British tea is way better than our (US) tea, and that's a hill I will die on.

True southern style sun tea will change your tune

It's biscuit and tea, you uncultured petal.

I still remember getting a Colin the Caterpillar cake for my 7th birthday

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I had one for my last birthday. I'm 45.

Come to think of it, it might have been the Aldi knock-off. Cuthbert, I think.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

I'm sick of people coming at Canada for Hawaiian pizza when the British are putting baked beans on their pies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

That’s not a pie.

Please tell me that Heinz Red Beans Pizza isn't a single label. It's just a trick of the light, right?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Excuse me but that isn't an official, original "Colin the Caterpillar" cake from Marks & Spencer, but an inferior and entirely unauthorised " Curly the Caterpillar" clone from Tesco.

As a proponent of fine British cuisine I take offence to this dire misrepresentation.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh god you're right. I'm sorry I was blinded by the glory of the bean pizza and didn't notice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Glory!?

It is a warcrime

It's scottish but potato scones and square sausage is the best breakfast food ever.

[–] towerful 3 points 1 day ago

I'll add haggis to that breakfast food list.
Nothing better than a morning roll with bacon, haggis, square sausages and an egg.

They’re right though. There’s also Karamelo Koala over here.

Look, I visited Britain a few years ago and you guys had pie with fish in it, which seemed kinda unique, fish & chips with vinegar in a newspaper, shortbread, haggis and other non-dessert "puddings" and breakfast with sausages etc.. (Also, we went to an Indian restaurant in Britain and it was really good. Like world class good ngl.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

British “Indian” restaurants are genuinely S-tier. In Oz curries are too wet and they put cream in all of them regardless of the dish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do other countries not have fish pies?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

That's a shame.

This meme is British people poking fun at ourselves.

Americans just recycle the same jokes from Reddit "lol conquered the world but doesn't use spice". From people who've never left their home town. You can ignore those.

The French also insult our food and they have more of a point but that's another matter and I'll personally fight them over it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pfft, what would the french know about good food, they probably don't even put cheese on their beans and toast

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

The French had to get really good at sauce because they ate horse meat.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

British cooking has a bad reputation, but they make really good comfort food. Sunday roast, yorkshire pudding, steak and ale pies, shepherd's/cottage pie, full english breakfast, pasties, fish pie, beef wellington, scones! I could go on. Sure it's mostly brown and beige food but cooked properly all of these dishes are really tasty!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

beef wellington

Corn dogs for rich people

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's puff pastry 'round a roast, not exactly made of gold.

British Curries are different than a lot of "authentic" indian curries, but they have become a thing in of them selves, over the years, and they are great.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They should lock the whole country up for the baked beans pizza

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Heinz is a US brand. You can blame them.

I'd like to try it though. Looks... interesting.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I prefer to get a normal pizza and put my own baked beans with it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Look at Gordon Ramsey over here, bet he serves it on a plate and everything

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Somehow this is such a Ken M response lol

I guess this is what the US thinks the UK likes, and the UK likes it enough for Heinz to keep manufacturing it and selling it in their country 😂
