Always makes me laugh when the country that sells "cheese" in spray cans or as plastic slices calls other countries' food bad.

Is Ash…banging Pikachu?

You know what else is poor food? Duck confit.

You know what else? Soul food is literally food made from things slaves got and grew themselves. Like, it's below poor food and it's absolutely amazing.

There's poverty food from all over the world that's amazing. The English are just bad at food.

Also, adding neon green food coloring to your fucking peas isn't a poverty move. That food coloring isn't free. And it's probably shrinking your balls.

Sorry, I guess that would be "bollocks."

Ay yo, tacos ain't rich people food. Just saying.

Moral: Spotted Dick is what you get from spending too much on Rent, Bangers & Mash.

they realize that every culture's cuisine is dictated by the poor doing what they can with what they have, right? Do you think my italian-american ancestors were hype to eat beans and paste every day for its own sake? No, they did it because they had 170 kids each and could only find work throwing garbage over the hill into the pond for 2 cents a year. It's just that they also made it really, really good.

I thought this was an interesting topic of one of the episodes of chef's table (netflix docuseries). The chef focused on what real "american" cuisine looks like, and since cuisine typically comes out of hardship, American food doesn't have as distinct of an identity since the USA has typically been a country of "plenty." Was really a fascinating point, and it made me look at food culture in a very different way

This keeps coming up like British chefs aren’t household names in America.

Also, spotted dick is awesome.

Taiwanese man who can cook. Dated a British girl in college. I normally cook and one day she decided to cook for me.

I went into the kitchen to see what was happening and she was boiling the broccoli.... in just water.... No salt....no oil..... just water.

She was also microwaving some kind of yellow peas in the microwave.... in just water.

I haven't made it over to the UK to try real British food, but as of now, it's not very favorable.

All that hoity-toity British "poor" food, only available at restaurants. Meanwhile, tacos are literally found on the streets the world over, where they are always delicious.

What I'm saying is: 🌮 > 🇬🇧

Blows my mind every time I get reminded of toast sandwiches - it's treated with the same sense of normalcy that I would have for, say, microwave ramen

There's also cock-a-leekie soup.

And it's fucking delicious.
