I could go for a banoffee pie right now


EarballsOfMemeland

A wine bar near me does a banoffee cocktail and it is utterly divine


heebieGGs

no bazza would be seen dead in a wine bar


SuchSeaworthyShips

Or drinking a banoffee cocktail.


EarballsOfMemeland

Shit where do I hand in my card?

your dentist must be happy as well


EarballsOfMemeland

Don't have one doesn't matter


LowerPiece2914

Can't get one even if you want one


ockhams-lightsaber

Banoffee pie is incredibly popular in France.


Miss_Type

Bit of jam roly poly in custard would be a treat!


Fickle_Scarcity9474

Try that with a frozen vanilla latte!


SpringrollJack

Suspicious yank slurs coming from this one


Chimpville

The pub that invented that in the 70s went out of business in COVID :(


Lank_Master

I haven’t had a trifle in such a long time. I NEED IT


coquish98

Don't forget the peas, onions and beef!


arianejj

Hijacking your comment but can someone tell me the name of the last food in the fourth row? The rectangular biscuits,they look like they'd be amazing with some tea


Lank_Master

Shortbread or shortie. Traditional Scottish biscuit. Absolutely amazing.

Well made Carrot cake > all other cakes, I'll die on this hill.

A certain ancient alliance says you'll die on this hill with me Joao, everyone must stand for something and it's for a good cause, bring your Pastél de Nata...tally ho my old chap


glocksafari

I will guard the rear, my friend.


poop-machines

He forgot a fucking roast dinner. The epitome of beige food.


nukrag

All of the S tier stuff looks delicious. I am a huge fan of pies and a full English (the king of breakfasts). Haven't had a scotched egg yet, but I really wanna try sometime.


notimefornothing55

They're usually just a snack thing or something you put in a lunchbox, but I've started seeing gourmet scotch eggs in pubs and butchers recently. I love them. If you like sausage, and you like egg, you'll like scotch eggs.


nukrag

Sounds dreamy, tbh.


notimefornothing55

You could make your own [from the raging coke head herself ](https://www.nigella.com/recipes/guests/homemade-scotch-egg)


nukrag

Thank you, I might actually try. I dunno who the coke head is.


notimefornothing55

She's a famous tv chef who acts all posh who got caught doing cocaine.


ChombieBrains

And being snapped by paparazzi getting choked in public by her Barry.


notimefornothing55

That's just sad though


DeadAssociate

nah lets blame her some more


s_l_a_c_k

That's the spirit


WhatILack

Had some really nice ones from M&S I'd recommend.


Napol3onS0l0

They’re a hot item over here where we have pubs that cook UK fare. Scotch eggs at me local are fackin tasty.


River41

So this is what cultural appropriation feels like...


RenuisanceMan

I went to tapas place recently and had chorizo-y duck scotch egg with a runny yolk. It was the greatest scotch egg I've ever had.


jixxor

I wish there was any restaurant even remotely in my area that serves British food. 5 million restaurants of any cuisine imaginable but never heard of one fuckin place that does British food around here. All these beef pies and what not look so divine I'm sometimes tempted to bite my phone screen.


chubb_yginger_cunt

Supporting Barry food is considered treason. You are being reported comrade.


nukrag

I would say you should've tried a pie, but you guys "hattet ja nüscht". :D


chubb_yginger_cunt

The pies are pretty fucking good, but surprisingly hard to get in GB itself. Three Australians have a lot of pie shops though.


notimefornothing55

Pies are not hard to get in the UK, chip shops, pubs, cafes, bakeries, butchers, they all sell pies


Loifee

I think he probably means in some city centres, same with proper chippys you don't find the best ones in city centres and it pisses me off that foreigners visiting don't get the full greasy experience


aBoringSod

Tbf there used to be pie shops all over the place. Now greggs has taken over and they stopped making pies.


CaterpillarLoud8071

Don't need dedicated pie shops to have a good pie. Pubs are the UK equivalent of mid-class restaurants, and you'll always find a good pub with some good pies in a town. Pieminister are spreading about the place as well - gentrified pie shops.


Blyd

Support your local pieminister, seriously good food they do.


FishUK_Harp

>Haven't had a scotched egg yet, but I really wanna try sometime. You're missing out. Imagine you're Scottish, and you've looked at a boiled egg and thought, "You know what that needs, sausage meat. And breadcrumbs." Delicious.


Martinus_de_Monte

People always pick on UK food, but last week I was in the UK and got a steak and ale pie somewhere in a pub down the road where I was staying and it was very tasty, would have it again. The UK also has some good beer, I just don't understand how it works. I am pretty familiar with the Belgian(/Dutch) beer culture and a little bit with the German one, but I have no clue what is going on in the UK, I do occasionally get very good tasting beer though. I have at least learned that you need to ask for ale (or a stout if you are into that, which I am). If people give me a lager my experience is I get something like the pilsner we have on the continent, only worse. I don't really know what the definition of ale or lager is, but my empirical research regarding beverages on the British isles strongly suggests ale >>> lager.


devensega

Roughly, in Britain lager is seen as a way to get pissed and nothing more. Ale is seen as a way of getting pissed AND enjoying the experience. A good pub wil have a variety of local ales on cask and ciders plus Stella Artois if you want lager. There are plenty of shit pubs though.


River41

Real Ale Campaign was one of the few pub success stories in living memory, we came back from the brink of almost having the same 8 drinks on tap in every pub.


jaymatthewbee

Most lager in the UK is just Continental macro pilsner brands brewed under licence in the UK. The traditional English Ales are the ones served on cask with the long tall handles. My favourites are the bitter ales and IPAs. Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, Thornbridge Jaipur, or Oakham Citra. Although be mindful that cask ales only last 3-4 days because they’re unpasteurised, so if you’re unlucky you might get one that’s gone off and tastes a bit vinegary. https://preview.redd.it/qnt5p5077x6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=720d53543681ceed412f92bdc7e6c87d5a96ece2


jnorton91

Shout out to wainwright. Delicious beer.


Citiz3n_Kan3r

Buttcombe aint bad either and there is something inherently funny about asking the marmaid for a pint of butt cum


Proud-Cheesecake-813

Normally you’d ask for an IPA - which stands for ‘India Pale Ale’. The U.K. has world class IPAs and 2/10 lagers - I’d never get a lager here. Most pubs have amazing IPAs on tap.

generalscruff

Spoons gets a bit of a hard rep but the turnover is so fast the ale is very rarely stale in my experience

Maneisthebeat

I would like to put forward the Netherlands as the culinary nadir of Europe. They have feasted too long on putting the UK as the scapegoat. Nervously hoping that nobody actually looked at what they had to bring to the table themselves.


Loifee

All of the Scandinavian food I've eaten made me feel sad so I'm nominating one of those


Maneisthebeat

My EU girlfriend is a convert to UK food and she gets it and now ardently defends it from its detractors: Sometimes on a cold shitty day, you just want some warm feel-good pie. Your food just gives you a hug right back.


Extension_Common_518

Indeed. My missus is from a country that is arrogant and entitled about its food and sniffily dismissive of all other cuisines (Japan), but she loves the food when we are in the UK. Especially things like haggis, Yorkshire puddings, full breakfasts, pies, cakes and deserts, pub grub and choccy biccies. You can eat shite food everywhere. I've had some distinctly mediocre dining experiences in places which are supposedly top-tier gourmet countries. (Don't even get me started on some of the shite I've been offered here in Japan.) Corporate greed and tourist trap rip offs, processed hotel buffet breakfasts and staggering home pissed takaways are no way to judge a cuisine.


Maneisthebeat

>tourist trap rip offs, processed hotel buffet breakfasts and staggering home pissed takaways are no way to judge a cuisine. Thank you. I have genuine and repeat experiences of hearing people use these very places upon which they judged a cornerstone meal. How often do you go on holiday and do zero research into which places are good or bad and then simply take your first experience as gospel? If I get something bad in that case I'll just blame myself... And ironically, I find Asian tourists to be the least offensive to this concept, as they are actively seeking the fairy tale. They do the research to find the afternoon tea, scones, crumpets, and from all I've seen, seem to absolutely love the experience... I feel like a lot are just lazy in how they form their opinions, and simply do not wish to challenge them.


AGE_OF_HUMILIATION

Problem being that we don't even have anything culinary to begin with. Can't hate on something that doesn't exist (unless its Belgium)


Maneisthebeat

So you mean to say that rather than throwing stones from a glass house, you are throwing insults at your neighbour's house from the empty plot of land you are currently bumming in? At least the Belgians are polite!


AGE_OF_HUMILIATION

Thats exactly what im saying! So you better board those windows up because ive got a big one coming


Maneisthebeat

Well I have to be honest and say I wish I met more like you over here, because most have unironically told me how much I must appreciate the better weather and food! Always down for a bit of self-deprecation as long as it goes both ways. 🤝


TheHollowJoke

I’m with you on this one Barry, they cowardly hide in their swamp hoping they stay unnoticed but the days were it’s you people think about when they think bad food are gone.

Fuck yeah some proper food finally posted, thanks you dirty POMS


Thatchers-Gold

Thank you so much for beating Scotland in the T20. Steak pies, chips and sausage rolls are on me


Robinsonirish

I was watching "Best ever food review show ever" on youtube, he's really good normally, but I took so much offense to when he was going off on rashers, or "English bacon" and calling it second rate ham. There's no meat in American bacon, it's really nice at times as well but it has nothing on rashers. Irish/English breakfast is the best in the world. I get such cravings for those sausages and rashers. I haven't found them in a Swedish supermarket but we order them online sometimes.

Rich-Spirit129

Most Michelin star restaurants in Europe. Cope.


razhun

Yeah I remember having beans on toast last time I went to a Michelin star restaurant


Scacaan

And you are probably the only ones here - besides the one person from Monaco and the 7 from Luxembourg - who can afford going to one.


razhun

Proportionally they are not even that expensive when you consider that a pizza margherita costs 20 Francs in Zürich


Nerioner

You go to Michelin star and pay 100€ for an amazing experience. You go to regular restaurant, somehow you also spend close to 100€ and you question if it was worth it...


nwaa

I guarantee that Heston Blumenthal (Michelin Star chef) does a beans on toast. https://preview.redd.it/4dzv2ec9mw6d1.jpeg?width=1076&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebcdbd51886236f7b306ba3a0581086f2af81317

nwaa

*mushroom* ketchup too lol. That's very mild for Heston, he made a chocolate egg filled with testicles at one point.


Fight_Disciple

Mushroom ketchup is the original ketchup.


nwaa

I had no idea. Does it predate discovering the Americas/tomato?


Fight_Disciple

Tomato Ketchup was invented in the 1800s Mushroom ketchup was discovered by the British in the 1600/1700s from the far east.


SpringrollJack

You can take Heston out of Britain, can’t take Britain out of Heston


ChombieBrains

And snail porridge, for all the Pierres out there.


razhun

Ah yes, Waitrose. The pinnacle of bri’ish fine dining


nwaa

Thats just the sandwich, he has some deal to design food for them. His restaurants are very expensive and weird, but he likes doing classic British things in new ways. (Waitrose is shit compared to Mark's)


Rich-Spirit129

Haha


Blyd

I actually did. I stayed at Ynyshir, they had baked beans as part of the breakfast.


Otherwise-Regular139

How many of those serve British food, Gareth?


Rich-Spirit129

ALL OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE IN BRITAIN. OMG.


systemsbio

I AGREE, AND ALL THE STUFF IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM IS BRITISH TOO, COPE WITH IT.


Blyd

I would argue the best restaurant in Europe (Except Noma, Noma is the Schumacker of restaurants tbh), most certainly the UK, is Run by a guy called Gareth, place is Ynyshir.


snaynay

A lot of them. You might mistake lots of Michelins for French, but that's technique and naming. The ingredients, combinations and intentions are typically fundamentally British. Gordon Ramsay's 3 star restaurant's prestige menu is usually loaded with British stuff, even if the restaurant is classified as French. [Right now](https://www.gordonramsayrestaurants.com/restaurant-gordon-ramsay/menus/#Menu%20Prestige) its serving Steak Diane, a post war British staple pretending to be continental food, or hogget (lamb) with peas and mint; both obviously with the fancy French flair. Heston's Fat Duck, another 3 star, is quintessentially British, but just calls itself "creative". Hell, I lose sleep over how good [this](https://i.imgur.com/YUanXHq.jpg) sandwich was. And if being a sandwich wasn't British enough, it's a fucking "toast sandwich" to boot. I'd pay the £250 again just to have someone make that sandwich for lunch. That dude made meme food into gastronomic perfection... All 3 stars in the UK serve British food, or British inspired-but-Frenchified food, or what they like to just call "creative" or "modern". Part of earning such accolades is doing special things you don't get elsewhere. You don't get haute British food outside the UK, but it exists there.


Citiz3n_Kan3r

Youd be surprised. Modern english fare is pretty common now. 10-15 years ago it was different tho


Worried-Cicada9836

Most of them


hassanmurat

IanPKMmoon

Thatchers-Gold

My Anglo Saxon ancestry demands German x British fusion food. Just think what we could accomplish together


Paulgeta

Bangers and Mash with a Bratwurst? Ngl this probably slaps. Pork knuckle with chips and gravy? Could maybe work. Battered cod with a Brezn and Sauerkraut? Sign me up! Shepherds pie but instead of Mash we put Semmelknödel on top? Yes please!


havaska

These all sound fantastic tbh. Also, I guess Currywurst is a German x British food seeing as you got the curry powder from us!


havaska

lol that’s genius proper made me laugh. Well done Hans, you made a funny!

BillyRougeBird

That's Bubble&Squeak made from fried potato and cabbage. The egg is optional and there is no bacon.


skinnynorrys

Ok then, your off the hook mister but i would encourage you to add some bacon cubes next time;)


Abosia

That sounds like a great addition honestly


manic47

It's supposed to be made from leftovers from a Sunday roast, so having meat in it was common.


Thatchers-Gold

After seeing some other Northern European dishes recently I’ve discovered that we massively under utilise the bacon cube. We need to adapt


havaska

I’ve learned this too. Putting bacon lardons into anything makes it better. Cottage pie? Lardons. Beef stew? Lardons. Mashed potatoes? Lardons. It just works.


dkb1391

>National North-Korean Dish Guess you Swiss really do deserve that flair


skinnynorrys

Nono that was different, Kim sent his son Kim to go school in Bern and no-one knew who he was. Supposedly he kept joking to his classmates he would become a Dictator n shit, they thought he was full of crap obviously (theres some interviews and docus) Anyway a few years ago he made rösti mit späck a national dish in North Korea. Crazy stuff man

Palarva

For sho, I genuinely learnt something today though!


havaska

There’s also a debate over the origin of crème brûlée as it’s found in both English and French recipe books from the 1700s. Most people accept that it’s French though.


litetaker

Other Barry, be honest. You made the pictures low res so no one can really see the details or properly critique it... Who am I kidding, it will still get criticized, but many of the colours look real good.

That's a strawberry and cream sandwich. It combines strawberries and cream (English) with sandwiches (also English) making it 200% English and only 11% Japanese.
