I'm surprised that "British" isn't like 90% from every other country. My expectations for food were extremely low and it was still shocking how consistently terrible it was. I fear they are not escaping the beige slop allegations.

There really isn’t much difference between the food in Britain, Germany, Sweden, etc. For example, they all basically do the same sausage and potatoes with poorly seasoned vegetables dish, just like every state in the US claims that they have a special version of pizza or hotdogs or whatever even though it’s really all just the same shit. It’s the narcissism of small differences.

Oh my god in Sweden they have lingonberry jam on toast but in the UK they have marmalade on toast and in Germany they’ll put Nutella on toast holy shit so different.

I know this is a shitpost thread but no one in Sweden has ever put lingonberry jam on toast. It's a tart condiment used to balance savory dishes.

Doubtless at least one Swedish person has lacked culinary discipline and spread jam on toast, putting all of Scandinavia to shame.
