Apparently the British wish to lock me up for daring to suggest something with flavor instead of a cucumber sandwich

to be honest, i doubt the spice trade had much of an influence on english prole cuisine

In all seriousness a lot of spices were used mostly in tea. But the British were mainly stealing stuff like cotton, gold, lumber, etc. and not necessarily food items.

Wouldn't want to have my spotted dick and blood crisps or whatever the fuck British people eat tasting like anything other than boiled celery.

“Boiled celery? A bit exotic, isn’t it?”

How dare you try to poison people with flavour! Everyone knows a proper cucumber sandwich is a single layer of cucumber slices (skin removed) between two slices of white bread (Use us-foreign-policy as a guide). If you're feeling particularly daring you may add a small pinch of salt and pepper but be careful not to over season, you wouldn't want to make something tasty by accident!

This is why the English have to claim half of the food their immigrants brought with them as their own, lest they look up and realize the only tasty thing they make themselves is deep-fried (and even then that's arguably Scottish).

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

you got really close to what i think is the prototypical recipe, no shade. i just really like the daikon and pate spread.

If you went to an English tea room for afternoon tea

Well there's your first mistake

A cucumber sandwich is just a water sandwich with extra steps
