an empire built on stealing spice from brown people and they REFUSE to use them

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

They refused to use the spices, not the brown people.

I used to eat potato chip and bologna sandwiches. Thats as weird as I got

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I still do this. I save easily $200/month eating it 3 days a week. Pro tip: the bread and bologna at Aldis is S tier and with the right addons and seasonings it’s a fantastic light meal.

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I ate a lot of good food when I visited the UK. Honestly anyone who claims has only bad food has a skill issue.

[–] Kaz@lemmy.org 1 points 10 hours ago

Yeah I agree, there was always weird things like every culture, blood pudding and stuff, but generally there is absolutely nothing wrong with average UK food, except it's not that healthy.

[–] bananabird@lemmy.zip 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like I’m the strange person for answering yes, I eat these now and again. I like to toast only the middle slice, and when it is done, butter salt and pepper both sides. The butter soaks in and softens the toasted slice up again, but it keeps a chew. Gives it a meaty texture that way.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

For a while, I was toasting sandwhiches by stacking the top bread piece under the bottom one with topings on top of it. You end up with a sandwich (with actual sandwich toppings) just toasted on the inside and soft on the outside.

I love the texture just like I loved putting plain potato chips between two pieces of bread. Soft then crunch.

[–] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's a wartime / depression era food, not something you'd make by choice, typically

Cause bread was cheaper than say meat or cheese or what not

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago

First appeared in an 1861 cookbook, target for this was sick people. Would be easy to keep down, carbs and fats to nourish more than just a broth.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 21 hours ago

Ive had it a couple of times, for a laugh, while broke as a joke. Only just discovered that i didnt invent it though.

This isn't typical cuisine, this reads much more extremely poor so all I have is bread and fortunately butter.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 8 points 20 hours ago

Not even my dad ate this and he liked all sorts of crazy rationing-era foods he'd grown up with in the war.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That says it’s from the 19th century. What American food from then wasn’t garbage?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Uh, your average breakfast in the U.S. was basically a shitload of protein and potatoes in the 19th century. Idk about you but I definitely like pork, oatmeal, fried potatoes, eggs — with a couple pieces of toast that's all I need in current year.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

So do we 😂

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Ok, Brits… what is GOOD British food? Fish ‘n Chips? Mushy Peas? Full English? Sunday Roast? I’ve been to the UK more times than I can count and even the Pubs often serve international fare instead of Spotted Dick.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 16 hours ago

Not a Brit but I would add the different pies/shepherd pies etc to that list. But really I don't think you can not count the imported cuisine because I do love getting Indian, Caribbean, etc when I'm there. Even Italian TBH you can get some nice pizza (but not quite like Italy obviously).

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 3 points 17 hours ago

I quite like Yorkshire puddings.

But I agree, British cuisine is pretty beige in vibe

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Explains all the extra paddin on Patty MacFadden

I tried the fabled beans on toast and i was shocked when I bit into the toast that there was butter on the toast. It was a dumb thing to be shocked by but I did not expect it 😂.

That being said, it looks really stupid in person because it's literally toast with a ton of beans. Taste wise, it was ok.

Here's a crappy photo:

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

What sort of catastrophic mental state do you have to be to think

I shall put beans on thine toast. And yea; there was much rejoicing

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be taste wise. Like I finished all of it no problem. But amongst all breakfast foods its pretty mediocre and nothing to write home about.

[–] MrMetaKopos@slrpnk.net 4 points 19 hours ago

Poor... And not normal poor, but wartime poor. It was invented by Heinz to sell beans in England.

It's strangely tasty.

Tried it when I first heard about this and somehow the crunch and the butter work really well with the untoasted bread.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (6 children)

In my 5 decades of Britishness I've never ever heard of a toast sandwich. And for one and a half of those decades we were so poor that we sometimes had sugar sandwiches just so we wouldn't starve.

But, yeah, I'd give it a go. Hell, I may even have one today.

No wonder they started wars over spices.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Also British food: jellied eels. Cut up eels in jello.

Fuck that.

[–] makingrain@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Didn't the US have pasta in jello?

By 1930, there appeared a vogue in American cuisine for congealed salads, and the company introduced lime-flavored Jell-O, to complement the add-ins that cooks across the country were combining in these aspics and salads. Popular Jell-O recipes often included ingredients like cabbage, celery, green peppers, and even cooked pasta.[10]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jell-O

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I'm pretty sure people were writing recipes as shit posts back then. There's no way any human being willingly ate those.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Don't knock it until you've been on rationed flour for several years

[–] miked@piefed.social 1 points 14 hours ago

great scott!

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What even is jove

Edit: okay this one's complicated. It's like saying "holy shit" ("oh my god"), but you're Roman and saying "holy jupiter(the god)", but you're also English and it entered popular usage through Shakespeare, and you're also from before it became "by george"....Or something.... Tldr it's old Latin and jove=jupiter

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 69 points 1 day ago (13 children)

If that sandwich is bland it's on you it clearly says to add butter, salt and pepper to taste.
