Did you cook that using your camera flash?

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Left it out until there was a break in the clouds

Gotta take it in before that UV hits it. What if it accidentally developed some color or flavor?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I was going to say something but this is way better.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Lmao. Cooked 'em with this comment that's for sure.

[–] CelloMike@lemmy.world 83 points 1 month ago (7 children)

I meannnn

Brit here, all the elements are correct but jeez please cook all of that for at least twice as long

[–] JillSteinsPuckeredAnus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Nobody visits England for the food.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 24 points 1 month ago (17 children)

Well no, people visit the UK to experience our culture and history.

When they arrive they are often pleasantly surprised that our food is actually quite good.

A proper fried breakfast with quality meats and good sundries beats an american breakfast hands down. Proper back bacon instead of that crispy streaky shit Americans eat, proper sausages instead of those shitty little cat turd "links", toast made from thick cut bread from a real bakery (or baked on site). God tier.

I challenge anyone to eat a proper shortcrust pastry meat pie made with slow cooked beef in a rich beer/red wine gravy with vegetables and chips and come away thinking it isn't anything other than delicious (unless they dont like pies....)

Proper back bacon instead of that crispy streaky shit Americans eat,

This is the only part I'll push back on being better, and even then, it's with some qualifications. Rashers are fine, and I think I even prefer them if it's on a sandwich or burger, but just sat on a plate? Slab bacon beats it every time for me. A nice, thick cut piece of streaky bacon is just more tasty to me, though you need the right balance of lean and streaky bits. Honestly, I think that's where rashers lose me at breakfast, they're just too far on the lean side, so you hardly get any of the nice, crispy fat bits, just a little strip of it at the edges.

Then again, I have no complaints with an Irish breakfast roll for breakfast if I'm feeling lazy, which, around here, gets you some sausage links, rasher, and a couple pieces of black and white pudding, wrapped up in the same sort of pastry you'd make a sausage roll with. Not the healthiest of breakfasts, but it certainly does the job when you're hungry and tastes great with some brown sauce on it.

I love English food. All of the British Isles do pub food to die for, especially in colder weather.

I disagree

The best, most fun meal of my life was in England

Mate they’ve obviously booked this long enough. All the colours gone

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

Mostly we just want to be sure it's dead.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Needs mushrooms still I think. Or fried tomatoes, or black pudding if you are feeling fancy.

Even the bread was boiled to prevent browning.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man the energy crisis has hit UK hard; they’re only half toasting their toast and parcooking their food.

Maillard would be very upset with the lack of caramalisation and browning on any of this supposedly fried food.

The cuisine of England led their people to become the best sailors in the world.

[–] joe_archer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

The mere fact there are 3 "sausages" but only one rasher of bacon tells me this person has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

It really isn’t. Please do not

[–] Skrapz101@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That looks so undercooked, where's the tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and hash browns?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 month ago

By the look of that egg, it seems to have taken all the heat for itself, leaving the other protiens in the cold.

As pale as the a powdered wig

Have you thought of cooking it?

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

everything on that plate looks like it should be boiled for a little bit longer.

Is it so pale because of the lack of sun?

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 9 points 1 month ago

This looks like someone was afraid they might accidentally cook something.

[–] WandowsVista@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

are they aware that the great war has ended?

[–] chattre@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

ragebait? I'm not even British this food just looks like it was intentionally cooked in the worst ways possible

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Ah, so you're familiar with British culinary principles then..

[–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I'm offended and grossed, but I upvoted because that's about right.

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

No no no no no

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Does it fuck. We'd at least cook it first.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Based on how well cooked everything else is on this plate, that tea hasn't got enough milk in it

The sausages:

Deep boiled English breakfast

[–] PragmaticOne@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Hahaha in your house maybe :D

[–] SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Where's the fried bread, where's the buttered toast, where's the fried tomatoes, where's the rest of the bacon, why are the sausages raw? For some, the black pudding and hash-browns seem to be missing.
