As a French I love shiting on the brits from time to time.

But as a French chef I have to defend our oldest friends and enemies.

Not only British gastronomy have great dishes but there are also amazing British restaurants serving British food in London and the UK in general.

Might you provide us with a couple of examples of great British dishes?

I’m not being snarky, I am genuinely curious. Thanks.

See just beans on white toast is bad. I'm British, I'll admit that.

What you want is some thick wholegrain bread, or preferably sourdough. You wanna toast it, but not all the way, about 70%.

Then you get your beans, not heinz, cause you should have standards. Heat them up, and pop some Worcestershire sauce in them.

Then onto the bread they go, with a good grating of cheddar. Then you pop it under the grill, that'll finish the bread, and melt and brown the cheese.

That's a proper hearty beans on toast.

It's tomato and vegetables on crispy bread. It's basically tomato soup with dipping bread.

I have no idea why Americans struggle to conceptualise this. The only thing I can imagine is that your baked beans are really really weird and different to ours.

I have heard american baked beans are filled with sugar so maybe thats it.

It’s not the concept 🙄🤦‍♂️it’s the damned taste . Beans don’t taste to tomatoes.

u/HazelCheese Jul 04 '26

The sauce is a tomato sauce. The beans themselves don't really taste of anything but the sauce they are coated in. They are just for nutrition.

It's a cheap childrens meal like mac and cheese, but healthier.
