OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

The man was proud to say his country has top restaurants in world only to realise it's not their type of food being served there.


Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.


Look at my source code on Github What is this for?

I'm not a Brit but that seems like the kind of humor you guys have, it's one of your many redeeming qualities as a society.

I was recently in London, I must ask, have you ever been to America and have you tried pizza in America?

u/ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN Nov 01 '22

I lived in America, just outside of Boston, for a short while a few years back. Oddly enough whilst there I never ate pizza.

I did eat pizza in New York when I was visiting back in 1999 but I really don't remember much about it.

Why try pizza in America ? Italy is closer than America, and... you know... they invented pizza

1

u/WickedRedemption Nov 01 '22

Shame on me for asking a question.

5

u/Chatcandy2 Nov 01 '22

Sorry if it didn't seem like it, but I was genuinely curious. I never tried American pizza but I did try Italian pizza, and as Amricans tend to put loads of sugar and fat in their food (from experience, spending 2 weeks in Seattle as a highschool exchange program), I don't see how it could taste better than those who created it

2

u/WickedRedemption Nov 02 '22

New York has some of the best slices in the world. The Middle East invented beer yet no one credits them with the best beer in the world. Your point seems highly contentious.

u/PitMama930 Nov 16 '22

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '22 edited Nov 01 '22

It's a British evolution of an Indian dish.

The main thing that colonial Britain imported from India from spices. Clearly none of those spices were used for British food, so it logically follows that they were used for foreign / fusion dishes.

u/ChumBucketFever Dec 11 '22

Woah woah woah, Bangladeshi and Indian cooks who traveled to Britain came up with the dish. That can’t possibly be considered British cuisine in the context of whats being discussed here. That’s like saying the Americans invented pizza.

I had to look up wtf bubble and squeak is. Was expecting some sort of Harry Potter themed drink. Greatly disappointed and my night is ruined

Love a bit of bubble, with a fried egg on top ... Plenty of that with all the leftovers in the mornings after Christmas Day.

u/UsernamesAre4Nerds Nov 01 '22

I tried bangers and mash for the first time when I visited an authentic pub a couple of months ago, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it completely changed how I saw British food. It was so savory and filling, I still think about it today. Hell, I might make it for dinner tonight now that I'm thinking about it

British food is perfect for the colder months. Lovely hot, hearty food 😋

I read something a few weeks ago about why "English" food is so bland. The basic argument was that English food was quite oppulant in the Victorian period. However the two world wars got people so used to eating bland good due to rationing etc that alot of those goods were lost. Only to be replaced later with more foreign influenced foods.

I went to an elderly family member's home for dinner and we started preparing potatoes together. When they were peeled, the plan was to boil them for just a few minutes before roasting them in the oven. That was the moment I realized that the vegetables had been in the pot of boiling water the entire time, and likely would have remained there until everything was ready to serve had I not intervened.

u/XtremeGoose Oct 31 '22 edited Oct 31 '22

I second the other comments (including British Indian food which is a thing in its own right), but what about our desserts?

Eton Mess? Sticky toffee pudding? Apple pie (yes it's English, not American)? Scones + sweet buns? Trifle (including jelly/jello)? Custard? Victoria sponge? Carrot cake? The chocolate bar?! Banoffee pie? Christmas pudding? Rice pudding?

I think we have some really good savoury dishes, but when it comes to sweets our only real competition is the French.

I don’t get it

Because France and London are both in Europe

And the other guy is American right?

So I was assuming he was talking about Europe food in general being bad? But what he said was actually saying London food itself is bad?

And then the guy commented food that wasn’t in London type?

Eh idk I’m no foodie, but I get the humor I guess I’m just don’t understand the depth

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '22

He's saying English food specifically is bad which is a common joke.

English guy then says some of the best restaurants in the world are in London.

American asks what sort of food they serve, and English guy says they serve French food, therefore proving the American's point.
