Why do people always think of "Fish and Chips" when British Cuisine got mentioned?
Fish and Chips is literally just deep fried, tasteless cod, soaked in oil. Served with potatoes, deep fried, soaked in oil.
There's so much better stuff on offer from the British Isles (like Steak and Kidney Suet Pudding, for example, or indeed any of the glorious British pies). And yet nobody cares about them and everybody would say "Lol your country's only good for deep frying fish! British cuisine is therefore shit!"
It's like if people say the Italians are only good for Spaghetti Bolognese, or the French are only good for Snails.
do you really think steak and kidney pudding has the high ground in this matter

If Gentlemen will have French Cooks, they must pay for French Tricks. So much is the blind Folly of this Age, that they would rather be impos'd on by a French Booby, than give Encouragement to a good English Cook!

>Kidney pie >Piss-flavored pie made from piss-flavored organ that you can't properly clean

Nobody says that fish and chips is the only good British dish, it's just one that comes to mind. The exact same way that snails come to mind when discussing the French or Bolognese for the Italians. It's not a statement of "the only good dish" or anything like that, it's just an example of one well-known food from that country. Chicken Tikka Masala is another good example for British cooking.

I'd give anything for a steak and gravy slice right now desu

Still better than the rest vomitus crap you brits eat
Samuel Kelly

Charles Long
British food is fucking shit. Most of the time it somehow manages to be stodgy and unsatisfying at once. I'm amazed that even have a dish to show off to tourists.

Not being funny, but only losers in the south use "oil"
In The North We deep fry our superior Haddock And Chips in Beef Dripping.
Higher smoke point, no "soaked in oil" southern fail.
Pity you live in the wrong part of the country.
Noah Scott
chips absorb oil no matter what temperature you fry them at
Christopher Ward
British cuisine while not the most varied but is for sure terribly underrated. I happen to be a lot near Oxford and well before I was pretty sure was all about the breakfast and fish and chips.
Evan Bailey
I love making steak and guiness pies. The gravy is so fucking rich and good. Thickly slice some potatoes without peeling and bake them for the last 25 minutes the pie's done for a great meal, have it with some peas.
Evan Richardson
recipe?
Landon Butler
>no greggs in west britain
u wot m8? There's loads of the fuckers here in Bristol.
Chase Hernandez
I think his point was that they cannot absorb OIL if you fry them in DRIPPING instead. The higher smoke point was a side comment.
You can follow that as a basic outline. I serve with veg instead of putting it inside the pie, and replace it instead with more steak (leaner instead of overly fatty) so the pie isn't underfilled. The guinness makes the gravy dark and thick, almost black, but it's so damn good. Goes great with the chips too if you let the filling spill and combine.

You...you don't know what any of those things are, do you?
William Price
worcestershire fag here they everywhere here too
Jason Sullivan
Having looked at that recipe, don't go near it. I just found the first steak pie recipe and posted it since I use a basic template, but don't use oxo cubes. It needs real stock or it'll become watery salty shit.
Mason Sanchez
right back at you, dripping is a fat, not an oil
Nathan Lee
I meant to say Dublin
Benjamin Morgan
>Confused Dublin with Britain
Carter Wood
It's a joke, like that Dublin is basically west Britain
Alexander Anderson
But it isn't... Belfast maybe, but the republic isn't part of Britain
Hunter Rivera
I have a weakness for mushy peas and pickled onions.
Jack Ramirez

Connor Gonzalez
pasties
