UK food has lots of seasoning, I really don’t know where this meme comes from.
The UK actually has spicier food than anywhere else in Europe. The only other countries really being Spain and Hungary.
Even putting aside how massive British-Indian cuisine is here, there’s extensive use of English mustard, which is spicy (try it if you haven’t, it’s nothing like American or Dijon mustards), and horseradish, which is basically wasabi.
They abandoned the spices when France did. The reason? Poor people could also afford spices so it was no longer a status symbol. The new status symbol was simple meals of very fresh meat and vegetables cooked with complicated methods requiring many hours and loads of practice.
Yes, although the American ones come in a different, much more sugary sauce, which has led to Americans being confused as to why people would put it on toast and top with cheese.
American bread is also more sugary than uk bread too right? I’ve never tried it but I’ve heard from a lot of other fellow Brits that it almost tastes like cake in comparison
Yeah because the British are a historically poor country right? Not like South America or Asia!
What those people do to beans should be considered a war crime.
The elite are historically wealthy, not the peasants whose labour they profit off of.
People that take the “haha British food bad” meme this seriously are peak redditor.
Lololol👌 🤣
If it’s considered a warcrime then god damn call me the British empire when it finds any natural resource.
Are you talking about baking them? Don’t baked beans also appear in American cuisine?
Y’all could use more seasoning. Didn’t y’all do colonialism for spices?
Tell that to a Full English or a Tikka Masala

I was specifically referring to the beans
People season those too.
I always put all kinds of spices and herbs in my baked beans

Something being sugary has never stopped an American topping it with cheese before.
We (not me personally) even put cheddar cheese on apple pie.
“But what if we put cheese in the cake batter before we fry the batter?”
“But what if we fried butter?”
