[@sparkythemagicpiano2867]

The reason Britain got a reputation for bad food was from WW2. American troops based here took back tales of bad food, because the UK had been on rationing for several years by the time the US entered the war so of course the food wasn’t as good as it would be in a country without rationing, like the US. The UK farming industry for instance didn’t recover until the late 50’s. Also, a lot of food from other countries originated in the UK. The Americans didn’t invent apple pie for instance, nor did they create a lot of food they think they did, many of them they came from the UK. Unfortunately the reputation has been hard to shake, despite the reality being completely different. It’s hilarious because the food in the US is just SO bad (I lived there ) I am glad Canadians are more open minded.

[@stue2298]

Britain imported 70% of its food alot from the US in WW2, so when the American troops said British food was bad, they where mostly saying that US food is bad, which still today american food is bad, full of additives and other ingredients that are banned in the UK.

On the bread and butter pudding, that looks like clotted cream. Clotted cream is a big favourite in the South West of England, such as Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. A lot of our puddings go well with it, such as cream teas (scones), etc.

Re: Cornish pasty - the crust on the outside was for miners to hold and eat whilst down the mines in Cornwall ;)

[@yummyirl]

A guide at an old mine in Cornwall once told me some laborers' wives would put a savory filling at one end and a sweet one at the other. A whole meal in a sturdy pastry. I don't know if she was having me on but I thought that was pretty nifty.

[@stephenhodgson3506]

Originally the rolled crust on the edge was not eaten. The miners in Cornwall were mining for tin and one of the other minerals that often occurs near tin is arsenic and traces of arsenic would get on the miners hands, As arsenic is toxic and washing facilities were none existent underground eating with your hands was dangerous. So the pasty had the rolled crust which was in effect the handle to eat the pasty with. When you had eaten the main party of the pasty you threw away the handle that may or may not have had arsenic traces.

With British food we keep it simple, and traditional, believe it or not, food tastes nice without being overly spiced and seasoned. We love a bit of salt and pepper and condiments, but we like to taste what we eat. we are also one of the less obese countries because it's not all laden with salt sugar and butter. also, fish and chips are only good in the uk.

A proper Cornish pasty is meant to be an entire meal! It was originally made for miners and it is believed that the thick crust was designed to be held while eating the pasty then thrown away so their meal wasn’t contaminated with the harmful residuals on their hands.

The idea that British food is bland is the biggest myth about it, and probably came from the 2nd world war, when everything was rationed here. Britain has been trading in spices since as far back as the Tudor times, and you've only got to look at a lot of our puddings and cakes to know we've always used spices in our cookng and baking. I found it funny that you thought the tikka masala was really spicy - it's well known for being one of the mildest dishes you could choose, and is often eaten by 'novices' as the 'gateway curry,' enabling you to work your way up to the more savage ones like vindaloo!

Britain got it's reputation for bland, tasteless, poor quality food during WW2 during rationing and shortages. GI's based in the UK told their families about the poor food, which became the prevalent opinion. This was actually reinforced by imported canned foods from the US during and after the war, whilst rationing was still in place for much of the 1950s. Before WW2, British cuisine had a high international reputation. Modern British food, with worldwide influences, can hold its own against any country. Obviously, cheap, crappy food is found the world over, including the UK.

As a Londoner let me help you guys out. Firstly, the reason why you found it so hard to find a bacon buttie is because you were south of Birmingham. A buttie is a slang term for a sandwich used mainly up north, like Yorkshire.

[@jennetscarborough5145]

Bread and Butter Pudding is made by spreading butter on slices of (usually white) bread, layered in a dish, optionally with raisins scattered between the layers. This is then soaked with a mixture of beaten eggs, cream, and sugar (similar to French Toast/Eggy Bread/Poor Knights of Windsor, but made in a layered dish rather than fried in individual slices), sometimes topped with an extra sprinkle of sugar (and optional Cinnamon) to create an extra crispy topping, and gently baked so that the custard cooks to a soft set consistency. It was traditionally made as a way to use up stale bread in the days before bread was stuffed with preservatives. Butterscotch sauce isn't a traditional topping for it, but I can imagine it working well, and yours looked to be topped with Clotted Cream. Clotted Cream is made by gently heating cream so that the fats become more concentrated and float above the watery whey before being chilled and scooped away. It's somewhere between cream and butter and is served with various puddings, as well as the eponymous Cream Tea with scones and jam.

Re Chicken Tikka Mass. being spicy, ironically it is one of our mildest and often recommended to "curry virgins" as an entry-level dish. Most curries are hotter or spicier. If you want to understand the British palate, bear in mind the difference in heat between English mustard and that insipid US stuff, but also that Britain sat at the centre of a vast trading Empire which included most of the spicey places in the World. We were the ones that carried and sold them to everyone else. Also many Brits worked as administrators, businessmen and in the forces in all these places and brought fusion versions of what they found home. Also, in certain areas of the country where smuggling was rife (ie pretty much everywhere) spices expensive anywhere else in the World and available to few but the wealthiest, were to be found in some of the humblest homes (often as payments for ignoring those lines of porters carrying contraband through your village at night). Britain has been one of the most cosmopolitan places in the World for some centuries, and its cuisine reflected that. The experience of a few GIs of an island which had been under siege for 3 or 4 years is barely representative.

Cornish Pasties we’re originally in two parts, with a savoury in one side and a sweet in the Other. They were made for miners to take to work. They could hold the crimped crust with their dirty hands, and throw it away afterwards. You need to get fish and chips at the coast where the fish is fresh. Whitby in Yorkshire is famous for them. As someone has already said, the bad food reputation came from American soldiers who were posted here in WWII. They had rationing in the rest of Europe during the war, but the lads didn’t experience that, because when they were there people were shooting at them.

Pasties have the crimped edges because the miners would hold them by that edge and then toss away the bit they’d been holding in their dirty hand. Also many would also have half of it with a sweet filling so they have the savoury then a pudding for after all in one pie.

[@andyb2706]

Anna, you hit the nail on the head when you said the pasty is like a dinner. That is were the origin of the pasty came from. The tin miners of Cornwall used to work very long and hard hours and it was some distance to get from the surface down to where the tin in the mines was extracted so they created the pasty so that they could take it underground with them and have their dinner down in the mine. The reason for the pinched curved end of the pasty is that they were extracting tin out of the ground which meant they came into contact with poisons in the tine so they would hold the pasty by the curved pinched ends, eat the pasty and its contents and just throw the pinch curved part of the pasty away so they did not ingest the poisons on their fingers.

So something people misunderstand commonly: fries = thin cut chips which are generally cooked by frying them. Chips = chunky cut chips, most commonly cooked in the oven (though when you eat them out they will often be fried) the important part is that a chip is thick cut. Crisps = crisps because they are very thin slices of potato, baked into crispy snacks, hence the name; crisps :)

for the best bread and butter pudding, you need to use the stale bread that's left at the end of a loaf shortly before it start to go off, when it's in that state it gives the best texture to the pudding, it's just not something most people tend to do anymore sadly so when you buy it pre-made like it is here, it's likely not the 'best' version it could be due to being made 'fresh' if that makes sense, but I have no doubt it will still taste delicious.

You could also buy a pickled onion or a pickled egg that were in a large glass jar again some chip shops still do them but the number of shops that do so has reduced.
