People don’t realise that a lot of British food they say looks ugly and bland is often food that only people could afford during the Industrial Revolution in the north and when we had to ration during the war, some of those foods stuck around as we could only really eat out of tins but also our best foods came from that age such as fish and chips which was originally an affordable meal for the working class and was served in newspapers to save on cost, it was loved so much by Winston Churchill it was the only food not rationed during the war. Sunday Roasts, Beef Wellingtons, Full English Breakfast. It’s hearty food that got us through wars and rough weather and tastes absolutely amazing, it makes me proud 🇬🇧

Chilis and pepper were first imported into Britain in the C16th. South Asian restaurants have been in Britain since the C18th. And British adapted South Asian has been widespread since in the 1970s.

@@realhorrorshow8547 I am raising these points respectfully. England/The United Kingdom (we were not always United) have imported foreign herbs, spices, foods & drinks for many centuries. There are import records (for trade) & records from Royal courts (for consumption of the King) of this. The 1st Indian restaurant in Britain was actually in the 19th Century (I Googled this), I believed it was actually Verasamy (1926) but I was wrong. Yes only around 45% of US citizens have passports, but this is still around 160 million people. You must look at this information in context. Why do people travel? (Main reasons) 1. Holiday/Vacation 2. Family reasons 3. Business Most travel for regular people is for holiday/vacation. The US is so large with every type of geography & climate, when people are going on holiday why would one (unless wanting to visit a particular region) need to leave the US? So a passport is not needed to travel domestically.

I grew up in Manningham, Bradford. I was brought up on Sunday roast, but also used to my friend's home cooked South Asian food. When at my my friend's uncle's home in Paris, his German aunt could not make chapati and served fresh French bread with the curry. When I toured US, I stayed with a family with a Yorkshire mum and dad who had ancestors there before the English speakers. Ham and mushy peas or roast with Yorkshire pudding were on the menu, but I helped prepare traditional "Tex Mex" food, much better than the stuff in chain restaurants. Note, It is not a surprise to see chili con carne served in a large Yorkshire pudding in pubs in the UK these days, or curry for that matter. Mind you, the chili might include baked beans, which is something I add to bulk it out.

Family and friend celebration. She's clearly not a frugal lass from the former colony of Auz and former penal colony... Franny Craddock and Delia Smith et al would be calling for her to be sent to the Tower. A Sunday roast is also more than a day. It was day when you had the time to cook. The leftovers were used to make easy weekday meals. Hash brown's from left over roast potatoes. Shepherd's pie from roast lamb, Cottage pie from roast beef. Chicken pie or soup from roast chicken. Left over roasted Yorkshire pudding could be made into a mid week pudding treat.... She stricks as the kind of lass who wants to go to restaurant every day, orders in takeaways daily and uses the oven in her house to store her shoes or her wine... 😅😢😂

[@charlesfulcrum3170]

Sorry America, but Tom Kerridge is not the acknowledged master of the British Sunday Roast. He’s a Michelin star chef (so very good). He took a British pub and turned it in to a restaurant. Even he quietly acknowledges that. The Sunday roast goes back hundreds of years and was traditionally eaten after going to church. It has a strong (but not exclusive link to Yorkshire), due to the Yorkshire pudding (not a pudding in the traditional sense, bit a component of the Sunday roast).

Hachis de parmentier, being the French equivalent of a shepherd's pie, for example. Wheat based foods are also found in many countries, and there is nothing particularly "complex" about the dishes you mention. Quite the reverse, dishes like pie and mash come from a working-class culture, and it has its value and appeal precisely because of its simplicity, and not for its complexity or richness.

Brits like to point the finger at WWII rationing, but the roots of the decline are more complex and took place over several hundred years leading to a world-wide poor reputation for cooking that is only recently beginning to fade.
