    The dinners aren’t the problem. It’s the baked beans for breakfast… Also, my Dad, who was born in London, insisted on eating Marmite, which I know many of you will defend, but also piccalilli and Daddies sauce and if you like those things, I will give you major side-eye.

        I don’t often have them, given they are a heart attack on a plate. But an English breakfast can set you up for the day and baked beans are a staple ingredient. Particularly if they are cooked in the bacon/sausage fat.

          Low sugar baked beans are surprisingly healthy. The rest of the fried breakfast, less so.

        You’re entitled to your incorrect opinion.

        Marmite is notorious for it’s loved/hated status. They’ve done a whole marketing thing around it in the past.

        Even when describing things that have people on either side of the fence we’ll say that it’s “like marmite.”

        Neither saag paneer nor gyros have such things in them either and they’re delicious. Probably because Indian and Greek food are better.

        For that matter, a plain old carrot doesn’t have any high fructose corn syrup in it. Ever tried one? They’re quite nice. You don’t even have to cook them.

        Of course, that’s just what THEY want you to think.
