We sometimes talk about not pooping…

As a Latino, the first time trying sweet beans in a pastry was so alarming. I still don’t like them, it’s so weird. Now sweet, fried plantains with a side of refried beans and avocado? Yes please!

Are they real beans that taste sweet or sweats that look like beans?

Hmm, maybe somewhere in between?

An acquaintance of mine bought an ice cream in china thinking it to be grapes or something, but it was bean ice cream, they were pretty shocked. But anyway sweet bean paste in pastry is really good, and seems to be popular in all of the Asia

UwU

Not when I was stocking them. People got sooooooooooooooooo mad that they couldn’t find the “beans”.

Beans, Beans, The magical fruit, The more you eat, The more you toot, The more you toot, The better you feel, So eat some beans with every meal!

England: “…and I took that personally.”

“british food” has come to mean “british food from ration times”, which is obviously going to result in it being dogshit because people had to stretch a hunk of ham over an entire week.

Always cracks me up when Americans diss British food. Many have no idea how many American staple foods originate from Britain, especially in the Midwest.

And traditional dishes like corned beef and cabbage. I love me some corned beef with lots of mustard. And cabbage, you can eat it by the head and it has so few calories plus it has lots of vit c and fiber. It is excellent diet food.

I think it’s more of a meme than real at this point. Most of the time when I see “British food”, I think it looks pretty good, even if it’s not flashy.

I mean, it’s the best thing available

There is great english food. It’s just that your average brit ain’t making it either. Ive been to Bournemouth on a school language program several times and we had amazing Yorkshire Pudding and more good stuff once. But we also had Microwaved raw Broccoli with soggy disgusting Pizza another time.

Also: You guys have an unhealthy obsession with vinegar.

I can taste how much butter you put in the dough

The UK has some of the best produce in the world. What the average person at home does is of course something else but that’s no different in a lot of countries.

As someone mentioned rationing didn’t help the image but also the drabness of industrial canned food in the brown seventies. And people just forgot how to cook.

Served raw with milk steak boiled over hard

Isn’t that just refried beans?

Beans (every flavour)

Grits are mostly a southern thing. That said, they are absolutely awful IMO. I’d sooner try British beans with my breakfast.

You can’t have Mexican food without hominy.

Wow it’s so beautiful I had to google Asturias to confirm it’s real.

Qué haces en Tus ratos libres?

this comment actually made me upset I’ve realized we’re halfway through December and I haven’t had tamales yet

I would try this if I weren’t a) a bad cook and b) terrified

Well you used spices and things with flavor, so it’s not very British.

And yet if a fancy restaurant does pea puree, people are all over it.

Mushy peas are made from a specific variety (marrowfat) that were selectively bred to be softer and have a nicer texture when pureed. People are just snobby about it, baked beans, and food like it because it’s working class food, without being fetishised ‘exotic’ working class food.
