At this point we salute the fallen.

The beans and sausage filled Findus Crispy Pancake.

Baked beans pizza? I'ma bout to change my position on England's tariffs...

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 8 hours ago

British tea is way better than our (US) tea, and that's a hill I will die on.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world -2 points 7 hours ago

True southern style sun tea will change your tune

[-] ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

It's biscuit and tea, you uncultured petal.

I still remember getting a Colin the Caterpillar cake for my 7th birthday

[-] nfamwap@feddit.uk 1 points 4 hours ago

I had one for my last birthday. I'm 45.

Come to think of it, it might have been the Aldi knock-off. Cuthbert, I think.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

I'm sick of people coming at Canada for Hawaiian pizza when the British are putting baked beans on their pies.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 13 hours ago

That’s not a pie.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Please tell me that Heinz Red Beans Pizza isn't a single label. It's just a trick of the light, right?

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 48 points 2 days ago

Excuse me but that isn't an official, original "Colin the Caterpillar" cake from Marks & Spencer, but an inferior and entirely unauthorised " Curly the Caterpillar" clone from Tesco.

As a proponent of fine British cuisine I take offence to this dire misrepresentation.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 14 points 2 days ago

Oh god you're right. I'm sorry I was blinded by the glory of the bean pizza and didn't notice

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Glory!?

It is a warcrime

These british cunts are trying to steal our fucken frogs!

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

They’re right though. There’s also Karamelo Koala over here.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's scottish but potato scones and square sausage is the best breakfast food ever.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

I'll add haggis to that breakfast food list.
Nothing better than a morning roll with bacon, haggis, square sausages and an egg.

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

Look, I visited Britain a few years ago and you guys had pie with fish in it, which seemed kinda unique, fish & chips with vinegar in a newspaper, shortbread, haggis and other non-dessert "puddings" and breakfast with sausages etc.. (Also, we went to an Indian restaurant in Britain and it was really good. Like world class good ngl.)

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

British “Indian” restaurants are genuinely S-tier. In Oz curries are too wet and they put cream in all of them regardless of the dish.

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Do other countries not have fish pies?

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 8 hours ago
[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 3 points 5 hours ago

That's a shame.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago

This meme is British people poking fun at ourselves.

Americans just recycle the same jokes from Reddit "lol conquered the world but doesn't use spice". From people who've never left their home town. You can ignore those.

The French also insult our food and they have more of a point but that's another matter and I'll personally fight them over it

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Pfft, what would the french know about good food, they probably don't even put cheese on their beans and toast

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 13 hours ago

The French had to get really good at sauce because they ate horse meat.

[-] Foreigner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

British cooking has a bad reputation, but they make really good comfort food. Sunday roast, yorkshire pudding, steak and ale pies, shepherd's/cottage pie, full english breakfast, pasties, fish pie, beef wellington, scones! I could go on. Sure it's mostly brown and beige food but cooked properly all of these dishes are really tasty!

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

beef wellington

Corn dogs for rich people

[-] three@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

It's puff pastry 'round a roast, not exactly made of gold.

British Curries are different than a lot of "authentic" indian curries, but they have become a thing in of them selves, over the years, and they are great.

[-] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

They should lock the whole country up for the baked beans pizza

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 15 points 2 days ago

Heinz is a US brand. You can blame them.

I'd like to try it though. Looks... interesting.

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago

I prefer to get a normal pizza and put my own baked beans with it.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago

Look at Gordon Ramsey over here, bet he serves it on a plate and everything

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Somehow this is such a Ken M response lol

I guess this is what the US thinks the UK likes, and the UK likes it enough for Heinz to keep manufacturing it and selling it in their country 😂
