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.

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 4 points 1 week ago

Glory!?

It is a warcrime

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.)

[-] Foreigner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week 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!

beef wellington

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

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.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week 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.

[-] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They have curry in Oz? Idk how I missed that part of the movie

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

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 16 points 1 week ago

Heinz is a US brand. You can blame them.

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

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago

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

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Somehow this is such a Ken M response lol

[-] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

It's great that you acknowledge that beans on a pizza is in fact not normal

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

Not normal for a pizza to come with beans included, no. More normal to provide your own beans.

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 😂

A long, long time ago when I worked somewhere that briefly made Fridays optional over time days, on a Friday we’d order breakfast to work sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and beans on something baguette like was very common. The old adage applies …”don’t knock it until you’ve tried it”.

I haven’t had beans on pizza. I’ve probably had worse though.

I guess I should have spoken to them in their language.

Here's half a cup of corn syrup.

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

Say no more. I already know it's inedible.

Hold on Uncle Rodger... He tried to get them banned, therefore logic dictates that they're actually pretty good!

From Turkey or is it at least made of actual Turkey?

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Low quality turkey (animal) meat, mashed up and mixed with rusk, water, other low quality "meats" (offal, ears, pig trotters, bumholes etc) and an array of flavourings and sweeteners and reconstituted into a helical shape and coated with breadcrumbs and oven baked.

Basically the same as any other easily affordable breaded, reconstituted meat product, except it's in a helix instead of a sausage or burger pattie shape.

I've never had one, but they're probably delicious.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

bumholes

For true, British tastebuds. Yummy.
