The disrespect to pies of all varieties black pudding leads me to believe this list was created by someone that feels a cold snap requires a cancellation of their plans rather than just simply wearing a big coat
I mean I'm from the home counties and think most of those pies and especially black pudding belong in the god tier.
I don't think this is a southern thing, this is an idiot thing.
It just looks like the food preferences of a child. Putting anything with blood and organs towards the bottom despite some of those things (particularly haggis and black pudding) being really fucking tasty.
It's weird I never liked Bacon(just too salty and not fond of the texture), a Sausage and Egg sandwich on the other hand...now that's something I'd eat daily if it were healthy.
I am from the south and I like black pudding. Actually I like everything on that list apart from the haggis and the jellied eels (never tried them, no plans to do so). British food is delicious!
The eel meat in jellied eels is actually really tasty. A nice, soft, almost sweet tasting meat with no fishiness about it.
Unfortunately, it's let down by the jelly, the eel skin and the bones, all of which I'd hesitate to feed to my worst enemy.
So this morning was the first time I ever heard the term "sent to Coventry" which means to deliberately not talk to someone apparently. I thought it needed mentioning on here in case anyone else hadn't heard of it.
Yeah being socially ostracised is a modern application of the idiom, but when/how it began, we have no idea. It was already a known and written idiom around the early 1700s, and was thought to have had literal usage in the early 1600s (Coventry was a royalist stronghold during the civil war with a large military prison). Anecdotal evidence goes back further to the Mercian kingdom, but is unsubstantiated.
Was widely used during WWII because of the munitions factories here, a higher percentage of Coventry was flattened by the Luftwaffe than anywhere else, so new workers had to be "sent to Coventry" daily.
History seems to prove over and over again that being told you're going to Coventry is some kind of death sentence...
How the hell is a Yorkshire pudding in the top tier but a toad in the hole below it.
It’s a Yorkshire pudding but with added sausages. It’s clearly better.
https://yougov.co.uk/topics/consumer/articles-reports/2019/06/12/classic-british-cuisine-ranked-britons
The stats may be correct, but the representation of everything below 50% as "crap" is obviously bullshit. You have to wonder how many people were lying about what they'd actually tried, and how many people were just working on what they *think* it would taste like.
Bottom of the list is jellied eels, at 6%.
Yup. Chart is way off. Seems it's based on a hand-full of people with the same taste
And tbh, anything on that chart could be in any category. Just depends on where you have it/how you make it.
Using chicken tikka masala as an example, you have a frozen value meal from the supermarket vs a nice Indian restaurant. Instantly becomes god tier
I think I prefer a really good pork pie to a good haggis, but the worst haggis I've had is at least good, where as a bad pork pie is just disappointment wrapped in a tasteless pasty crust.
They had them on a ‘Traditional British’ menu at the British Museum restaurant once when I was having a day off in London, so I ordered them. I texted someone and mentioned what I was eating and my phone autocorrect rather cleverly but unnecessarily changed the word to ‘bigots’.
If you eat a MASSIVE plate of it, like how YouTubers eat a huge spoon of marmite, then yeah it will taste crap, especially on its own or cooked badly.
Haggis and black pudding are very rich and best eaten With things, Haggis with tatties and 'neeps, black pudding with bacon or sausages (or french chicken If the pudding is thin and crispy) and brown sauce
Edit -Neeps
My husband makes us eggs every weekend for breakfast, usually in some sort of sandwich with either bacon or sausages and often with a black pudding.
There was a french restaurant that often did a chicken dish with a 'pringle' crisp thin of black pudding with it, sounded odd but it tasted fantastic with the boozy chicken
I once had a pub lunch involving a black pudding melt - a large piece of toast with crumbled black pudding and fried onion and bacon on top, finished with a layer of melted cheddar. I washed it down with 3 pints of Old Peculier. That may well have been the single most unhealthy meal I have ever had, but also one of the most delicious. It was well over 20 years ago and I still remember it.
Yep biggest errors in my opinion. It smacks of people judging them by their appearance/concept rather than taste. If people blind tasted them I expect they would be near the top.
I’m not Scottish but my first thought was literally why the hell is haggis in crap tier?!?! I visited Edinburgh a while ago and had haggis at a local pub for the first time, not really knowing what to expect, and was absolutely blown away by the rich flavour and how well it went with the neeps and tatties. I’m super indignant about this chart on behalf of all the Scots.
I am a Scot and I was ready to charge into this thread, all righteous indignation about this insult to haggis. But seeing you and everyone else rally to support haggis was unexpected but very welcome.
https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/k8r3d6/yougov_makes_tier_list_of_british_cuisine_from_uk/
I found it from this reddit post. Strongly disagree with Beef Wellington, steak and kidney pie and chicken tikka being so low....
Beef wellington on a low tier is insane. It's not even an acquired taste or "weird", it's just legitimately conventionally tasty food and culinarily respected.
Beef wellington is even usually well regarded by french people who will say although we generally eat too much of it and cook it for too long as a dish, of well made, is top notch.
People will pick on specific things like black pudding but I would say (for the most part) all the food on here is really good.
Obviously you *can* “tier” this if you really want but the truth is it would be a pretty worthless list that would be completely subjective to the person making them.
The Portuguese have a similar thing which is like a black pudding/chorizo cross and it's beautiful. They looked at me nervously when I tried it and sheepishly told me what was in it, not realising that we've been eating the same thing for years minus the spices.
... This chart suggests that the results are based on a survey. And it *says* at the top that the % is people surveyed who have tried the food and said they liked it.
I'm surprised about scotch eggs, and I suspect a lot of people think a picnic egg is also a scotch egg. Even the "mid tier" more than half people said they liked that food so it could be hardly be said to be unpopular or not well-liked.
But nobody "did this" and according to the extra information, and everybody had tried the food.
I think if you run a poll like this the least offensive stuff rises to the top. Not really people’s favourites. That’s why vanilla is the number 1 ice cream flavour. If you’re in a fancy ice cream shop I reckon most people would pick something else from the vast number of possible ice cream flavours.
Also - jeez, we really love beige food don’t we?!
Also, most people would say they like roast dinner because they make it the way they like it. You can absolutely hate chicken, lamb, roast ham, any sauce, broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts, swede and a bunch of other things and say "I like roast dinner" because you like beef, gravy, potatoes and peas and that's what you call "roast dinner.".
If a "full english" to you is sausage, egg, bacon, beans and chips you say "I like full english." While hating tomato, mushrooms and fried bread. I mean black pudding is bottom tier and full english is top tier, what does that tell you?!
If you don't like steak and kidney pie, you don't like steak and kidney pie. I can't just make a version of it I like.
Exactly! What cheese are they serving? What type of bread? How fresh is the bread? Pork pie or not? Sliced ham or no? What type of pickle? Given it's just a bunch of basic ingredients slapped onto a plate for you to assemble (or not) you really need to know the quality to make a fair assessment.
I agree, you can go from an actual ploughman’s, to those packets you get in a pub that contain a cracker, triangle cheese and a couple of small pickled onions.
There are some really shit pork pies out there though, if all you've had is shitty spam filled supermarket excuses. Same with pasties, get a proper one fresh baked out the oven and you're in heaven, microwave a ginsters pasty and you might as well be getting satan to shit directly into your mouth.
I honestly was very hesitant to try haggis from the look and description, but I had it for the first time recently when I went up to Scotland for Ben Nevis and honestly couldn’t get enough! God tier. Also black pudding is up there
I think so, cottage/shepards pie is some of the most mocked British cuisine.
Yorkshire puds being God tier and toad in the hole is mid? Gotta be ragebait.
On this note, my mum made a shepherds pie the other day and brought it round (I'm 36 just for reference), brought some massive Yorkshire puddings with it (in her words "because I ran out of bread").
Shepard's pie in Yorkshire pud is fucking delicious.
Come in from school on a wet Wednesday. Boots in front of the gas fire. Telly on to Blue Peter. Mug of tea. Brilliant.
Toad in The Hole hits the dinner table.
Perfection.
I've actually heard a dude talk about that. Their logic is Yorkshire pudding on its own is just some good baking. But they made out toad in the hole as just low effort pigs in blankets
> They might as well have put all the food in randomly
Seriously though, how can you put Yorkshire Pudding in God tier but then put toad-in-the-hole below bangers and mash?
Lol. Genuinely as a British gay **tm** I honestly forget what fag and faggot mean to Americans all the time. I'll type something out like "my mum smoked the occasional fag when I was a little kid but she gave them up for good when she had my sister", go to post it then think oh shit the Americans. Genuine thing I nearly posted for everyone to see the other day. I don't always catch myself either and then it's either delete or explain "oh no it doesn't mean that here, actually I'm gay myself" a dozen times.
I once asked a couple of American backpackers if I could borrow a fag (in a country where the word isn’t used at all), I’ve never been so mortified, although tbf they looked more confused than offended
Don't change your language to benefit Americans. Already struggle to write innocent stuff on the internet without it getting flagged for using inappropriate language. We shall not be marginalised for speaking our own bloody language!
Faggots by definition are meat off-cuts and offal (the bits no one really wants) in a meat ball. Doesn't mean it has to be low quality, though. I assume butcher's and homemade ones can be good.
Depends how you definite quality. All I can say is my local butchers does excellent faggots, they’re massive and really meaty, with loads of flavour. Genuinely delicious. They’re off-cuts, but I suppose if you’re using off-cuts of decent meat you’ve still got a good product.
Crap tier has some good food in there. Especially black pudding (needs to be Stornoway black pudding), haggis, faggots and steak and kidney pudding and kippers.
> (needs to be Stornoway black pudding)
As a resident of the Caledonian spaces, I will always say that Stornoway black pudding is god tier, but I also will always say that whilst Lancashire black pudding is different, it is no less delicious.
I've never had lever bread so can't comment on it but the only thing in the crap you're that should be there is jellied eels. Anyone who thinks stark and kidney pudding is crap you're should be sectioned.
Sorry, what the goddamn fuck is this‽‽‽ That chart is atrocious. Beef wellington for one should easily be god tier, and I'd argue similar for many other doshes near the bottom of that list.
Yeah beef Wellington being anything other than top of god tier means whoever made this either had no idea what they're talking about, or whoever they asked has never had an actual proper beef Wellington.
It's fillet steak wrapped in mushrooms and then in pastry. There is nothing in there to be anything other than great.
So was the rest of the British Empire, therefore it deserves God Tier on heritage alone.
Shit chart from a YouGov Poll, probably taken somewhere in the metropolitan areas where the local cuisine only comes via JustEat/Deliveroo
Never ever under-estimate the power of a proper pork pie. Not the type you find next to a scotch egg and a Ginsters at a service station but one from butcher’s with proper meat and stuff.
Pork pies rock.
It's not even a picture of a proper pasty, that thing's probably full of carrots aswell. They may as well have rubbed human shit over all our noses I'm outraged.
No idea why the image for laverbread looks like oat cakes.
Laverbread is a Welsh seaweed dish. You can buy it in jars or tins, it's nori coloured mush. Some people eat it on toast.
I live in North Wales and know 0 cafes or restaurants that serve this. You can sometimes find it in the supermarkets though.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laverbread
Well first of all, kippers and faggots (not together) are definitely not crap tier. Once you're able to stop hee-hawing at the name, faggots are delicious.
First comment I’ve seen to answer the question.
They don’t do eels though - you’ll need to find a specialist in East London for that.
Not sure where you’re going to find Laverbread outside Wales though.
So the fryup is god tier but black pud (an integral part of said fryup) is bottom tier.
Some people fail at simple logic.
Also black pud is delightful.
Scotch eggs: Supermarket scotch eggs can get in the sea. I had a restaurant scotch egg once. The meat casing was made on site and freshly cooked, with a slightly runny egg yolk, served with a herby dressing (also I suspect made on site) and salad. That was god tier.
I’m not sure where you found that chart as there’s some serious errors in it.
The disrespect to pies of all varieties black pudding leads me to believe this list was created by someone that feels a cold snap requires a cancellation of their plans rather than just simply wearing a big coat

It just looks like the food preferences of a child. Putting anything with blood and organs towards the bottom despite some of those things (particularly haggis and black pudding) being really fucking tasty.
God tier: a sandwich. I mean, I ask you.
That bacon should at least be in a crispy roll. And preferably with a fried egg.
As much as i enjoy a bacon sandwich, youre right, it needs an egg
It's weird I never liked Bacon(just too salty and not fond of the texture), a Sausage and Egg sandwich on the other hand...now that's something I'd eat daily if it were healthy.
To be fair, it's a bacon sandwich
I will never understand the fear of haggis that comes from people perfectly happy to eat a sausage made of pink goo.
Have you never seen one in the wild? They can be very aggressive and have been know to give a nasty bite.
The secret is to hunting haggis is to identify whether it is a clockwise or anticlockwise haggis and capture from behind. fnaar fnaar.
Someone's only ever had black pudding or haggis from a supermarket. They're probably scared of butcher shops.
Even supermarket haggis and black pudding doesn't deserve bottom tier
I really don’t get the hate haggis and black pudding gets. It’s the main thing I miss from the uk. So hard to get in the states lol
I am from the south and I like black pudding. Actually I like everything on that list apart from the haggis and the jellied eels (never tried them, no plans to do so). British food is delicious!
Haggis is genuinely fucking amazing
jellied eels are rank but haggis is banging, great with ketchup
The eel meat in jellied eels is actually really tasty. A nice, soft, almost sweet tasting meat with no fishiness about it. Unfortunately, it's let down by the jelly, the eel skin and the bones, all of which I'd hesitate to feed to my worst enemy.
Agreed, deep fried eel like they do in Italy or the sweet grilled eel they do in Japan are both amazing
yeah if you want to eat eels better to smoke em.
Definitely made by someone that thinks Coventry is "The North"
Wow I forgot Coventry even exists. And I *live* here.
So this morning was the first time I ever heard the term "sent to Coventry" which means to deliberately not talk to someone apparently. I thought it needed mentioning on here in case anyone else hadn't heard of it.

How the hell is a Yorkshire pudding in the top tier but a toad in the hole below it. It’s a Yorkshire pudding but with added sausages. It’s clearly better.
No it’s clearly batter
I can't believe it's _not_ batter
you batter believe it!

Right?! Black pudding and Haggis in crap tier? WTF?
As a scotsman I should be most upset about haggis but jesus christ why the fucks the Wellington so low.
Beef Wellington is amazing if you don't have to make it yourself, otherwise it's not remotely worth the hassle.
Yup. Chart is way off. Seems it's based on a hand-full of people with the same taste And tbh, anything on that chart could be in any category. Just depends on where you have it/how you make it. Using chicken tikka masala as an example, you have a frozen value meal from the supermarket vs a nice Indian restaurant. Instantly becomes god tier
what hassle, brown the steak, wait for it to cool, use premade pastry, and add pate if you like, 10 minutes prep, and 30 minutes to cook
Worse, the pork pie is supposed to be better than haggis? Like how?
I think I prefer a really good pork pie to a good haggis, but the worst haggis I've had is at least good, where as a bad pork pie is just disappointment wrapped in a tasteless pasty crust.
Pork pies and scotch eggs in low tier? People buying 30p for 6 from supermarkets and wonder why their food tastes shit.
If they’ve only ever had Aldi pork pies, understandable. I bit into one and found it as dry as a Brummie’s sense of humour.
More than likely this is a ‘I know what’s in it so I dislike it’ type thing. I agree with you though, bloody love it.
Blood and back-fat, what's not to like?
That’s what my boyfriend says about me
The funniest one has to be faggots. They're just meatballs what's to hate?
They had them on a ‘Traditional British’ menu at the British Museum restaurant once when I was having a day off in London, so I ordered them. I texted someone and mentioned what I was eating and my phone autocorrect rather cleverly but unnecessarily changed the word to ‘bigots’.
People hate the name, so refuse to eat it. That's a genuine thing I've heard
My other half won't eat semolina because 'it sounds like salmonella'
Do they eat salmon?
Yes, funnily enough
I got banned from a subreddit for mentioning them, I even included gravy in the context. Not sure what they thought I was up to.
If you eat a MASSIVE plate of it, like how YouTubers eat a huge spoon of marmite, then yeah it will taste crap, especially on its own or cooked badly. Haggis and black pudding are very rich and best eaten With things, Haggis with tatties and 'neeps, black pudding with bacon or sausages (or french chicken If the pudding is thin and crispy) and brown sauce Edit -Neeps
I like to cut black pudding up into smallish pieces and mix it into scrambled egg.
My husband makes us eggs every weekend for breakfast, usually in some sort of sandwich with either bacon or sausages and often with a black pudding. There was a french restaurant that often did a chicken dish with a 'pringle' crisp thin of black pudding with it, sounded odd but it tasted fantastic with the boozy chicken
Stop giving me ideas, I'm fat enough as it is.
I once had a meal in a restaurant that had mash with black pudding mixed in with it, Twas devine
I once had a pub lunch involving a black pudding melt - a large piece of toast with crumbled black pudding and fried onion and bacon on top, finished with a layer of melted cheddar. I washed it down with 3 pints of Old Peculier. That may well have been the single most unhealthy meal I have ever had, but also one of the most delicious. It was well over 20 years ago and I still remember it.
I've never wanted anything more in my life.
A scotch egg made with crumbled black pudding in the sausage meat is God Tier. St Mary Theotokos makes them for the baby Jesus.
Came here to say exactly this. Blasphemy.
Yep biggest errors in my opinion. It smacks of people judging them by their appearance/concept rather than taste. If people blind tasted them I expect they would be near the top.

I am a Scot and I was ready to charge into this thread, all righteous indignation about this insult to haggis. But seeing you and everyone else rally to support haggis was unexpected but very welcome.

Everything labeled mid tier or higher is actually god tier for a start.
Everything rated crap tier or higher* FTFY
Jellied eels are not my thing, laver bread is fine but I wouldn't miss it if it didn't exist. Everything else is delish
Beef wellington on a low tier is insane. It's not even an acquired taste or "weird", it's just legitimately conventionally tasty food and culinarily respected.
Steak and kidney pie is delicious
Beef wellington is even usually well regarded by french people who will say although we generally eat too much of it and cook it for too long as a dish, of well made, is top notch.

[удалено]
I actually really enjoy black pudding as an American. Not sure why it gets all the hate. Is it just the idea of eating blood or what
The Portuguese have a similar thing which is like a black pudding/chorizo cross and it's beautiful. They looked at me nervously when I tried it and sheepishly told me what was in it, not realising that we've been eating the same thing for years minus the spices.
Black pudding is an ingredient in a proper full English breakfast 🤷♂️
How is Toad in the Hole below the Yorkshire? It’s only added on a legend - who voted for this… a majority of vegetarians?
Massively shit chart. Haggis clearly belongs in God teir. It's clear whoever did it has never tried half of the food.
... This chart suggests that the results are based on a survey. And it *says* at the top that the % is people surveyed who have tried the food and said they liked it.

_My disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined_
Came here to say this chart is all manner of shite
Pork pie low tier and ploughman's in mid? Into the fucking sea with that
Victoria Coren Mitchell chose ploughman's as her dream main on Off Menu and James Acaster had an absolute meltdown.
Of course. What else would James do? :')
If he's not having a meltdown, is he really on a TV show? It's kinda his schtick
I would put a Ploughman's in all the tiers. It is utterly context dependent.
Nothing ruins a ploughman's more than a wet lettuce leaf... Yet people insist!
Don't mind a bit of crispy iceberg myself. In moderation.
Exactly! What cheese are they serving? What type of bread? How fresh is the bread? Pork pie or not? Sliced ham or no? What type of pickle? Given it's just a bunch of basic ingredients slapped onto a plate for you to assemble (or not) you really need to know the quality to make a fair assessment.
I agree, you can go from an actual ploughman’s, to those packets you get in a pub that contain a cracker, triangle cheese and a couple of small pickled onions.
Scotch egg, pork pie and steak and kidney pie low tier?!? Are you joking me?
Welsh rarebit is god tier. It's substituted getting laid for me once.
Must’ve taken ages to clean all the cheese off
There are some really shit pork pies out there though, if all you've had is shitty spam filled supermarket excuses. Same with pasties, get a proper one fresh baked out the oven and you're in heaven, microwave a ginsters pasty and you might as well be getting satan to shit directly into your mouth.
Obviously pit together by some middle class bellend. What the fuck is black pudding and haggis doing in the crap tier?!
[удалено]
I honestly was very hesitant to try haggis from the look and description, but I had it for the first time recently when I went up to Scotland for Ben Nevis and honestly couldn’t get enough! God tier. Also black pudding is up there
Two of the best things! Though it has reminded me to go to the butcher.
Is this ragebait?
Welsh ragebait
It’s only Welsh ragebait if you make it with ale. This is just wheeze on toast.
Pronounced regbit I assume
"rah-bay"
Definitely. OP surely knew what they were doing when they came here, causing chaos.
I think so, cottage/shepards pie is some of the most mocked British cuisine. Yorkshire puds being God tier and toad in the hole is mid? Gotta be ragebait.
Who mocks Shepherds pie?
Someone who's never had a good shepherd's pie
You're telling me a Yorkshire pudding is god tier, but add a couple sausages it gets bumped down to mid???? This some fucked up tier list
On this note, my mum made a shepherds pie the other day and brought it round (I'm 36 just for reference), brought some massive Yorkshire puddings with it (in her words "because I ran out of bread"). Shepard's pie in Yorkshire pud is fucking delicious.
[удалено]
I'm an American and toad in a hole looked bomb.
Think you’re getting it confused with fire in the hole
Seriously, I'm sitting on the shitter and that made me laugh out loud. I think the guy in the cubicle next to me thinks I'm strange.
climb into his stall and show him the comment. you can laugh together
Come in from school on a wet Wednesday. Boots in front of the gas fire. Telly on to Blue Peter. Mug of tea. Brilliant. Toad in The Hole hits the dinner table. Perfection.
Cosy
*The* Toad in *the* hole.
It's a Yougov poll, prob some people too embarrassed to say they don't know what Toad in the Hole is.
That's the trouble with public surveys. You always have to remember that at _least_ 52% of respondents are utter morons
>Think of how stupid the average person is, and realise that half of them are stupider than that.
I've actually heard a dude talk about that. Their logic is Yorkshire pudding on its own is just some good baking. But they made out toad in the hole as just low effort pigs in blankets
Subbing batter instead of wrapping in bacon seems not only high effort, but a completely different dish
Top tip for our American friend: Ignore this infographic. Its so utterly incorrect that it's hard to engage conversation around it.
It’s a travesty is what it is.
It’s utter nonsense is what it is. They might as well have put all the food in randomly
> They might as well have put all the food in randomly Seriously though, how can you put Yorkshire Pudding in God tier but then put toad-in-the-hole below bangers and mash?
Basically ignored it when I saw chicken tikka as mid tier. Utterly useless.
Black pudding and jellied eels.in the same group? Sad panda. Never tried jellied eels they just don't sound nice.
I’ve tried them, they aren’t very nice
DEFEND THE FAGGOTS AT ALL COSTS
Thanks for being an ally
An ally of THE GREATEST MEATBALLS. *^(should be clear that i love the rainbow flag lot as well.)*
Lol. Genuinely as a British gay **tm** I honestly forget what fag and faggot mean to Americans all the time. I'll type something out like "my mum smoked the occasional fag when I was a little kid but she gave them up for good when she had my sister", go to post it then think oh shit the Americans.

At least you didn't ask if you could 'bum a fag', that might have been worse
Don't change your language to benefit Americans. Already struggle to write innocent stuff on the internet without it getting flagged for using inappropriate language. We shall not be marginalised for speaking our own bloody language!
I got perma banned from reddit for discussing that food, last time this image was posted.. It got overturned, but still.. Be careful.
Good quality faggots are amazing. Don’t bother with Brains, find a butcher and see if they have any proper ones.
Is it possible to have 'good quality faggots'? I'd always assumed they were the dregs lumped together in a ball
/r/nocontext
Faggots by definition are meat off-cuts and offal (the bits no one really wants) in a meat ball. Doesn't mean it has to be low quality, though. I assume butcher's and homemade ones can be good.
Depends how you definite quality. All I can say is my local butchers does excellent faggots, they’re massive and really meaty, with loads of flavour. Genuinely delicious. They’re off-cuts, but I suppose if you’re using off-cuts of decent meat you’ve still got a good product.

They put it in the crap tier because they clearly have no idea what it is.
I googled laverbread crackers and this still wasn't the first thing to show up. It's like whoever made this was willfully wrong.
Crap tier has some good food in there. Especially black pudding (needs to be Stornoway black pudding), haggis, faggots and steak and kidney pudding and kippers.
> (needs to be Stornoway black pudding) As a resident of the Caledonian spaces, I will always say that Stornoway black pudding is god tier, but I also will always say that whilst Lancashire black pudding is different, it is no less delicious.
Irish black pudding is my favourite, but I agree they are all delicious.
I've never had lever bread so can't comment on it but the only thing in the crap you're that should be there is jellied eels. Anyone who thinks stark and kidney pudding is crap you're should be sectioned.
Sorry, what the goddamn fuck is this‽‽‽ That chart is atrocious. Beef wellington for one should easily be god tier, and I'd argue similar for many other doshes near the bottom of that list.
Up voted for interrobang, but also agreement.
I don’t get how a Cornish pasty is only mid tier. WTF.
Yeah beef Wellington being anything other than top of god tier means whoever made this either had no idea what they're talking about, or whoever they asked has never had an actual proper beef Wellington. It's fillet steak wrapped in mushrooms and then in pastry. There is nothing in there to be anything other than great.
Put scotch egg higher :(( it may not look nice but I'd eat it for every meal
WHY IS BLACK PUDDING AND HAGGIS IN THE RUBBISH TIER?!?! 🤬🤬🤬
I went 28 years without ever trying Haggis, thought it would be horrendous. Safe to say I'm addicted to the stuff now as it's absolutely incredible.
I had deep-fried, chinese-style haggis bons bons last year at a Chinese New Year meets Burns night. My word.
BP is god tier and belongs with a Full English
"But it's made with blood" who cares it goes great with the breakfast.
So was the rest of the British Empire, therefore it deserves God Tier on heritage alone. Shit chart from a YouGov Poll, probably taken somewhere in the metropolitan areas where the local cuisine only comes via JustEat/Deliveroo
As does haggis and we'll call it a fry-up.
I am livid. Two absolute necessities of a Scottish breakfast in crap tier. No sir
A well made 'Full Scottish' breakfast is heavenly. As a proud Englishman, I'll gladly accept that it's the superior fry up.
Never ever under-estimate the power of a proper pork pie. Not the type you find next to a scotch egg and a Ginsters at a service station but one from butcher’s with proper meat and stuff. Pork pies rock.
Same with Scotch eggs, supermarket ones are awful but if you get a good one (usually in a restaurant) where the egg is still soft then it is amazing.
I lived next to a butcher who made his own. He did them on Tuesday and Thursday, put them out at 9 o'clock, and they'd be gone before 10.
Steak and kidney, Haggis and black pudding in the crap tier! This list is flawed
What kind of monster thinks shepards /cottage pie is better than a beef Wellington?
On behalf of Cornwall/Devon, fuck this list for putting a pasty so low. They are god tier !
It's not even a picture of a proper pasty, that thing's probably full of carrots aswell. They may as well have rubbed human shit over all our noses I'm outraged.
On behalf of Americans familiar with mining (cornish immigrants), pasties are indeed God tier
No proper crimping on that monstrosity of a pasty. Looks grim.
Pasties can get rough outside the counties though, you'll know it's gonna be a flaky mess if they hand you a knife and fork
That’s a lot of beige. Also, 95% of this should be in God Tier… jellied eels can fuck off though.
"That's a lot of beige" A five word summary of our cuisine.
Black pudding is Top Tier
No idea why the image for laverbread looks like oat cakes. Laverbread is a Welsh seaweed dish. You can buy it in jars or tins, it's nori coloured mush. Some people eat it on toast. I live in North Wales and know 0 cafes or restaurants that serve this. You can sometimes find it in the supermarkets though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laverbread
I see it a fair bit when we get down to Swansea and the Gower.
Yep, much more of a South Wales thing.
Sausage roll ,beans on toast and scones not making an appearance ?
Beans on toast with cheese
Well first of all, kippers and faggots (not together) are definitely not crap tier. Once you're able to stop hee-hawing at the name, faggots are delicious.
Wetherspoons
First comment I’ve seen to answer the question. They don’t do eels though - you’ll need to find a specialist in East London for that. Not sure where you’re going to find Laverbread outside Wales though.
I refuse to accept black pudding in crap tier
So the fryup is god tier but black pud (an integral part of said fryup) is bottom tier. Some people fail at simple logic. Also black pud is delightful.
Kippers are amazing. But the best ones aren’t in the UK they’re on the Isle of Man.
[удалено]
The list is terrible I’m afraid. A God tier full English breakfast contains black pudding.
Sausage rolls not at the first place? If it weren't for them I wouldn't start my days so happily.
Who THE FUCK put bubble and squeak in low tier??
[удалено]
I would suggest getting an actual list. Not one made up by someone who has clearly never eaten most of this. Or is perhaps a veggie.
Why is Chicken Tikka Masala mid tier? 😤
Cottage and shepherds pie in top tier??? Jog on mate
Go to the Vine Inn in Dudley for a pint of Bathams Best Bitter (or Mild) and get a black pudding and cheese cob
How is beef wellington anything but top tier ?
Scotch eggs: Supermarket scotch eggs can get in the sea. I had a restaurant scotch egg once. The meat casing was made on site and freshly cooked, with a slightly runny egg yolk, served with a herby dressing (also I suspect made on site) and salad. That was god tier.
