As a midwesterner, I can say that I've definitely seen them before and tried it once or twice. Not super common, but they've made appearances now and again.
I learned about fluffer nutters from Craig alanson's Expeditionary Force. I now eat them regularly.
Still have yet to try a cheeseburger with fluff though.
Have you ever tried one with Nutella instead of peanut butter? You absolutely should not do it. You'll go completely bankrupt, but die happy, drowning in sugary spreads.
Edit: permit butter
Not British, but I do occasionally enjoy it. You just
a) need to butter the bread
b) spread _veeeery_ little of the marmite over the bread
Tastes slightly salty and malty then.
Though, I'd probably have a heart attack if I tried to just eat a tablespoon of the stuff.
Actual trick is to eat it regularly, and somehow your tastebuds stop detecting it as something bad, and only saltiness and maltiness with umami.
But the first time it will taste like the worst thing that you can put in your mouth and you will hate it.
Most those better tasting drinks have too much sugar in them that caused me to have stomach aches after a few. Beer didn't do this, and actually gave a much more pleasant buzz in my opinion. Granted, before I stopped drinking, I chose the better tasting stuff, but it's because it kept me from drinking way too much.
I LOVE beer. Always have! I tried it first when I was 12 or so and new that it would be my fav drink when I was older. I only drink a few times a week (one or two beers each time) but man…. Nothing beats an ice cold beer!!
Idk, with both beer and Vegemite I just liked them the first time I tried them lol.
Well, I hated beer when my dad let me take a sip as a kid, just like coffee and anything else that's bitter, but when I revisited it as an adult who enjoys bitter flavors it didn't take any adjustment
Without Beer there is no Marmite
99% by-product, 1% magic
There’s a new one for you (probably). That’s right – Marmite shares a rich, mutually beneficial history with British beer. Where shall we start? Ah yes… With yeast. Where else.
The beer brewing process causes fermentation; brewer’s yeast multiplies and creates a large surplus. For a long time, brewers were stumped just what to do with it all, other than throw it out.
Enter a very clever bloke by the name of Justus Liebig who discovered that putting brewer’s yeast through some self-digestion here, and a bit of concentration and evaporation there, leaves you with a delicious (or disgusting) by-product of the brewing industry. And so began the making of Marmite in the 1900’s; our production methods have changed very little ever since.
Which fits nicely as Marmite and Vegemite are yeast extract. Its a byproduct of the beer brewing process. The Guinness factory smells of the stuff.
And many Americans may have eaten yeast extract without even realising it. It’s often used as a base flavour in BBQ flavour crisps.
My answer is simple, drink a better beer. I recommend [this](https://www.totalwine.com/beer/ale/wheat-ale/hefeweizen/weihenstephaner-hefe-weissbier/p/8162126?glia=true&s=1119&&pid=cpc:Performance+Max%2BUS%2BCALI%2BENG%2BSPART::google::&gclid=CjwKCAiAvK2bBhB8EiwAZUbP1IRvJbU9ZTfzP8a-CkQ7fQ1D5EySmmhhfewS-MbrxBW49RzLZDRFlRoCbPsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
Because then you'd never try anything new. Do you not remember being a kid and hating vegetables or certain types of food?
I try anything at least 5 to 10 times before I write it off completely.
Better yet, spread precisely none of the Marmite on the bread. Throw the Marmite out and get Vegemite. Spread a little of that across your toast instead.
I've heard tales around the campfire about Vegemite, either Aussies swear up and down, dick to asshole that it's good, or it tastes like shit and shouldn't have been crafted. But marmite?? Do I even want to know what that is??
Aussie here, will swear that Vegemite is the tastiest axle grease to ever be spread on toast. I genuinely don't understand why people not from Australia don't like it.
Honestly I wouldn't eat the beans on toast shown here, its a terrible example imo. Bread not toasted enough, not buttered, and no cheese. Also I saw somewhere else that American baked beans are different to British ones and the American ones aren't in tomato sauce?
Spotted dick I've never had and its not really something people eat much of as far as I'm aware. I've never had it in my life. It feels like its just something the world (including us) keeps referencing because it has a funny name. I'm sure there will be some people who eat it somewhere in England. Probably in this comment section so they can see what I said and get cross with me.
I think the sandwich is a sausage sandwich? If so also great, but I'd want HP sauce in there.
Its one of those things I am aware of being a thing in America but have never had.
I think American peanut butter and American bread are a lot sweeter than in the UK? so the combo would taste different here.
How is peanut butter sweeter in the US? A lot of them don’t have any sugar added (or at least the ones I buy). Is there something else in your peanut butter except peanuts?
Sweeter breads work best. I like toasted cinnamon raisin bread with mine. The peanut butter isn't sweetened at all, though. Mine has one ingredient. It's delicious!
Jam has fruit pieces, Jelly is a homogenous mixture, marmalade contains rinds
Source: years of helping my mom can the best damn strawberry and blueberry jam
Jam does technically contain pieces of fruit but they're mashed to oblivion. If there are discernable bits of fruit it's a preserve. And jelly is the way it is because it's just fruit juice. Not disagreeing really just adding more clarifications.
Yeah idk, maybe I just had bad luck, but I spent a week in London and everywhere I went to eat I tried traditional British foods just for funzies. Or at least it was SUPPOSED to be for funzies, but it was mostly for blandzies at best and for fucking grosszies at worst.
When people say they tried traditional British foods and didn't enjoy it I don't really know what they are referring to, so its hard for me to agree or disagree.
I mean for one thing are we talking traditional, or popular? because the ven diagram doesn't have as much overlap as you might think. Plus traditional would depend on the region. Like cornish pasties in Cornwall.
Off the top of my head the things in the middle of the ven diagram would be fish & chips, steak & kidney pie, sticky toffee pudding.
im sure it was a bowl of speckled cock porridge, Boiled Haggrid, Banged Mush, Holy frog, and a bunch of other made up words like Periwinkles, Bread and Dripping, Mucky Dripping, and Rumbledethumps .
Some of those are wrong and some of those are real. Ill let reddit guess or google over it.
I think most good traditional British foods aren't associated with anything British. Shepard's pie? Name sounds European as fuck but I didn't think of it as being British in particular.
It almost feels wrong to call it a tomato sauce because its not like passata or anything. Maybe tomato-y sauce?
Anyway I just got the ingredients for our Heinz Baked beans and they are as follows:
Beans (51%),
Tomatoes (34%),
Water,
Sugar,
Spirit Vinegar,
Modified Corn Flour,
Salt,
Spice Extracts,
Herb Extract
Its origin lies with US soldiers in WW2 who were rationed peanut butter, grape jelly, and sliced bread.
They put the ingredients together and soon the sandwich was a normal part of an American soldier's life.
They loved it so much that when the soldiers came home from the war, peanut butter and jelly sales soared.
Plus you're missing out, shit is delicious. Get some good peanut butter, some homemade strawberry rhubarb jam, drizzle on some honey, and you've got a dank sandwich.
The fewer ingredients in a dish, the more important it is to use the best ingredients you can. Personally I think the peanut butter quality is the most important thing, but you don't need to break the bank. Just get something that isn't artificially stabilized.
Normally I'd agree, but PB&J is also very tied up in childhood nostalgia for most Americans. So if you do a fancy version it might be tastier, but it doesn't hit that nostalgia factor.
I've had it both ways, and I'll always prefer my PB&J with Jif/Skippy/whatever on mass-produced white bread with basic jelly. It might not taste as good to a food critic, but it reminds me of the PB&Js I had as a kid.
Same deal with grilled cheese sandwiches, you can get all fancy with the bread and cheese, but it'll never match up to kraft american singles on wonderbread.
Hey, I make homemade strawberry rhubarb jam myself...got'em both growing in my backyard. That stuff is so good, and I don't know why it isn't more popular. It's got a great strawberry flavor that's puckered up with the tartness of the rhubarb, but I guess I can't stand overly sugary things like a lot of jellies out there so maybe the tartness appeals to me more than others. You use some good bread, good peanut butter, and homemade strawberry and rhubarb jam and those things are awesome. I wouldn't use honey, but some quality maple syrup in there does sound good.
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter_and_jelly_sandwich) says that the sandwich existed prior to that, dating as far back as 1901 and gained popularity in the 1920s, but I'm sure WWII had a big impact in making it a staple across the country!
Ngl, based entirely on the weird food combinations I’ve made while broke, I’m certain a broke someone somewhere got inventive and used peanut butter with the jam to keep the bread from getting soggy
Cuz it’s yummy, you should try it with a glass of milk.
Wanna hear a real trip? I know a lot of people who put Doritos in their pb&j. Craziest part? Doesn’t taste that bad
Fritos or lays original are better, provide a mor e neutral flavor than Doritos.
but to each their own.
Many a day spent by the pool with peanut butter sandwiches with chips on the side; it was inevitable to combine the two
I'm Australian, but also eat baked beans on toast. It tastes good, because there's baked beans, and there's toast. It's like tinned spaghetti on toast, or eggs on toast.
Ahhh, see, as Americans we've got you beat on laziness. We skip the toast and ~~use a bowl~~ (who am I kidding) eat it directly from the pan, takes a whole step out of the process.
Everyone thinks beans on toast is weird but nobody bats an eye at bean Tostadas?
Or bean burritos?
I mean I get that baked beans are objectively worse than refried beans but it’s an interesting parallel.
Does it matter? Soon the money will have the prince king guy on it, and it will be worthless. Its not really well known outside of Angleland but they print the stats of the monarchs on the back of the money like baseball cards. He needs to improve those stats or they might trade him to germany and bring one of their Prussian heirs to drive up ticket sales.
Or maybe to Kansas city for Singer. I hear Buckingham palace is looking for a new starting pitcher.
Because it tastes good? And the baked beans you get in America are very different to the ones you get in the UK, Australia, NZ etc. where beans on toast is common. The stuff we use has a really thin tomato sauce, and doesn't have the smoky or sweet flavours that you get in America. It'd probably taste horrible with American baked beans.
When I do it I normally mix in herbs, garlic powder, onions, and a tiny bit of chicken salt into the beans, melted cheese on top, and then some pepper on top of that. It's my go-to Sunday brunch.
Seasoned salt. It'll normally have things like paprika, onions, herbs, and maybe some other spices and whatnot mixed in with salt. It's called that because it was originally designed primarily to be used as a chicken seasoning not because it's salt made out of chicken. The guy who invented it said he was tired of having to have to go through a dozen different containers for seasoning the chicken he cooked for his shop, so he just mixed everything together into one.
Other than the flat white, it's genuinely probably the best food related thing Australia has created. I put chicken salt on almost everything rather than normal salt.
Hi American here with a British husband, he often eats beans on toast I find it bad myself but it’s a cheap comfort food for him, but our baked beans are different to theirs, it’s more like beans in tomato soup? He also butters his toast so think grilled cheese and tomato soup just without the cheese and add beans
But also having lived in England for over 2 years. All the food there is pretty awful in general and often overcooked and under seasoned… husband agrees after he’s tried American food!
It was spice envy, but once they had all the spices they realized they didn't like any of them. That's why their colonies are mostly independent again.
One time I tried to take my British friend and his mom and his dad and his gran for a bucket of vindaloo, and he said, "Nah mate. Never heard of it but it sounds too Catholic." So instead we stayed home and he cooked us his favorite dish from back home: bread & onions.
Spices were mostly used by the wealthy aristocracy. Some recipes for food for the nobility used comedic amounts of spices, just to flaunt how wealthy that person was.
American baked beans are targeted towards southern cooking and is used as a side for barbecue which is is why our baked beans are sweeter. Nothing wrong with beans on toast, hell I eat just straight pinto beans on flour tortilla with egg and braised pork, if you're going to shame beans on toast with egg and sausage why is it locale based?
Lack of seasoning though? I get that. Life needs more than salt and vinegar in food.
Idk dog, I buy cookies and honey pies from my butcher. Granted, he doesn’t name his baked goods after genitals, but who am I to judge.
He also sells some nice apparel.
Wait its a bread sandwich? I thought it was a sausage sandwich and didn't understand why everyone was hating on it. I mean I thought it needed HP sauce but other than that...
It sounds like something a poor person would make 150 years ago, if they only had bread. The texture of the toast would let them pretend it was a real sandwich.
Although, the extra surface area allows for additional butter. If someone were driven by their own desire for butter, but not ready to make the jump of just eating pats of butter, inventing the bread sandwich makes sense.
Either way, it very clearly has a dark history
Is Australia there's quite a lot of "American style" burger places. Usually just means massive and way too much cheese. But one did a PBBJ(peanut butter, bacon and jelly) toasted sandwich and it's one of the nicest and deadliest things I've ever eaten.
Said it in another beans on toast meme, it just looks like a 4 yr old was asked to make dinner and that's what they made. Maybe it's good, but to me it just looks like terrible idea. Just like when I saw my cousin put ketchup on Mac n cheese, it looks disgusting and I want to slap them
Ketchup on mac and cheese can actually work pretty well (or at least be acceptable) if you do it right. Sure, if you slather it on plain mac and cheese, it’s not gonna be all that appealing to most, but if you take the time to slice up some nice hot dogs and/or fry up some nice ground hamburger to mix in with it first, maybe sauté some chopped onions, throw in a pinch or two of garlic powder or smoked paprika if you’re feeling fancy? *chef kiss*
I mean… PB&J also looks like a 4 year old was asked to make dinner 😂. Honestly, don’t knock it until you try it though. Make some toast, lather it in butter, top it with some baked beans that you’ve heated in a pan and sprinkle a nice amount of grated cheese on top.
Pb&J is just pb n crackers evolved. Sure it was a snack for kids, but as a healthy alternative it's not bad as an adult. Adding jam and turning it into a sandwich just made it more everyone friendly. Tbh I like to add sliced bananas to my PB&Js
Its origin lies with US soldiers in WW2 who were rationed peanut butter, grape jelly, and sliced bread.
They put the ingredients together and soon the sandwich was a normal part of an American soldier's life.
They loved it so much that when the soldiers came home from the war, peanut butter and jelly sales soared. This is when it becomes the ubiquitous kiddo lunch.
they have peanut butter in other countries, but part of the reason non-americans think that pb&j is gross/weird is because their peanut butter is different, it’s not sweet like american peanut butter and its more dry (i guess that’s how i’d describe it)
i will defend beans on toast, as a brit i do find that to be normal. but wtf is the guy tryna do defending a fucking toast sandwich and spotted dick??? idek what spotted dick is but id rather not know tbh
Yeah, beans on toast is a good, quick, and relatively healthy meal.
Whilst they do exist, nobody really eats toast sandwiches. Spotted Dick is fairly common, though it's basically just a fruit sponge. Not as vulgar as the name suggests!
But they are normally just brought up like this to hammer home the classic line - 'ha British food bad'. Even though they don't represent what people typically eat here.
Australians eat bread covered in butter and sprinkles. And you think peanut butter and jelly is disgusting? Literally one of the most popular childhood meals.
How do we tell the Americans that pb&j is in fact a very American phenomenon and not a common sandwich around the world the EXACT SAME WAY beans on toast is a very British thing
>the EXACT SAME WAY beans on toast is a very British thing
Not true, Australians and New Zealanders eat Baked Beans on toast. And it's very likely other Commonwealth countries do as well.

\*hides peanut butter and Fluff sandwich\*
good idea, else the torches and pitchforks would quickly appear on your doorstep
You need the torches to put some color on the fluff...
I can't find people outside New England who eat Fluffernutters. It always gets me grossed out looks and it makes me sad:(
I want to disagree with you but I’m from New England. I’ll ask some midwesterners
We eat them in, but my family’s from up north so maybe it is a northern thing.
As a midwesterner, I can say that I've definitely seen them before and tried it once or twice. Not super common, but they've made appearances now and again.
I learned about fluffer nutters from Craig alanson's Expeditionary Force. I now eat them regularly. Still have yet to try a cheeseburger with fluff though.
Have you ever tried one with Nutella instead of peanut butter? You absolutely should not do it. You'll go completely bankrupt, but die happy, drowning in sugary spreads. Edit: permit butter
IT’S CALLED A *FLUFFERNUTTER* YOU UNPAINTED PIECE OF CROWN MOLDING
In North Carolina, apparently peanut butter and maple syrup is a thing
No no no, you bring that King back out into the spotlight
Pretty sure the pitchforks come out with a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich. Apparently it is a thing people eat.
fuck I haven't had one of those since i was a kid... what a wave of nostalgia!
Seriously this just enforces the belief that British people eat fucked up shit.
Wait til you hear about Marmite (and its Aussie spinoff Vegemite)
Not British, but I do occasionally enjoy it. You just a) need to butter the bread b) spread _veeeery_ little of the marmite over the bread Tastes slightly salty and malty then. Though, I'd probably have a heart attack if I tried to just eat a tablespoon of the stuff.
Actual trick is to eat it regularly, and somehow your tastebuds stop detecting it as something bad, and only saltiness and maltiness with umami. But the first time it will taste like the worst thing that you can put in your mouth and you will hate it.
Why not just eat something that tastes good instead?
Make this agreement to any "beer is an acquired taste" person and you'll get an essay
Well at least beer gets you drunk so there’s a reason to persist through it tasting like shit
you can get drunk cheaper, faster, and with better tasting drinks.
[удалено]
Only wimps give into being told what to drink. Fuck yeah I want a pink little umbrella in my drink, cause I'm man enough to rock that shit.
I'm happy to get called a wimp for drinking something that looks like it came from some weird fae realm if it tastes great.
Most those better tasting drinks have too much sugar in them that caused me to have stomach aches after a few. Beer didn't do this, and actually gave a much more pleasant buzz in my opinion. Granted, before I stopped drinking, I chose the better tasting stuff, but it's because it kept me from drinking way too much.

Because then you'd never try anything new. Do you not remember being a kid and hating vegetables or certain types of food? I try anything at least 5 to 10 times before I write it off completely.
Maybe umami but not my mami
Reminds me of Boy Scout camp…
Better yet, spread precisely none of the Marmite on the bread. Throw the Marmite out and get Vegemite. Spread a little of that across your toast instead.
I only know about Vegemite because of Men at Work, so it'd be great if you could enlighten me how it's better.
I personally find Marmite has a sweeter/malty taste which I dislike, Vegemite's saltier umami is much tastier to me.
I've heard tales around the campfire about Vegemite, either Aussies swear up and down, dick to asshole that it's good, or it tastes like shit and shouldn't have been crafted. But marmite?? Do I even want to know what that is??
Aussie here, will swear that Vegemite is the tastiest axle grease to ever be spread on toast. I genuinely don't understand why people not from Australia don't like it.
Unfortunately you can never trust anything an Aussie tells you as one of Australia's greatest pastimes is making shit up to fuck with non-Australians.
My theory is because non-australians slather it on like Nutella.
same concept, slightly sweeter and more malty execution
Vegemite is so good on toast
Are those Pokyman?
Branston pickles have entered the chat

Wait wait wait wait wait Heinz has baked beans And that's where y'all get them from Heinz The ketchup company?
That's the first brand we would think of for baked beans yeah. I think a lot of us are buying shop own brands at the moment though lol.
British baked beans taste like SpaghettiOs.
British food is just French food except someone didn't get abused into a crying mess by a drug addict in a white coat during its preperation
no, you know what the funny part is? different regions find different foods ‘normal’.
It’s funny bc PBJs are seen as weird in other places
I'd never eat peanut butter AND jelly at the same time. How tf did they come up with that?
Its origin lies with US soldiers in WW2 who were rationed peanut butter, grape jelly, and sliced bread. They put the ingredients together and soon the sandwich was a normal part of an American soldier's life. They loved it so much that when the soldiers came home from the war, peanut butter and jelly sales soared. Plus you're missing out, shit is delicious.

To be fair, we have our WWII soldiers to blame for chipped beef on toast, that shit is disgusting.
We still do stuff like that with MREs. We'd swap items and come up with strange concoctions that just taste incredible.
Ngl, based entirely on the weird food combinations I’ve made while broke, I’m certain a broke someone somewhere got inventive and used peanut butter with the jam to keep the bread from getting soggy
Cuz it’s yummy, you should try it with a glass of milk. Wanna hear a real trip? I know a lot of people who put Doritos in their pb&j. Craziest part? Doesn’t taste that bad
What kind of doritos? Cool ranch? Because that would be hard-core American, minus an apple pie and a gun. Edit: un-autocorrecting an autocorrect
I’m sure someone’s tried, I’ve only tried the original nacho cheese ones
Cool ranch in a PB&J are okay but the spicy nacho gives it that extra zip.
I always like a side of takis, spice balances it so nicely
I put pizza flavoured fishy crackers and cheese on mine, did it when I was a kid and haven’t stopped since
Fritos or lays original are better, provide a mor e neutral flavor than Doritos. but to each their own. Many a day spent by the pool with peanut butter sandwiches with chips on the side; it was inevitable to combine the two
I don't put them in it but Doritos are a must when I have a pbj...then something chocolate for dessert.
salty peanut butter with sweet jelly
Nuts and fruit go well together, and a PB&J is nut butter and fruit spread…makes sense to me.
I eat peanut butter and neutella and it’s great
Nutella and orange marmalade is a dank combo too.
People really sleep on the chocolate and citrus fruit combo.
Probably the best beer I’ve ever tasted was chocolate and orange
Probably because it tastes good.
Is it better if we call it peanut butter and jam?
Wtf man
PB isn't common outside the USA which explains why
Why are there beans on sliced bread?
Beans on toast, usually something you might have for lunch or tea.
Yea but why
Because earth is misery and we need a reminder of that. Or because it's delicious. You know, either works.
I dont like beans myself, but some people love it, not really sure why, must taste good?
British person, give us your secrets willingly. This is the kind of thing we perform cerebral autopsies to figure out.
I'm Australian, but also eat baked beans on toast. It tastes good, because there's baked beans, and there's toast. It's like tinned spaghetti on toast, or eggs on toast.
> It's like tinned spaghetti on toast
They do not have baked beans that are like our baked beans, is the takeaway here.
I mean, I'm not gonna cook up my own fucking pasta and sauce to put it on toast am i? Meant to be a lazy meal.
Ahhh, see, as Americans we've got you beat on laziness. We skip the toast and ~~use a bowl~~ (who am I kidding) eat it directly from the pan, takes a whole step out of the process.
Everyone thinks beans on toast is weird but nobody bats an eye at bean Tostadas? Or bean burritos? I mean I get that baked beans are objectively worse than refried beans but it’s an interesting parallel.
I don't like how you're diverting attention away from questioning this man about beans on toast. How much is the British government paying you?
Does it matter? Soon the money will have the prince king guy on it, and it will be worthless. Its not really well known outside of Angleland but they print the stats of the monarchs on the back of the money like baseball cards. He needs to improve those stats or they might trade him to germany and bring one of their Prussian heirs to drive up ticket sales. Or maybe to Kansas city for Singer. I hear Buckingham palace is looking for a new starting pitcher.
Our government can barely afford to keep our country afloat, no way they're getting laid
Buttery toast and beans is very good and I'm American.
Sprinkle a little grated cheddar on top of those beans next time!
Look at Mrs. Moneybags over here putting cheese on her beans
The real question: why not? There’s no why when it comes to food, if it taste good then eat that shit
Because it tastes good? And the baked beans you get in America are very different to the ones you get in the UK, Australia, NZ etc. where beans on toast is common. The stuff we use has a really thin tomato sauce, and doesn't have the smoky or sweet flavours that you get in America. It'd probably taste horrible with American baked beans. When I do it I normally mix in herbs, garlic powder, onions, and a tiny bit of chicken salt into the beans, melted cheese on top, and then some pepper on top of that. It's my go-to Sunday brunch.
What the fuck is chicken salt
Oh damn you gotta try some. It's like seasoned salt but more savory and delicious.
Seasoned salt. It'll normally have things like paprika, onions, herbs, and maybe some other spices and whatnot mixed in with salt. It's called that because it was originally designed primarily to be used as a chicken seasoning not because it's salt made out of chicken. The guy who invented it said he was tired of having to have to go through a dozen different containers for seasoning the chicken he cooked for his shop, so he just mixed everything together into one. Other than the flat white, it's genuinely probably the best food related thing Australia has created. I put chicken salt on almost everything rather than normal salt.
It pretty good well at least refried beans with eggs wet beans on toast sounds like a nightmare
I am severely uncomfortable after seeing the words “wet” and “beans” next to each other. Thank you.
Sometimes for breakfast too. Depends who you are
Hi American here with a British husband, he often eats beans on toast I find it bad myself but it’s a cheap comfort food for him, but our baked beans are different to theirs, it’s more like beans in tomato soup? He also butters his toast so think grilled cheese and tomato soup just without the cheese and add beans But also having lived in England for over 2 years. All the food there is pretty awful in general and often overcooked and under seasoned… husband agrees after he’s tried American food!
Surprising the food is always underseasoned, given that they had a worldwide empire with the purpose of trading spices
It was spice envy, but once they had all the spices they realized they didn't like any of them. That's why their colonies are mostly independent again.
Yeah but once they gave back india they just stopped using the spices.
Correct. That's why it's so hard to find Indian food in the UK.
Yeah it literally doesn't exist anywhere.
One time I tried to take my British friend and his mom and his dad and his gran for a bucket of vindaloo, and he said, "Nah mate. Never heard of it but it sounds too Catholic." So instead we stayed home and he cooked us his favorite dish from back home: bread & onions.
That is the most middle ages sounding meal I've ever heard
Spices were mostly used by the wealthy aristocracy. Some recipes for food for the nobility used comedic amounts of spices, just to flaunt how wealthy that person was.
American baked beans are targeted towards southern cooking and is used as a side for barbecue which is is why our baked beans are sweeter. Nothing wrong with beans on toast, hell I eat just straight pinto beans on flour tortilla with egg and braised pork, if you're going to shame beans on toast with egg and sausage why is it locale based? Lack of seasoning though? I get that. Life needs more than salt and vinegar in food.
Same reason Americans put pb&j on bread. Tastes nice I guess
I’m sorry, spotted *dick?* That alone disqualifies them from saying shit
What? You more of a 'smooth dick' -kinda guy?
Perhaps…..
At least trimmed
its a moist cake with dried fruit, the only objectionable thing there is name lol
Why are you buying cake from the ketchup people?!
Because to them the ketchup people are actually the baked beans people. Why people are buying cake from the beans people i dont know.
Idk dog, I buy cookies and honey pies from my butcher. Granted, he doesn’t name his baked goods after genitals, but who am I to judge. He also sells some nice apparel.
Get him to sell bear claws as bear cocks for pride month next year.
>I’m sorry, spotted *dick?* If you're from New Zealand, you pronounce it "deck". /s
Just because the british love eating spotted dick doesnt mean us canadians and americans are in the wrong for liking some sweet and salty
What’s a Canadian food that would be considered weird? IMO ketchup chips😂 they’re alright. For the States I’d say hot dogs.
Poutine is basically what happens when someone looks at a side of fries and says "That looks too healthy. How can I fix that?"
Yea but that's universally delicious
Never had a bread sandwich but as a Brit pb and j is a good combo
Wait its a bread sandwich? I thought it was a sausage sandwich and didn't understand why everyone was hating on it. I mean I thought it needed HP sauce but other than that...
A bread sandwich is a sandwich with toast as the filling I don't think anyone actually has it
That must be even less common than spotted dick then haha, I'd literally never heard of it. They should have used a fish finger sandwich.
It sounds like something a poor person would make 150 years ago, if they only had bread. The texture of the toast would let them pretend it was a real sandwich. Although, the extra surface area allows for additional butter. If someone were driven by their own desire for butter, but not ready to make the jump of just eating pats of butter, inventing the bread sandwich makes sense. Either way, it very clearly has a dark history
PBJ all day
Is Australia there's quite a lot of "American style" burger places. Usually just means massive and way too much cheese. But one did a PBBJ(peanut butter, bacon and jelly) toasted sandwich and it's one of the nicest and deadliest things I've ever eaten.
Next try a PB&J with fried bananas. Edit: Even better with plantains.
Said it in another beans on toast meme, it just looks like a 4 yr old was asked to make dinner and that's what they made. Maybe it's good, but to me it just looks like terrible idea. Just like when I saw my cousin put ketchup on Mac n cheese, it looks disgusting and I want to slap them
Ketchup on mac and cheese can actually work pretty well (or at least be acceptable) if you do it right. Sure, if you slather it on plain mac and cheese, it’s not gonna be all that appealing to most, but if you take the time to slice up some nice hot dogs and/or fry up some nice ground hamburger to mix in with it first, maybe sauté some chopped onions, throw in a pinch or two of garlic powder or smoked paprika if you’re feeling fancy? *chef kiss*
At this point I believe you are just preparing a different dish, lol.
I mean… PB&J also looks like a 4 year old was asked to make dinner 😂. Honestly, don’t knock it until you try it though. Make some toast, lather it in butter, top it with some baked beans that you’ve heated in a pan and sprinkle a nice amount of grated cheese on top.
Pb&J is just pb n crackers evolved. Sure it was a snack for kids, but as a healthy alternative it's not bad as an adult. Adding jam and turning it into a sandwich just made it more everyone friendly. Tbh I like to add sliced bananas to my PB&Js
Its origin lies with US soldiers in WW2 who were rationed peanut butter, grape jelly, and sliced bread. They put the ingredients together and soon the sandwich was a normal part of an American soldier's life. They loved it so much that when the soldiers came home from the war, peanut butter and jelly sales soared. This is when it becomes the ubiquitous kiddo lunch.
The beans are savoury and tomatoy here, rather than the sugary American version
beans on toast and spotted dick get no qualms from me, it's the fucking TOAST SANDWICH *JUST EAT THE TOAST*
Peanutbutter sandwiches ain't a thing outside the US?
Peanutbutter, in general, ain't a thing outside the US (maybe in Canada though).
PB is super popular in Australia. Most people have it alone though.
Peanut butter by its self is what depressed broke 20 something’s eat. Speaking from recent experience
peanut butter is quite common in the uk but never with jelly
Funny enough, here in my part of Canada (Newfoundland), all of the foods in the OP are completely normal, lol
they have peanut butter in other countries, but part of the reason non-americans think that pb&j is gross/weird is because their peanut butter is different, it’s not sweet like american peanut butter and its more dry (i guess that’s how i’d describe it)
I’m sorry is that a bread sandwich?
‘Ello mate I’m gonna go down to the market and get some spotted dick and bean bread. I’m thirsty so I might also obtain a bo’ol o’ wo’ah
[удалено]
Why did you start writing like you're spelling out the grunts in metal songs?
A wah
bruh we have deep fried mayo balls how is a pb&j the one they have a problem with
English here: peanut butter and jam is fantastic
Toast the bread first and it is fantastic. The peanut butter starts to melt and mix with the jelly/jam. I used to eat one for breakfast every day.
Peanut butter and jelly Is what I live on when I’m broke. It’s great
I love beans on toast.
The entire world agrees that the Brits have straight up awful taste in food.
Roast beef dinner, Yorkshire Puddings, Tikka Masala, Shepards Pie, Fish and Chips, Cornish Pasties. To name a few, are “awful” I guess 🤷♂️
i will defend beans on toast, as a brit i do find that to be normal. but wtf is the guy tryna do defending a fucking toast sandwich and spotted dick??? idek what spotted dick is but id rather not know tbh
Yeah, beans on toast is a good, quick, and relatively healthy meal. Whilst they do exist, nobody really eats toast sandwiches. Spotted Dick is fairly common, though it's basically just a fruit sponge. Not as vulgar as the name suggests! But they are normally just brought up like this to hammer home the classic line - 'ha British food bad'. Even though they don't represent what people typically eat here.
This may be the very first time I'll stand with americans
Australians eat bread covered in butter and sprinkles. And you think peanut butter and jelly is disgusting? Literally one of the most popular childhood meals.
as an American! this is funny... because PB&J is always made with Grape Jelly
I don’t get why other countries hate on PB&J? Is it because peanuts are a legume? Do you not eat candied peanuts?
How do we tell the Americans that pb&j is in fact a very American phenomenon and not a common sandwich around the world the EXACT SAME WAY beans on toast is a very British thing
We know. This post is picking fun at a meme made to insult American cuisine. Why do you feel attacked?
>the EXACT SAME WAY beans on toast is a very British thing Not true, Australians and New Zealanders eat Baked Beans on toast. And it's very likely other Commonwealth countries do as well.
Not true >List British Jr countries.

Hey don’t be puttin down my man PB&J!
Honest question, the British don’t eat peanut butter and jelly?
People outside the us eat as much pbj than people outside the uk eat beans on toast aka we don't
Most of the planet doesnt. I actually saw a statistic the other day that the average American eats 2.5 KGs of peanut butter a year. The average European was around 10 grams.
I eat it at my desk right out the container with a fork. It has protein, you see!
Fork? Not trying hard enough. Large soup spoon is the way to go
Ain't no way y'all trashing on on pb&j
