I can't stand beans on toast it is bad
Same. Nasty stuff. Toast should have cheese, not beans. Beans are terrible.
As for British food, I do admit there are a few bad things in there. But what country doesn't have a few "local delicacies" like jellied eels and black pudding? Most of that damned reputation comes from either the Second World War or from the Industrial age. It's certainly
not a modern or correct opinion. In fact, we have excellent food, so long as you don't think buying a premade meal from the shops and throwing that in the oven is home cooking.
Have a few examples. These all originate from the United Kingdom.
Trifle. My mom still occasionally makes these in small dessert glasses. Strawberry jelly at the bottom with pieces of sponge cake and fruit mixed in, then a layer of custard and topped with cream and left in the fridge to set.
Cottage pie. Sometimes called Shepherd's pie, both are correct. A base of minced beef mixed with vegetables covered in cheesy mashed potato.
Banoffee pie. So popular it's frigging mass produced, but most local bakeries make them too. As the name implies, banana + toffee = a hundred percent delicious.
Sticky toffee pudding. I don't even need to say anything about this.
And of course, the flagship meal, a truly iconic part of English cuisine. The Sunday roast.
Best part is I can cook all of these except the Banoffee pie and cook them quite well. Food is fairly cheap where I live and while that fruit farm might be specialized in fruit, it also grows all sorts of vegetables and keeps livestock, too. The butchers there make this nice piece of chicken wrapped with bacon and filled with stuffing mixed with cheese for £3 that is absolutely incredible, especially with gravy and roasties.
And one last image, just because.
