It breaks my heart that apparently most of the British public have never had good black pudding.

Someone once convinced me to eat haggis in exchange for a free meal of haggis.
It was delicious!
They’ve probably never had unicorn meat either. Because neither of those things exist.
Tongue firmly in cheek here…
It’s basically like the Spanish blood sausage but using oats instead of rice right? I think that’s a downgrade but from a 10 to a 9 so I still love it.
Not even that hard to find. Had a great black pudding in Dublin not too long ago as well in a fry up.
Ragebait
Yorkshire puddings are entirely all right but they’re not top tier. That’s like saying bread is top tier, it depends entirely on what you can buy it with. No one has just the Yorkshire pudding on a plate that’s not a meal.
Welsh rarebit though is. That should be at the top of the list, if I ever go to a cafe and they have that on the menu I will 100% definitely have it every single time.
Yeah, why is Yorkshire Pudding at the top but Toad-in-the-hole is halfway down, when they are the same thing, except one is a proper meal and the other isn’t?
I’ve never had a good Yorkshire pudding. They are always disappointing. It’s irrelevant how much of the rest of your sunday roast you eat with it, it always makes the rest of the roast taste worse than it would had you not wasted your time with the Yorkshire pudding.
Wow thems fighting words. But i’m thinking you’ve perhaps been eating the wrong ones? I’ve had some truly dire ones, its not like its a recipie impossible to mess up, but most of them i’ve had are really amazing. Crispy sides, slightly soft bottom is the ideal imo, but you also can’t make up for bad ones just by the cooking, it’s also what they’re made of
I’ve had a few Sunday roasts (in the UK) in my time, and been to good pubs and bad across a variety of English locales to have them, they are always shit. Have even tried homemade ones by someone who everyone says makes great Yorkshire puddings. Disappoint always ensued. It’s always the same, a mostly tasteless piece of batter that takes more from a meal than it adds.
Or if you’re super lazy like me:

For if you don’t like rock hard yorkshires.
Beef Wellington low tier? Who was asked for this poll?

This is madness. A full English (top tier) should have black pudding (apparently so-called bottom tier) on it. Madness, I tell you. And clearly a steak and kidney pudding is superior to a steak and kidney pie. It’s all to cock!
God tier - I agree
Top tier - All low tier
Mid tier - Chicken Tikka Massala & Welsh Rarebit should be Top Tier (I had Welsh rarebit for the first time in the summer, regret not having it earlier)
Low Tier - Pork Pie & Steak & Kideny Pie belong in crap tier (replace kidney with ale and it becomes God Tier)
Crap Tier - black pudding should be top tier. Haggis mid tier.
Edit - Where’s beans on toast??
I see your full English and raise you a full Scottish. Just like a full English but with haggis, fruit pudding, tattie scone, and guaranteed black pudding (English seems to only sometimes come with black pudding).
And Lorne sausage!
Oh aye! How could I forget. And if you’re hanging a wee tinny of Bru to wash it down
And my axe!
According to the logic of this incorrect chart, the two added “crap tier” items would pull the whole thing down to the middle.
Since I moved to the south east I have never seen a full english with black pudding and it saddens me. But I would rather make my own anyway as I can do it properly.
After visiting Scotland for the first time, I have to agree. The tatie scone is a stroke of genius!
I prefer welsh breakfast, with the cockles. My cafe stopped doing it though.
It never occured to my stupid Canadian brain that Chicken Tikka was actually British. But it makes sense in the same way that a lot of foods are “Canadian” because they were invented by immigrants adapting a dish to their new home.
Chicken Tikka is Indian. Chicken Tikka Masala is from Glasgow.
TIL all my favorite foods are universally despised lmao
Offal is delicious, get on my level 🫀🫁🫘
The top tier - consisting only of steak and ale pie - was sadly cropped out.
Also, would vouch for a separate entries for “cold Scotch egg fully cooked” and “fresh Scotch egg with runny middle”.
Cottage pie and shepherd’s pie have no business being that high and what the hell is black pudding doing down there?!
Only the UK would classify something “fish and chips” as the pinnacle of their cuisine.
Actually the Irish are super into it too. And Australia, though they fuck up the condiments by having aioli instead of salt and vinegar.
Portugal has a similar thing that is deep fried squid and chips. I was told I absolutely had to try it and it was bloody chewy.
Fried fish is a big thing in Portugal and Galiza, in fact that’s were the brits got the idea, but almost no one would rate it god tier among the local cuisine.
If the calamari is chewy it’s overcooked. It should not be chewy
That explains why we had to wait 30 minutes for our food then!
If this was the only food accessible to me I would also conquer the world. Desperately.
idk why people say that about British food, this all looks warm and filling, it’s basically comfort food. The worst thing about it is there are very few fruits and vegetables but presumably those are side dishes.
My issue with this is that about half the food is pies or otherwise pieish. The rest is just, boring or bland.
I mean… pies are very practical in cold climates. By “bland” I think you mean that they lack spices, which is true except for pepper, but that’s like saying Japanese food is a problem because it doesn’t have enough jalapeños.
“Boring” is subjective, tho I think we’d agree that to a modern palate it wouldn’t be very exciting to only eat British food exclusively. That can be said of any country’s cuisine tho.
Nope, you’d love it too.
faggots
I said eat my ass, not my whole body!
