  • The really low-end restaurant thread

Grant doesnt like garlic or butter or any of that yucky stuff.
He likes a well done breaded chicken breast with some ketchup. And fair play to him.

    Ireland’s haute cuisine backbone was built on Michelin starred French cooking.

    It’s a funny old game.

      Even though you don’t know it, Smallman . You are correct.

      Smallman1 We had the British empire for almost 300 years and controlled 24% of the earth’s land. What did we come up with in that time, outside of meat and two veg? Yorkshire fucking puddings. Britain would be a culinary vacuum but for the continent and in large parts of our country, it still is.

          Ah yes the Yorkshire pudding. Given their title, Id wager Smallman will not accept having these in any other course but dessert.

          Come on Grant, Fish & Chips? Pie & Mash? The world famous Cornish Pasty? Sausage Rolls? The list goes on…

            The roast bloody dinner

            The end.

              The cooked breakfast.

              Grant eating all that fancy foreign food not realising the good stuff is all around him.

              Turkey twizzlers must be an english invention, or should i say gift to the culinary world. Bernard what the fuck you call him?

              Yes, turkey twizzlers, definitely a British thing. Served on an old Beastie Boys vinyl or the keystone from a 17th century stone bridge for a contemporary spin.

              Hursty . Is the sausage roll a traditional British food item? Not sure about that one.

                  The sausage and bean bake from Gregs. The of food champions, perfect to line the stomach on the way to sign on for another week.

                    -si- Greggs is an institution, I like how they’ve regionalised their menu (e.g. you get Bakewell Tarts in the North West, but they’re replaced by Tottenham Cake down south) to show the true diversity of our island’s cuisine.

                      Bangers and mash.

                      Which is also cockney rhyming slang for cash.

                      seanc80 Well there aren’t many other countries that produce traditional sausages and I would hazard a guess it was also us who decided to wrap one up in pastry like many other savoury items!

                        I’m fed up with the nonsense around food. That somehow British food is inferior to that which is consumed on the continent.

                        Bedfordshire Clanger (suet crust dumpling) with a slice of Battenberg to finish. Yes. Please don’t forget we single handily won multiple wars eating starch in this country.

                        Most of you foreigners wouldn’t have any of the benefits of the industrial revolution if it wasn’t for foods like bacon 🥓 (discovered by Sir Francis Drake while he was ransacking Kenya)
