What Brits have you been talking to? Clotted cream only goes on scones. Salad cream goes in the bin

Ketchup and pickles are disgusting, and shouldn't be on anything. Dipping fries in literally any other sauce is better than ketchup. Ugh.
Drinking anything other than cheap domestic beer out of the can. It's sad that most craft beers have resorted to printing "YO PUT THIS IN A GLASS FFS" on the side of it.

Whats wrong with British food?
High Tea is awesome. So is pub food - like Fish and Chips, Meat Pies, or Roast beef.
A Full English Breakfast is so good too. Black pudding is great.
HP Brown sauce is awesome.

Pineapple on ham.
The highest of food crimes. I'd honestly rather see someone put ketchup on steak.
Also Hawaiian pizza.

From my family over there. Clotted cream is always on scones. It still looks disgusting but I guess they need something to add moisture to those dry husks they call bread.
Salad cream seems to be used similar to how americans use ranch dressing.
So is provolone, mozzarella, pepper jack, cheddar, swiss, bleu, gouda, or any other kind of cheese.
I guess I mean both, unless the Kraft version of American cheese is significantly different than what other companies produce?
Either way, American cheese is disgusting. I don't get it when people say it's 'perfect for burgers'. Other cheeses have better, richer, more distinguishable flavors and melt just as well.
Scones aren't bread, unless you call anything made with flour 'bread'. Shouldn't be dry either
Try suggesting that American food is all ranch dressing and see how far that gets you
This, I'm in the Netherlands now. They put that shit on EVERYTHING

Those were just examples, not trying to say all british food is salad cream.
I guess it's just a general blandness I get from typical british foods. Whenever I visit I tend to go for more ethnic foods for this reason.

I'm of the mind that people can eat whatever they want as long as I don't have to smell it.
A lot of that is generational. Even garlic was unavailable as recently as the 70s. It must have been an awful time

My mom has gotten into this really annoying habit over the past couple years where she dunks everything in salad dressing. It's started off as something she'd do only with grilled chicken or pork chops just to change up the flavor, but now like everything she eats at home she's dunking in something and it's so annoying because she's great cook and she puts all this effort into making good food just to dunk it in some fucking Newman's Sweet Onion Dressing.
White rice is pretty good for you though. It's not like some super food that'll make you live forever and it has drawbacks, but it's hardly unhealthy.

Worst post i've ever seen on GAF
Clotted cream scones with jam are amazing
- scones being biscuits
- jam being jelly
You are bizarro me. I love oatmeal - so filling and delicious with milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little honey. I eat cottage cheese every day with lunch. Love to sautée brussel sprouts with other veggies. No opinion on grits as I don't eat those regularly.

In Argentina from when I went it was the Norm to have Well Done Steak.
To be fair.
Still tasted Goooooooood!

They're called scones though. Not bread or biscuits. I don't know many people who eat salad cream over 5 years old.
Not eating the pizza crust.
If the pizza crust isn't good enough for you to finish it off, you ordered from the incorrect god damn pizza place.
Dip that bitch in garlic sauce or some shit. Don't need pizza boxes lying around with half eaten pizza crusts nuggets shuffling around.

in every dialect of english i've heard til now, "Toast" is just a state for bread to occupy and not a unique variety of bread. "untoasted toast" is literally impossible in the version of english I normally speak. we are all trying to figure out what form of bread you are referring to as toast.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
What if you intentionally don't eat the crusts because you happen to live with a pair of good doggies who love getting pizza bones (the correct term for crusts when given to dogs) as treats?
everything but brussel sprouts have a disgusting texture to me
brussel sprouts tastes like what I imagine garbage would taste like
Well they're getting eaten so you're good.

Sometimes they have a particularly strong scent and tastes, not sure if it happens more when they're overcooked.
Garbage, though...imagine a garbage bag that's been sitting out in hot weather for a week. Imagine snipping a corner of that bag and draining the liquid, then chugging it. That's kombucha, and it's the only thing I've ever put in my mouth that seemed really, really wrong.
That's also stinky tofu. The one true thing that is a food crime, and an offense to anyone that loves food.

I had it once. I was very excited, I had always heard about it but never tried it. I also mistakenly thought the "stinky" was referring to garlic and strong spices. I didn't expect it to taste like a trashcan in the summer.
I also ate a lot of it because I couldn't comprehend that I actually hated it that much. I never hate anything! I tried it with spicy things, I tried it with pickled things, and nothing made it taste good.
Then I was sick.

- Ketchup on anything but fries and burgers. And sometimes noodles.
- Sweet stuff mixed with salty stuff. Ech! Bluargh! WHY!? (Exception: Pineapple on pizza. Yum.)
- Anything that has cheese AND eggs in it. No. You can't do that. Don't do that. Your toilet will thank you for it too.
- Special exception: Pizza. If you do any of the above shit on pizza then it's cool.
- Mayonaisse on anything. Mayonaisse is not a dressing. It's disgusting. It's like shit. Would you put shit in your salad or on your burger? Thought so.
- Fertilized eggs. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THAT SHIT??? Don't do that. It's disgusting. Fuck. Eugh.
- 1000-year eggs as well. Why? That sounds like death in egg form. Why would you eat rotten eggs?!
- Anything above Tabasco in terms of spicyness. You don't wanna die? Don't eat too spicy. #lifehacks
- From bottom to top: Bread - Butter - jam/marmelade. FUCK YOU TOO, BERLIN!
Pineapple on pizza is fucking amazing, by the way. Wouldn't eat it everyday but once a month or so is totally fine and it's goooooood.
Isn't pineapple on pizza salty stuff mixed with sweet?
Edit: Oh, nevermind, pizza causes the exception for these rules. I get it.

I updated my post, because otherwise I would have to say that you're right and that's not starting anytime soon, Hilbert.

Yeah, I don't care what or how you eat it if it's on your plate, because I will eat/order my food how I want.
I'm not risking food poisoning on undercooked steak/sushi by choice. And I usually don't eat pizza crust or lots of bread.

This is toast from where I am from (germany)
and thats what we think off when talking about bread most of the time
What happens if you stick this in a toaster?

I don't get the well done steak hate. I've eaten phenomenal well done steaks that are juicy as if they were medium or rare, made by people who know how to cook food that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you looked at the flesh to see the difference. I've also eaten terribly done rare/medium steaks where you can taste the blood which is not how it should be. I love blood in food when it's made appropriately such as blutwurst and blodplättar, but a medium/rare done steak where you taste the blood is nasty as fuck. I used to dislike well done steaks as well because so many that I ate were made wrong (unknown to me), my sister took me to restaurants and she herself is a highly trained chef who made me as well and I learned that you shouldn't dislike the well done steak, it's not its fault because people don't know how to do steak.

Don't be crazy. You can't put that in the toaster, for it is bread, not toast.
The juice in steak isn't blood. It's water and another type of protein found in muscle, which changes as you cook altering the iron oxidation, and with it, the flavor. The water also evaporates, making it less 'juicy' and more often than not disgusting and rubberlike.
