Yorkshire pudding being considered the best thing about English cuisine tells you all you need to know about its state.

Tsaedje posted:Yorkshire pud is god tier, bangers and mash are top tier, but toad in the hole, which is literally Yorkshire pudding with embedded sausages is mid tier? The bangers make the yorkie greasy which is not good.

Toad in the hole is delicious though? Then again I like haggis and black pudding

Helpful of them to mirror the shephards pie picture for the cottage pie picture. A pallet swap wouldn't have been as elegant.

Scotch egg, toad in the hole and tikka masala all deserve a much higher place on that list.  Also bacon sandwich is not god tier. Otherwise pretty spot on though

ToxicFrog posted:Hey, at least they announced it. I had a website where I was allowed to create a 20 character password, but the UI to authenticate wouldn't accept a 20 character password. I had to change it to a 16 character password and the UI worked. I know I wasn't mistyping it because I was using a password manager. Also sites that say "use special characters" but don't tell you which ones and you try a $ or % and it freaks out. Or you create a password like %kl8_G*g and get told the password is too short. Bitch, nobody gonna guess that.

A lot of it also formalised during the rationing in WW2, with very little access to spices beyond our handful of native herbs. There's this a heavy dependence on gravy for flavour. Like, nobody ever eats plain Yorkshire puddings.

Yeah, and then adding to that 200 years of industrialisation meant a lot of immigration from rural areas to cities, which wiped out a lot of regional cooking traditions. Especially anything that relied on foraging for edible greens in rural/woodland areas. Instead you end up with a lot of pies, because those are an easy lunch for factory workers to prepare and carry with them. At least the poll is accurate in that British people almost always vote for the worst loving things. Cauliflower cheese is two ranks higher than kippers and haggis? C'mon.

Most standards (proper standards, that is) require 10-12 characters for regular passwords, 16+ for privileged accounts and 20+ for super users. The last two also requires 2FA. In practice, most places rely on old standards (8+ characters of random gibberish and change them every 3 months, to ensure they are written down in the least secure way possible). klafbang has a new favorite as of 14:25 on Jun 13, 2019 |

Haggis is fine, the only thing potentially off-putting is the backstory but if you're already eating dead animals in your life you might as well mash up their organs, get some good use out of them. When the aliens land and harvest us for meat they better drat well use every part I don't want my life to be wasted

Roblo posted:It's not 100% certain, looking online, but it's pretty likely it was invented in England by Indian immigrants tailoring their curries to British tastes. So yes it belongs on that list. It's also one of the few things on there that aren't garbage, even if it's bland compared to actual Indian food

What the gently caress Britain Savoury puddings are steamed and usually a suet pastry, it goes back to the history of what a 'pudding' was before it became another word for dessert. Steamed puddings like steak and kidney are delicious. I've steamed many a pudding. Just wait till you find out about canned steamed pudding where you literally boil a can. Best dessert pudding is Yorkshire Pudding with Jam.

one thing about British food I always remember is that when I was a kid I thought porridge was some kind of local dish we didn't have here but I came to find out It's just oatmeal Aramoro posted:Just wait till you find out about canned steamed pudding where you literally boil a can. this is the most normal part to any north american familiar with dulce de leche southern US food is also almost entirely earth tones but with more mixtilized corn and less pudding why is white gravy so weird to brits? it's just a sausage/milk/flour roux, you folks got all those things. Is it the pepper? I'm guessing it's the pepper.

I think it's just because Brits are used to brown gravy, that's all. Gravy=brown. So it's odd when it's white. Don't think anyone has anything against it, just isn't what a Brit would consider gravy.

British gravy is meat juices and stock, thickened with a little flour and seasoned to taste. They're completely different sauces given the same name. (ironically the opposite of your porridge/oatmeal confusion)

Yeah we have white sauce and bread sauce, but gravy is specifically meat juices with a roux to thicken.

yeah we got brown gravy, too, that's what's so weird about this! I'm guessing it's real popular here, on biscuits (yeah, yeah), since it's an easy way to feed a whole mess of people working/travelling westward. Real easy to whip up a vat of white gravy, from stuff that keeps well pre-refrigeration. Like pancakes or grits or black beans or really any breakfast where you gotta get dozens of people ready for a hard day but everyone's still tired from yesterday e: oh it's just not called gravy??? okay this is one of those things where you also have puzzles but some puzzles are called 'mind-delights' and are never called puzzles Peanut Butler has a new favorite as of 20:12 on Jun 13, 2019 |
