Guess what time it is. It's time for another British food thread! Post examples of delectable British cuisine. I'll begin; Here we have a chicken parmesan, or 'chicken parmo' which is a thin layer of chicken that is breaded, fried and covered in delicious creamy cheese. with a side of hand-cut fried chips.
>>22096888That's a beast of a chicken parmo. Only one place sells it in my shitty town and they also do really nice burgers so I always end up having those instead.
>>22096888The chicken looks fine for what it is. The chips are lacking salt and will be in that poor in between state where they are neither sufficiently crispy+fluffy for that style or the good type of soggier chippy chips which can also be pleasant they'll just be dry. Either from before the oil has been warmed up or they've been sitting around instead of made fresh.
>>22096888don't forget the national favourite, the munchy box!
>>22096888
I'm 11 generations removed from England in the States and my ancestors kicked yalls ass, but I respect a good Ploughman's lunch. My goto is a nice pumpernickel or rye, dried/curred meats, hard boiled egg, cucumbers, onion, pickled peppers, nuts, and a nice cheese like Foenegreek, Reypenaer 2y or feta with honey. Also mad respect for bangers n mash, onion gravy style.
Loves a greasy bubble and squeak, me
Total classic
>>22097253I'd fuck that.
>>22097359What is the white stuff? Knowing brits it's probably something fucked like mayo. Hopefully it's sour cream like Russia's dish it reminds me of, Sirniki.
>>22097370It's clotted cream.You heat full fat milk for a while then let it cool and the fat rises to the surface.Then you scoop it off and eat it on scones with jam
>>22096888That's not creamy cheese, it's bechamel and cheese layered separately. Does taste amazing though.
>>22097882I have never had it, I think it's more of a Geordie thing though. >>22096902What a load of pretentious twaddle, I think you are being critical just for the sake of it, I don't see a problem with them.
>>22097117>I respect a good Ploughman's lunch.This. Maybe my favorite meal to eat in England. Nice afternoon in the pub with a few pints and a Ploughman's.
>>22096888>a thin layer of chicken that is breaded, fried and covered in delicious creamy cheeseThe fuck is that? A chicken parm is breaded, fried chicken with layers of tomato sauce, ham and cheese.
>>22097886It's a Middlesbrough thing specifically, but it's spread all over Teesside and you're usually able to get one easily enough in the rest of the North East. They pop up here and there in the rest of the country but they're never anywhere near as good. If you live that far away you're better off giving it a miss.
>>22096888That actually looks fucking mint and you're a lying twat if you pretend it's not.
>>22096888roast dinner
>>22096888Chicken looks really nice. Fries look sad and soggy. Would probably toast them or air fry them for a few minutes
>>22098276British chips are not like fries, they don't generally have a crispy outside and can be regarded as soggy, especially from a 'chippy' (fish and chip shop) but there is something about them that makes them very tasty and moreish, perhaps it's the potatoes they use but they are different to fries and what we would call steak fries, even though they look similar.
>>22097928>It's a Middlesbrough thing specificallyOK my bad.I knew it was North East, so I get +1 internet point at least but I am from the South West and it's definitely not a thing down here.>>22098269Nice, I especially like the spuds but you are going to use gravy aren't you anon?
>>22097370>What is the white stuff?Clotted cream. About half way between double cream and butter. Never a low-fat item!
>>22098276>Fries look sad and soggy.chip shop chips are always shit. i half expect its because chips need a higher frying temp but they keep their fryers set for fish
>>22098289Yeah you'd definitely have a hard time finding one down there, chances are there'll be four places in the entire South West that sell them, and they'll only be any good if the business owners are actually from Teesside. Other people just never seem to get them right.
>>22098285Yeah they look more like wedges or steak fries. Not saying they couldnt be good as im sure they can be but they dont look good in the pic >>22098430>call yourself a chip shop>are fucking terrible at the one thing you're supposed to cook wellMake it make sense. Where do you Brits go for good chips then?
>>22098545>Where do you Brits go for good chips then?restaurant or gastro pub
>>22098545>Where do you Brits go for good chips then?You find a good a good chippy, most are ok but it's like anything really, some are better than others, as is often case with small family owned businesses.Restaurants and gastro pubs tend to be worse, they don't have the correct fryers for the job and results vary tremendously, most are commercial frozen chips and are similar to chips you can make at home.If you are willing to spend loads of money and go to a high-end place, then you may get some triple-cooked chips (ala Heston Blumenthal) but you won't get very many.
>>22098545>Make it make sense. Where do you Brits go for good chips then?Traditional chippies that still use beef fat.
>>22099028My comment was this >>22099027But I can't argue with your post about beef dripping, it does make the best chips.
>>22098276Proper chips are supposed to be a little soft. If they're fried too crispy then they hold on to too much oil and become hard to stomach in anything more than a small quantity. They are also much thicker than Americans may assume.
>>22098545They're fine, that guy just clearly doesn't like the style and wants crispier chips.
>>22098289of course, and a hell of a lot of it, the gravy
>>22097034Spotted dick?

>>22097359JAM FIRST
>>22099774Looks like mac and cheese. Doesn't seem like hot weather food
>>22102519>jam boy
Cloddy globs and creamed eels just like me nan used to shit onto a plate for us every Sunday growing up in Cuntbury Saint Twatting.
>>22097117Gayest plowman’s lunch ive ever seen
>>22102556It's Cuntbury-on-Thames now
>>22097938You guys make me feel so sad
>>22099774That looks like the best southern mac and cheese from the states. Sad that it is pudding...
>>22096888i didn't realise you guys had parmas in britain
>>22103093>i didn't realise you guys had parmas in britainIt's only really NE England, not common at all outside of there.
>>22103071Tikka masala is Scottish not English.
>>22097031This shit got me salivating. I need to sleep and stop smoking weed so I can eat tomorrow
>>22102565>plowman’sESL retard.
>>22098545I think they use salt and vinegar too, which I've had once here in the states. It fucking slaps. I wanna try like the mushy peas and chips or whatever. I like the mess of fries they got. They try doing that shit out here but they just put sauce on it, not like curry or a stew of sorts and the fries aren't as thick. I gotta look for a british place specifically, but there's only like Irish places around here. I gotta eat out more. I used to not care about eating out alone but it's not been a thing I've been doing lately and have been retreating lately. Sorry for blogposting, I'm tired and sleep deprived
>>22103269>slaps
>>22103263>Tikka masala is Scottish not English.That's debatable, although scots like to claim everything, even haggis is english.
>>22103383It was created at the Shish Mahal in Glasgow. Not debatable.
>>22103387NoIt's the most popular theories but the scots do like to shout the loudest.Others say Bradford which is far more likely.
>>22103388Yeah, great research from you, but you just sound gay to me. Here's me being as gay as you: others say Andromeda which is far more likely.
>>22096888>go to America>act amazed we have food in large portions>go back to England>eat giant box of fried slop
>>22103780You've got big tits
Someone better post beans on white bread or I’m gonna freak
Bongs, explain yourselves
>>221037954u
Wanky spiggums and cummy custard dick treacle for supper again mum??? It's all a little guttersnipe like me can stomach it is!
>>22104140Why do people on the East Coast of America eat Seafood Gumbo?Explain yourselves.
>>22096902Wouldn't there be some nice vinegar (malt hopefully) and seasoning salt/pepper there so the person can season their chippies as they wish?
>>22097906>ham and cheeseu wot m8? I thought the ham and cheese made it a cordon bleu.Not hating, I'd smash but at least where I'm from Chick parm is just breaded fried chicky and tomato sauce/cheese.
>>22103254I.... have questions.Nah, rescinded, just gonna leave this one be.
>>22103292>tips fedora
>>22097117>my ごと is a nice pumpernickel or ryeHmm
>>22097379sounds delicious
>>22104327>corrrr it's göt bloodeh specks in it ehThose are called spices Nige
>>22104583Generally speaking most shops will ask you if you want salt and vinegar before wrapping the food up. Possibly not true if ordered online and self-applying vinegar is a bit more common but salt is almost always asked for as it's the default.
>>22104585Cordon bleu is chicken stuffed in the chicken and I don't think it has tomato sauce. Parma has the sauce cheese and ham on top.
>>22104698MB, I know what a bleu is, I just never heard of a Chicky Parm that had ham as an ingredient as well.
>>22104703>I just never heard of a Chicky Parm that had ham as an ingredient as well.After looking it up I think it's an Aussie thing. I wasn't aware that the American version was lacking the ham.Though I did know that you guys serve it on spaghetti for some reason.
>>22104706Ewww, didn't know I was talking to an Aussie (85% Jeet). I'll politely leave the conversation now and allow you to maintain your tight grip on any shred of relevance you can muster. G'Day Mate.
>>22104715>85% Jeetexplain
>>22104327Because it is flavorful, rich and satisfying. There are multiple kinds of seafood and some vegetables and spicy sausage. Why do you Brits eat eels in fucking jelly? Eels are delicious, why relegate them to such a miserable culinary fate? The fact that youre trying to make gumbo sound disgusting is hilarious
>>22104706Almost anything "Parmesan" like chicken, eggplant, veal, etc is served with pasta in America. Usually spaghetti but other long noodles are common too
