To all of you saying "this literally looks like poop", "why are they eating boiled vomit", etc, post the last thing you made and I'm sure I could come up with some shitty things to say about it.
It's fucking very obviously a normal ass plate of potatoes and meat stew with carrots. Do the potatoes look a little bland? Maybe, but there's stew to dip it in. Regardless, a well seasoned potato has a good flavor all by itself. The stew looks like every other homemade stew I've ever seen. It's hard to make that shit look "pretty", but I know y'all scarf shit like that down. Get off your high fucking horses. There's plenty of other valid things to complain about with British culture, but making fun of their food is asinine.
Exactly, we don't post photos of what we cook saying it is the best dinner on the planet. Though even that was probably a joke from the OP, and people are joking back. Calm down a little lol.
I mean it's pretty tasty, comfort food for a lot of Brits. It's my dad's fav too, I wouldn't put it in my top 5, but it's comfort food for sure.
As a german, it's really the bread that makes me sad ;) I think the UK gets too much shit for their food though and people should shift the mockery a bit more towards Norway, haha.
Buttered white bread dipped in stew is the best way to eat bread. You should try it before you diss it

Middle one looks like a big, ropy turd I dropped last night
Lol I figured that one would get the love
How did you make and apply the brine? I tried it once and the results where despicable.
I use a 3% lye bath for 20 seconds. Also baked using a convection oven. I've done it using a baking soda boil and/or a standard oven and it just gets light brown. Lye plus convection is the key to get that dark brown.
The german flying overhead:
We're white knighting mild food takes now 😂 the internet is so silly
I mean, do they have black pepper? Or heat for their stoves to brown stuff a bit? Because those potatoes look like they were peeled, and put right on the plate.
If it's seasoned right that stew is probably absolutely banging. It looks great; good colour, good consistency, and you can tell from the softened edges on the carrots that it's been cooked low and slow long enough really develop the flavours.
The easiest upgrade to this meal would have been to simply mash the potatoes after boiling them; a little butter and milk, some salt and pepper, and your bland boiled potatoes have magically transformed into something absolutely delicious.
