Excuse me but that isn't an official, original "Colin the Caterpillar" cake from Marks & Spencer, but an inferior and entirely unauthorised " Curly the Caterpillar" clone from Tesco.

As a proponent of fine British cuisine I take offence to this dire misrepresentation.

Oh god you're right. I'm sorry I was blinded by the glory of the bean pizza and didn't notice

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Glory!?

It is a warcrime

Look, I visited Britain a few years ago and you guys had pie with fish in it, which seemed kinda unique, fish & chips with vinegar in a newspaper, shortbread, haggis and other non-dessert "puddings" and breakfast with sausages etc.. (Also, we went to an Indian restaurant in Britain and it was really good. Like world class good ngl.)

[-] Foreigner@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

British cooking has a bad reputation, but they make really good comfort food. Sunday roast, yorkshire pudding, steak and ale pies, shepherd's/cottage pie, full english breakfast, pasties, fish pie, beef wellington, scones! I could go on. Sure it's mostly brown and beige food but cooked properly all of these dishes are really tasty!

beef wellington

Corn dogs for rich people

This meme is British people poking fun at ourselves.

Americans just recycle the same jokes from Reddit "lol conquered the world but doesn't use spice". From people who've never left their home town. You can ignore those.

The French also insult our food and they have more of a point but that's another matter and I'll personally fight them over it

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pfft, what would the french know about good food, they probably don't even put cheese on their beans and toast

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

The French had to get really good at sauce because they ate horse meat.

British Curries are different than a lot of "authentic" indian curries, but they have become a thing in of them selves, over the years, and they are great.

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Do other countries not have fish pies?

They should lock the whole country up for the baked beans pizza

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago

Heinz is a US brand. You can blame them.

I'd like to try it though. Looks... interesting.

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago

I prefer to get a normal pizza and put my own baked beans with it.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 14 points 2 weeks ago

Look at Gordon Ramsey over here, bet he serves it on a plate and everything

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Somehow this is such a Ken M response lol

[-] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's great that you acknowledge that beans on a pizza is in fact not normal

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

Not normal for a pizza to come with beans included, no. More normal to provide your own beans.

[-] mbirth@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, as a true Brit you have to have your emergency beanz can with you at all times.

[-] Schal330@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The superior Branston Beans right?

I guess this is what the US thinks the UK likes, and the UK likes it enough for Heinz to keep manufacturing it and selling it in their country 😂

A long, long time ago when I worked somewhere that briefly made Fridays optional over time days, on a Friday we’d order breakfast to work sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and beans on something baguette like was very common. The old adage applies …”don’t knock it until you’ve tried it”.

I haven’t had beans on pizza. I’ve probably had worse though.

I'm sorry ma'am, here's 250~~g~~ ml of ~~sugar~~ corn syrup

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

You mean 32 bumblebee's, right?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I guess I should have spoken to them in their language.

Here's half a cup of corn syrup.

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

So kind, I'll think of you on my early deathbed

These british cunts are trying to steal our fucken frogs!

[-] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sick of people coming at Canada for Hawaiian pizza when the British are putting baked beans on their pies.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

That’s not a pie.

No no, savage is eating meat straight off the bone.

Hey we also have Bärchenwurst in Germany

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wouldn't surprise me if that were actually German.

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Germans are the Sausage Masters. There's just no way around it.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Do other countries have potato waffles or is that an us thing?

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

that's a german thing, no?

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Heinz baked bean pizza sounds kind of amazing... I'm guessing that ones not available outside the UK though lol maybe I can make it myself at home

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago
