    Why is it that everything on this platform is about Linux, Star Trek and beans?

      As a Latino, the first time trying sweet beans in a pastry was so alarming. I still don’t like them, it’s so weird. Now sweet, fried plantains with a side of refried beans and avocado? Yes please!

          It’s all about the way you were raised. I’m just not used to adding sweet directly into the bean paste.

          It’s like British beans and Mexican beans, both are beans but their taste and prep is like night and day

          Ya’ll are missing out. Mochi with red bean paste is amazing. It’s about the sweet and savory combination. Pretty similar to how halva works.

    I couldn’t convince my girlfriend to try my pie with veggies and fat chips all covered in gravy. Then she ate it and said “actually that’s really nice”.

      “british food” has come to mean “british food from ration times”, which is obviously going to result in it being dogshit because people had to stretch a hunk of ham over an entire week.

      And traditional dishes like corned beef and cabbage. I love me some corned beef with lots of mustard. And cabbage, you can eat it by the head and it has so few calories plus it has lots of vit c and fiber. It is excellent diet food.

      There is great english food. It’s just that your average brit ain’t making it either. Ive been to Bournemouth on a school language program several times and we had amazing Yorkshire Pudding and more good stuff once. But we also had Microwaved raw Broccoli with soggy disgusting Pizza another time.

      Also: You guys have an unhealthy obsession with vinegar.

          Right, because Fish&Chips doesnt contain any of that Salt and fat.^/s

          Truth be told, every nation has their food quirks. It’s just that from my german pov all your vinegar chips are disgusting. Chips and Crisps need Salt amd probably also paprika to be perfect. But that’s decidedly german.

      The UK has some of the best produce in the world. What the average person at home does is of course something else but that’s no different in a lot of countries.

      As someone mentioned rationing didn’t help the image but also the drabness of industrial canned food in the brown seventies. And people just forgot how to cook.

    Off topic, but yesterday I tried a tamale for the first time. Apparently they’re a common Christmas food in Mexico, so my boss brought some to our party. The first bite or two were strange (as a very picky US-American), but then it was really good! 10/10 would recommend and all that

      Wow it’s so beautiful I had to google Asturias to confirm it’s real.

    Best use of my pressure cooker*! Bulk black and pinto beans, 40m in the cooker with water and salt, then onto the stove with sauteed onions and garlic, a fair amount of oil, apple cider vinegar, pickled jalapeno or two, spices… absolutely fantastic with some rice. And our toddler loves it too.

    *Instant Pot, but pressure cooker sounds more… haute cuisine.

      And yet if a fancy restaurant does pea puree, people are all over it.

      Mushy peas are made from a specific variety (marrowfat) that were selectively bred to be softer and have a nicer texture when pureed. People are just snobby about it, baked beans, and food like it because it’s working class food, without being fetishised ‘exotic’ working class food.

        I imagine here in the US people would think pea puree was too much like baby food. Of course, if you’ve ever tried baby food, some of it is pretty darn good, so. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Well you used spices and things with flavor, so it’s not very British.

        If you’re going to ignore the entirety of British-indian cuisine, then Americans really shouldn’t be calling Mexican food their tastiest creation.

          Brit here. National dish is fish and chips or a roast, tikka masala is top 3 but not number 1.

          Fish and chips is the other national dish, and the first one. While I like it, it isn’t exactly full of flavor.

          Classic British cuisine doesn’t really have spices, because the British Isles don’t really have too many foods that can be used as spices. Sure, once they colonized India, they got some spices, but even still classic British food mostly stayed the same.

    And then there’s Southern American, Beans, hamhock, bacon, onions, cornbread. Amazing meal in the winter.
