I will never understand the Brits fascination with baked beans.

It's a slow news day, have fun.

[hinckley buzzard]

I’ve heard people yammer about a big Irish breakfast, but never heard anything about English breakfast. Looks pretty mundane stuff.

[Billthedrill]

Baked beans were introduced into the British breakfast diet as a result of a 1927 ad campaign by the Heinz corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Big Bean”) - so we are to blame. Why the Brits drink leaves suffused by hot water is a bit if a mystery...

[llevrok]

What?! No kippers? Indeed!!!!

[posterchild]

And no vindaloo??

[nwrep]

The Brits were once a great people with a great civilization and a great empire. Success caused their descent into rabid Marxified atheists, rampaging pederasts, and gullible globalists.

nasty. And the dude’s hair was dragging in the food when he leaned over his plate. The U.S. has THE best food on the planet; one exception may be Italy. Even the dishes that originate from a foreign land are better here.

[Red Badger]

WE have Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Thai, Indian, and Korean restaurants, and even an Irish one.

Why are there no British restaurants?..............

[mware]

Two eggs,2 sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, two rashers of bacon, baked beans, fried bread, toast and tea.

[Alas Babylon!]

So what was the one detail?

[Twotone]

When my sweetie & I visited London some years ago we were quite surprised by the baked beans & tomato as ‘breakfast food.’ But it was fine.

[NorthMountain]

The Brits’ baked beans, mixed with the over-easy egg chopped up, are quite good, IMO.

The banger is tasteless. IMO. If coated with enough baked bean sauce, it’s tolerable.

And give me double toast, hold the fried bread.

[toddausauras]

I miss those many UK breakfasts I had through working there. Not a great place for food but the breakfasts were spot on.

[RummyChick]

if you think that is bad try the vegan version

[PGR88]

Beans on toast have been a British breakfast thing since “forever.”

[sasquatch]

Steak & eggs, OJ, coffee with a pinch of salt.
Pasties are not bad.

[Honorary Serb]

I had a full English breakfast when I was in London for a conference. It was good, but not available here in the US.

[Fido969]

At least there is no Vegemite.

[RandallFlagg]

WE have Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Thai, Indian, and Korean restaurants, and even an Irish one.

Why are there no British restaurants?..............

They're out there.
They're called, "Pubs."
