    Its still weird to me how English breakfast is (that much of) a thing.

    Like a couple of centuries ago for the difference in the sheer standard of living, sure, maybe at that point it was luxurious in terms of ingredients alone, … but still?

            I mean the yanks deep fry butter for god sake.

            Yanks do? If anything that would be more of a southern thing, but I don’t think its a common thing anywhere other than as fair food or something

              It even isn’t really a southern thing, its an attention grabber for capital. No one eats or thinks of deep fried butter save for those that go to fairs and get it waved in their face.

            Fried butter is like a novelty fair food over here, it’s not a real dish.

            Blood pudding in the UK, on the other hand . . .

            Edit: also I’m pretty sure Scotland would deep fry tf out of some butter

              Blood sausage isn’t just a UK thing, variations are found in pretty much every cuisine that eats meat. And it’s not even like its super popular in the UK, its very often not even included in a full English breakfast.

                I didn’t say it wasn’t. Fried butter is also delicious. I was just making a comment as to the availability of the dishes in their respective countries.

        You don’t like Fish and Chips?

        English food is fine as long as it is not prepared by the English.
