It's a shame so many people don't get to experience flavourful British food, or go with stereotypes, since there's a bunch of really nice stuff.
I even have a book from the 1700s detailing the use of various herbs.
do you ever lend it out to the other brits to read? ;)
Give other Brits such an old book? What if they put it in their personal collection?
"Cheers pal, straight to the British Museum. Come, you can read the plaque about how the recipes used to be yours."
Nah, although that’s older than the US it’s not an old book by our standards. That one’s probably just a first edition of one of Mary Berry’s books.
It belongs in a museum!
Sounds like you've never had a lincolnshire sausage, or a nicely made shepherd's pie. Pies and pasties are often seasoned too.
well i was joking mate.
"often" seasoned?
i'm just messin my man.
I went to Scotland recently and I'm not sure how representative that is of UK food over all, but they definitely seasoned and spiced their food. So if that tracks for the UK over all they are recovering, it's just one hell of a hang over. The US had to do the same with the depression era.
Maybe those flavorful recipes are just too modern for most Brits
Well, 300 years is recent to Brits. Give em time to try it out, and circulate their favorites.
