Actually getting OP to learn how to cook would be useful.
If he was actually moving to the UK, I wouldn't want him to get addicted to takeaway because it is better than the slop he has but it's still not healthy or good for the wallet.
Liver and onions isn't that bad, though I might be biased as I had to eat it a lot when I was poorer.
Haddock is also the best choice for fish and chips and you're my enemy if you prefer pollock
This is shared a lot and always catering for people's personal preference. There is no way black pudding would be god tier as most people don't touch it.
Same with masala at the bottom. More people love a masala over black pudding unless you're a northerner who lives off brown oven food.
I'm British and I've never actually seen a beef wellington in my life. It looks nice, but, yeah.

Senpai northerners have a lot of tikka masala lmao
Morcilla is 100x better than what the British produce, and this is coming from someone living in England. Can't wait to move out again.

I've never had morcilla, but looking at it online (and at the recipe) it looks pretty damn similar to black pudding. If you like one you should by rights like the other. Are you sure you don't have a tongue problem?

Texture difference and they taste super different. You have to try it to believe me. Black Pudding is dry while morcilla is like a paste and is more flavorful. Unless I'm missing out on some good Black Pudding, I just don't like it.

>Black Pudding is dry
Black pudding should not be dry. It should be pretty moist. I will try morcilla, if I can, because I love blood sausages, but I do doubt it could taste all that different when the ingredients are extremely similar and the method of cooking is extremely similar.

Try getting it outside the UK cause it's literally the same there. Spain or Argentina has the best kind.

Culinaly has an obvious reason to put tikka masala at crap tier. Lol.

The methodology they used for the ranking was moronic, too. If you look at the raw data, most of the bottom tier foods were just regional or uncommon things nobody had actually had.

Well, strangeness aside, it's extremely important to note that this poll is asking British people their opinion of their own foods.

It's weighted heavily to common foods over uncommon foods. It's a bad metric and not really a good representation.

That'd explain why stuff like kippers are shit tier even though they're so delicious. And liver and onion probably just weirds out a lot of idiots. I'll never forget how a couple of English guys at our hostel were surprised that me and my friend were cooking liver and onions. Like that's a fricking English dish, damn. You should be used to it.

Most of those are terrible or acquired tastes. >scones are god tier
I know YouGov only surveys people in the south but I swear those poofs need to touch grass. Scones are graded entirely on their filling, the actual scone is shite and would be improved by being any other kind of baked good. That and it's a red flag that if someone makes these for you, they're a terrible cook who just bungs boiled veg on a plate.
If you earn enough to eat out then British restaurants are good.
Are you a New Yorker or something because it's extremely strange to say that London certainly isn't the financial capital of the world
I spent a week visiting family (London, Oxford, Bath) and the food was just dire. The oxford folks were like high class so we went to nice places and it was just bad. Fish and chips were good I guess but only at that fried food level. But this was in the early 2000s and watching Rate My Takeaway dude on youtube it seems the UK has had a sloppa renaissance
I'm from Oxford. Oxford has no good restaurants. It's a well known thing. Such is life when I go back home. It's always a pain when we celebrate birthdays because there really just aren't any good restaurants there.
Everywhere else is great. Sorry you had to experience Oxford's food, anon.
Fish and chips are fricking horrible btw anon, if you think they were good then you'd like actual British cuisine.
Oh gee really you don't say, it's almost like London is a hub full of various international cuisines and restaurants instead of some bumfrick nowhere up north where your only fine dining options are chippy shops.
My mate has Words to say about how you make a proper parmo
Personally, I think it looks like vomit on a plate
Anyway, spend a month in Calais and tell me about the food there. Everywhere has shit places.
Not him, but I spent the bulk of my childhood thinking "mold" and "mould" were different words. It didn't help that the same word is used for a slime and a template. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of idiots still think that.
Learn to cook anyway. Useful life skill, and for most things pretty easy. (The usual hard part is doing many things at once.)
There are lots of good places to eat, and many good foods. There's also lots of rubbish; avoid the bad, go for the good.
learning to cook should not be intimidating. here are some steps to get your started on this new and exciting journey:
1. travel to Kataba Knives, a shop in London where you will stock up on some kitchen essentials
2. Purchase a Hitohira Togashi 240mm Gyuto knife (680 gbp), two Morihei Hishiboshi sharpening stones: 1000 grit (80 gbp) and 6000 grit (120 gbp), a leather strop (35 gbp), an Asahi rubber cutting board (165 gbp), and a Japanese copper tamagoyaki pan with wooden lid (195 gbp). You now have all the tools you'll need to make your very first omelette!
3. go to the grocery store and get some eggs. head over to the produce section and grab whichever vegetables you fancy: onions, bell peppers, celery, mushroom, carrots, anything! It's your omelette. Grab some of your favourite cheese, too.
4. Bring all your goodies home. Now open up your phone's internet browser and navigate to www.YouTube.com, then use the search bar to find hundreds of helpful videos that will teach you how to make an omelette
I live in london and have never seen any of the meme dishes, its just americans getting baited by whoevers pitting americans and euros against eachother here
also its unhealthy how many options you get, theres some shitty small grocery store near me and even thats excellent, great choice of spices, fresh/frozen meat, even has olives with ladles n shit, baklava, great choice of snacks and cheese, etc
note i am not a bong i am a germoid so i am i am immune to any bong tastebud accusations
>meme dishes
What even qualifies as a meme dish here? Yeah, sure, wigan kebabs exist in some northern hellholes. I think there's a few places in the East End that still serve eel for purely historical reasons. homosexuals? They're pretty much indistinguishable from any other cheap meatball.
Maybe haggis, but that's not exactly a staple in Scotland. Yeah, every chippy there sells it, but who's ordering it?
Everything else in British cuisine is honestly normal and tends to have analogues around the world.
Beef Wellington, im in my late 40s & have never eaten it nor seen it served anywhere.
I have eaten in the shittiest dumps to top class places. Oh and I lived in
Now spend almost a month in Middlesbrough and report back on the dining scene there.
>Beef Wellington
Y'know, I've never actually tried this but I swear I've seen it on menus for several hotel restaurants. That and there's Ramsay's Savoy, but that probably qualifies as a meme restaurant.
Anyone who turns their nose up at haggis but happily scarfs down a hotdogs is either a hypocrite or has a literal child's view of food.
I've never once heard of a hotdog made with lamb offal and oats, but I get what you're getting at.

My $ .02 as an Italian tourist that went to UK twice: I ate (and drink) best in pubs. Food and drinks were really nice and diversified, really liked that. My dumb GF brought me to an Italian restaurant (with real italian owners) just to overpay some frozen tier tasting pasta.
The food in the UK doesn't suck, the misconception arises due to propensity of the common denizens of that nation to eat and seemingly enjoy to eat horrendous food.
Modern British people cannot cook, but that's not actually where the stereotype comes from. The stereotype simply comes from French and Italian food becoming fashionable, and English food becoming unfashionable. The stereotype always mocks the newest and least traditional British food, like fish and chips or full English breakfasts; it never mocks traditional English food like steak or roasts or stews or pies, other than perhaps that one pie nobody in the UK has ever eaten with the fish heads poking out.
I am from USA and spent almost a month in London and was actually blown away by the breadth of dining options and how delicious the food was.
No. Shut up. EVERYTHING is like the memes and we need to say silly things so OP can screencap this for r/Culinaly.

I actually like black pudding despite all the weird opinions
the only people who have weird opinions are north americans
pretty much all cuisines from lisbon to tokyo use blood
No toast sandwich? Fake list.
Liver and onions isn't that bad, though I might be biased as I had to eat it a lot when I was poorer.
Haddock is also the best choice for fish and chips and you're my enemy if you prefer pollock
can someone explain to me how brits prefer fish and fricking chips over beef wellington? they are worse than americans for gods sake

The only bad thing there is cauli cheese and even then it's only blah, not crap.

Heaven is when the French cook, the Germans brew the beer and the English run the government.
Hell is when the English cook, the French brew the beer and the Germans run the government.
So, theoretically speaking, you're just a short way (a chunnel ride) away from some good cuisine.
I wouldn't want any of those running the government.
heaven is when the germans cook, the english brew the beer and the government invades france
This makes no fricking sense.
It's this;
Good EU,
