    Those appear to be Canadian Smarties. As an American I wash my hands of this whole affair, good day sir.

    I mean, yeah, but that’s so much better. Sure, our food sucks, but it sucks in such an elevated way that it’s almost an art form. British food seems like it was made by a guy desperately trying to put together a meal from ingredients he bought at a gas station. American cuisine seems like it was made by a chef who is losing his sanity to Lovecraftian horrors beyond our comprehension. The world looks at beans and toast and laughs at how pathetic it is.They look upon the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco and weep, for they now know there is no God.

      People who laugh at beans on toast haven’t tried beans on toast. At least not with English baked beans.

        Eh. I’ve had it, and it was fine. I’ve had the meat heavy full breakfast version too, and it was fine.

        Certainly nothing I miss after leaving, nor something to avoid while there.

        5/10, bland but sufficient.

        I’ve never had them, so I can’t comment on their taste, but aesthetically, it looks like a dish you’d be served in a Soviet prison.

        There are several dozen YouTube videos of exactly this and it almost never goes over well. I’ve seen like two non British try been a and toast and go “that’s not as bad as I expected”. None of them praised it or would seek it out, it just didn’t immediately make them hurl.

      OP’s pic is just the British way of saying “our national pastime is watching dry paint dry, and we’re most pleased to say that we’re rather proud of that fact!”

        To be fair, I think their actual national pastime is Cricket, which is significantly more boring.

      Err, yeah, the point of beans on toast is that it’s the simplest, most basic hot comfort food you can just throw together

    Isn’t this a Brazilian thing? There are million things to pick from that would actually be American and arguably some things more disgusting than this

    You all nag about how Americans have no food culture of their own, that they just steal and adapt other countries’ foods. Then when you see true American creation and innovation, you reel back in fear and disgusting. Cowards!

      It’s the British we’re talking about. Anything other than fish and chips, mushy peas, or bubble and squeak is a bit too aggressive for their traditionally unrefined tastes. The poor sods basically had to be forcefully introduced to anything other than boring.

        The countable pixels and questionable color accuracy of the image mean that could definitely be a white grape. Which I would infinitely prefer over a whole green olive. I would eat the grape, even though it’s weird on pizza. I’d take that olive right off, or maybe eat around it.

        Gotta draw the line somewhere.

    Take yer chip butty and go back to believing whatever your instagram feeds tell you, consoled by the fact that yer mushy peas and jellied eel are are the pinnacle of civiliz(s)ed cuisine.

    I would like to clarify:

    There is no piss inside beans/toast that needs to be extracted.
