A comment on this earlier AskLemmy post inspired me to ask this question. I think there’s lots of delicious British food/it really depends on how you cook it, as with any cuisine.

    Nothing beats a proper English breakfast

    English Breakfast is a brilliantly balanced meal and it helped me get comfortable with eating a wider range of things (mushrooms, ratatouille, tomatoes) when I was younger. Love it.

    Also, beef wellington is pretty great if done right.

    I’ve never actually had one - always been told it is more effort than it’s worth. Looks good though - one day I’ll have my prize

      Beef Wellington isn’t even English, it started as a French dish and was refined and popularized in the US. And yes it’s way too much work to cook.

        Maybe the French disowned it then. “Too much pastry and too much meat, this meal is practically English!” They seem to like more fancy-shaped pastries in France.
