I can’t say the word on here as it’ll probably get flagged for hate speech, but Mr Brains Pork . . . (rhymes with Baggots) with Mash are the ultimate winter comfort food and remind me of my Nan. I swear if they permeated the world and instead of an offensive slur, that word became associated with tasty high fat balls of Porky goodness then that would be truly an enrichment.

Proper sized chips. Fed up of getting fries, or slightly bigger fries. A portion of proper sized chops at restaurants, or bags of proper sized chips at the supermarket, would be great.

It’s such a shame as a bit of an amateur baker that I don’t like crumble, or cooked fruit generally. I find the texture deeply off putting. Is there any way to try the crumble topping over something different?

Have you just never been to a supermarket?  There are far more sauces than just Brown Sauce and mustard, and also far more ways to season things than just sauce. Hell, you can't go to a farm shop or garden centre without stumbling across a bunch a small-batch chutney, pickles and sauces.
View on Reddit #72837453

nemmalur@reddit

Okay, what about herbs and spices?
View on Reddit #72840055

Internet-Dick-Joke@reddit

You realise that custom-build kitchens in the UK have a built-in spice rack option, right? And that even people with small kitches usually have a smaller, non-fitted spice rack, even if it's just one that fits on the counter? And they literally sell jars of dried herbs and spices in Poundland, and spice sets with a small spice rack in places like B&M and Home Bargains... I mean, fucking he'll mate, what do you think the sage in *sage and onion stuffing* is? It's a fucking herb, you numpty. Maybe, I don't know, actually listen to the actual British people about what sort of food gets eaten here rather than falling to an old TV stereotype that hasn't had any ties to reality since the end of rationing.
View on Reddit #72843581

nemmalur@reddit

I lived in the UK for years. There’s still a lot of highly specific uses of herbs and spices (as in sage stuffing, mint sauce, etc.) but used sparingly otherwise. When people talk about English food being unseasoned or underseasoned they’re referring to seasoning during preparation and cooking, not adding sauces, pickles/relishes or condiments afterwards.

Yeah, seasoning your meat can even just mean a sprinkle of salt before cooking.

Strongly flavoured foods in trad British cooking *excluding* anglo-indian food: Lots of strong acidic soft fruits like gooseberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant, sloes etc. Mustard, garlic, watercress, horseradish, black pepper, peppermint. Smoked or salted fish (kippers, anchovies etc) Strong cheeses like Stilton and mature cheddar Pickled sauces including piccalilli, Branston, pickled walnuts pickled eggs etc. Baked goods with cinnamon, cloves, mace etc esp around Christmas. Rhubarb Licorice

Not exactly a dish, but the habit / tradition of having a Sunday Roast. It's cosy, it's (/it can be) relatively quick and easy, it's reliable, it's comforting, and it marks an end point, sort of, for the week that has just passed - when you and your loved one-s can talk it all over, be relaxed and silly together, breathe, and regroup. Even better with a kettle on for 1-2 hours right after.

View on Reddit #72861352

YanniqX@reddit

Well, yes... that's why I added "it can be": one can 'cheat' (making stuff in advance, freeze and reheat, buying insted of making, asking family/friends to share the burden, simplifying recipes, even compromising on quantity or quality, if necessary). There's really no need to do it "correctly" if what you aim to 'produce' and protect, first and foremost, is the cosy, relaxing, loving experience of 'being home with people you love'. It's like trying to host stress-free holiday dinners: there are ways to do it, if everyone is on board that achieving perfect food (plus decor, presents, etc.) is not the point.
