    It depends. A cooked gravy dinner every Sunday with roasted potatoes and Yorkshire puddings is delicious. Pasties are amazing also.

    But my mum used to cook boiled potatoes and Brussels sprouts for dinner with no seasonings at all, and beef or lamb so bland and chewy I would gag.

    Luckily we had tons of curry shops and an influx of other “foreign” cuisine in the 70s to give my taste buds some exercise.

    I’m from Spain, for me all food getting worse, more at the north the country, but Brit is one of the worst, exept some few exceptions which are at least edibles if you are very hungry. In my journeys in GB, my diet are apart of fish and chips, one of the foreign restaurats with asiatic, greek or italian food as surviving hack.

      Counter argument swedish potato dumplings.

      Not only do they taste of pure mouth joy, the nap you can take after a few of these bad boys is like a medical induced coma.

      Now I’m hungry and craving a coma-nap.

        Is this syndrome similar to pierogi paralysis? I am missing large parts of my 20s due to my wife introducing me to them.

        Well, you can do little wrong with potatoes, potato recipes are almost nice and easy to prepare, like also recipes with noodles (macaroni, spaguetti…)

    Yes, but if you’re Germanic (their pastries are to die for, I have to acknowledge that) or Northern European (stroopwafles though) you don’t get to criticise them, lol.

    Thankfully, if made incorrectly it’s pretty good. A shepherd’s pie made with baked beans, or a jam roly-poly served with real vanilla ice cream is decent!
