/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Just order yourself a pizza bro

English food is horrid, why would you do this to yourself.

>>4601720
What the fuck is that black thing

>>4601748
Blood sausage. It's delicious.

>>4601733
Because I like it?

>>4601730
Yeah, that won't cut it.

>>4601720
>blood sausage
Go to a slaughterhouse, ask to buy blood?

>Blood Sausage

About 0.00% of English people use that term. Black Pudding if you please

>>4601756
Also, if you can get it, Stornoway Black Pudding is the best available imo. It is considerably better than most standard black pudding.

>>4601720
I love Branston pickles. My go-to office lunch used to be sandwiches of sharp, aged cheddar, Branston pickles, and some greens.

If you want to try that, try to get the small chunk pickle - much easier to spread.

i fucks with black pudding dude stuff is delicious

>>4601733
No it isn't you idiot.

>>4601748
Are you fucking blind?

>>4602300
Relax. Making fun of British food is babby tier trolling, like asking /fa/ why they dress like old men, or steak+ketchup here.

>>4601752
This is probably a good idea. It would be better to be self sufficient that forced to pay top dollar from a specialist store every time you want one. I think they use pork blood, oats and spices, put it in an intestinal case and then boil it, pricking it to stop it exploding obviously. I really want to try it, this blood sausage is always posted in anti-British food threads, funny how it is used as an insult when all yuro countries have a blood sausage of their own. Then again, I'm a real foodie and don't deny myself foods because they are weird. I want to try that eel jelly and kidney pie too.

I've never had black pudding. What does it taste like? Does it have a very strong iron taste?

>>4601769
I love a good ploughmans.

>>4602310
It doesn't. It's kind of hard to describe the taste. It's good though.

>>4601720
>British food.

>>4602316

Amazon might be worth trying for the baked beans, they have a decent international food section and they have free shipping. For bacon, I hear it's often sold as Canadian bacon, though sometimes that term means other cuts so check first.

>>4602319
I don't know why yuros call us fat when they eat state fair tier food every day.

>>4601720
For the baked beans, I am sure an American from an older thread said that American heinz vegetarian beans were the same as British beans. For the bacon I hear Americans call our bacon "Canadian bacon". As for the black pudding, I have no idea. I know Americans call offal disgusting so I doubt anyone would stock it. Try going to a good local butcher and ask if they or anyone they know stocks it. You might be able to buy pigs blood and an intestinal case from him for cheap and make your own. There are hundreds of recipes on the internet. Good luck.

>>4602322
We call you fat because you are statistically the fattest nation to have ever existed in the history of the human race.

Anyway deep-fried pizza and mars-bars are weird Scottish novelties which nobody actually eats.

>>4601730
Sounds like a good idea.

>>4601720
If I didn't just eat, you would have made me want one too.

>>4601720
Now, how would someone in Oregon even know about the full English?

>>4601720
Smibbly bibbly, who wants a nobbly bobbly?

>>4601720
You are now hungry.

>>4602342
Or maybe something savoury.

>>4602310
No iron taste at all. It has a taste all of its own. It's good stuff.
Don't get the squeamishness round it. How is it any worse than eating animal muscles?

>>4602331

Americans are definitely up there on the obesity ratings, but I believe they're currently beaten by some Pacific island nations and Kuwait and we're anything from 10th to 26th depending on which chart you look at. Probably can't feel that smug because we're slightly less tubby.

>>4602348
Depends what metric you're using.
If you're just going on "percentage of people who are obese", then the UK is almost up there with America. However, American obese people are far MORE obese.

>>4602310
All you need to know is that it's delicious and that you need to try some.

>>4602348
america is not beating anyone by very much either, it's the developed world that is fat, not just america.

>>4601720
Is it true that Americans call gammon "ham"? What do you call what we call ham?

>>4601720
So simple and yet so tasty.

>>4602446
usually shank and butt half of the pig is "ham", though I think it might have to be cured a certain way to qualify. not really sure on the specifics. /ck/ needs some kind of flere signal for butchers.

>>4601720
And before any Americans start the usual arguments, I am posting this image so that everyone knows what everyone else is talking about.

>>4602448
In the UK, this is a gammon joint, which is just a big roast.

>>4602451
This is a gammon steak, traditionally eaten with chips, a fried egg and a pineapple slice.

I'm looking forward to my first Roast back at home today, nothing ever beats your mum's roast.
What meat are you having today coo/ck/s?

>>4602452
This is what we call ham, thinly sliced pieces of a gammon joint that has been through the Wiltshire cure process and is usually eaten on sandwiches. I only asked because Americans seem to call all three of these as ham.

>>4602322
>>4602316
>mfw those actually look delicious to me and I would eat the fuck out them no problem

>>4602454
We are having roast chicken today.

>>4602461
Anon, you have no face. These are Scottish (fattest nation in Europe and really brings up the British average) typical post piss up munchies. In the rest of the UK we usually eat a donner kebab post piss up.

>>4602464
>tfw I can't differentiate between post piss up munchies/appetite to just being kind of hungry anymore ;_;

>>4601720
Just ate some hob-nobs, truly the best biscuit.

>>4602450
Oh and their is a difference between fries and chips as this image shows.

>>4601720
>British people not only put spotted dicks in their mouths, they also gobble down on faggots.

>>4601720

>2013

>>4602311
That's the name for it! I'd completely forgotten, and it was bugging me.

Thanks anon!

>Full english breakfast

>>4602479
Fucking pasty tax.

>>4602487
I love a good steak bake.

>>4602484
I hope you get run over. Get that continental piss water out of my thread.

>>4601720
Is it true that Americans only eat fruit pies and not savoury ones?

>>4602491

Not really, their general populace just doesn't eat/like it as much as we do.

>>4601720
The full English may be the breakfast of manual labourers and farmers. Kippers are the breakfast of the gentry.

>>4602491
I can't speak for all of Americans. I can say that my friends and family prefer savory pies more so than sweet pies.

>>4602487

The Pasty tax didn't go through you idiot.

>>4601720
Behold, the working mans snack, a pie butty. You can also substitute the pie for a pasty or sausage roll.

>>4601720
Do Americans eat pork scratchings? I know you took a lot of British food to the new world like apple pie and such but these were created after the split. Typical pub snack along with nuts and crisps.

>>4601720
I know you Americans like to shit on British food, but how can your mouth not water at this?

>>4601720
I love these little morsels of heaven. They were created by Fortnum and masons of London as a tasty and easily transportable snack for aristocracy on long carriage rides.

>>4602517
I generally can't stand boiled eggs with any softness to the yolk, but that looks awesome.

>>4602512
I had to look up the term. Seems like it's the same thing as a pork rind. If so, yeah. Though they aren't as popular as they used to be, they're still sold in a lot of places. I'd guess plenty kiddies here in the U.S. have never tried one.

>>4601720

>>4602517
I make these and you can bake them in the oven
they are very good and don't last long

>>4602552

Mmmmm, Stephen Fry flavor.

>>4602566

>>4602567

>>4602569
And that is my final image from my /crisp/ collection from all the /brit/ threads on /int/. Some interesting flavor chips, sorry, crisps.

>>4602446
I would kill for a plate of that right now.

>>4602473
Oh and no there is not you dumb motherfucker, they are just thick fries, sometimes known as steak cut fries.

>>4602514
Many americans have eaten shepards pie at some point, I know I have.

>>4601720
eggplant = aubergine,
zucchini = courgette.

>>4602593
Clearly you are the dumb motherfucker because you say there is no difference and then give then a different name. What a fuck face.
>There's no different between a slice of cheese and a block of cheese, one is just a bigger version of the other

fries and chips don't taste the same or even have the same texture.

>>4602341

>>4602342
>biscuits and jelly

>>4602478
I could sure go for some of that right now.

>>4602479

>>4602510
Good old starch on starch, keeps a man going.

>>4602501
Dare I ask what the white stuff with it is?

>>4602310

Tastes meaty, but not in the same way a meat sausage does, no iron-y flavour. There are different varieties made with different spices and some with chunks of fatty meat. Cut it into slices and fry until a bit crisp.

>>4602701
Poached eggs you fucktard

>>4602701

They look like hard poached eggs.

>>4602720
Thank goodness. They looked very gelatinous to me in the picture.

>>4602715
Go poach your dick. :D

>>4602701
Testicles.

British savages.

>>4602722

Probably way overcooked and rubbery.

>>4602733
But Americans are the only ones that eat testicles.
>rocky mountain oysters
>mfw Americans are literally ball suckers

>>4602715
ugh I thought it was sour cream and it looked delicious but now I don't know...

>>4602864
>I wasn't the only one.

>>4602491
That looks like what we'd call a "pot pie".
Personally, I've only heard "pie" used to refer to sweet desserts.

>>4602786
>can't into Spain

>>4602491
I told an American friend of mine once that "one of my favourite foods is a steak and kidney pie" and they had a miniature breakdown right in front of me.

I also mentioned a "bacon sandwich" to them once, and they got really confused about that too.

oh, and they didn't know what a "duvet" was.

Americans...

>>4602941
Most Americans know what a duvet is, or at least have a general idea.
Also, how is bacon sandwich not self explanatory? Sounds like a sandwich with bacon on it.

You must not have been speaking to one of the brighter tools in the shed.

>>4602943
do americans sleep with loads of sheets on their bed or something? I had that shit in European hotels and it was horrible. All the sheets would just slide off each other in the night and end up in a pile on the floor.

They're pretty intelligent, but I guess they don't get out much. They don't even own a passport, etc.

>>4601756
>>4601765
>not making your own from scratch
>georgecostanzaface.jpg

>>4602460
Spiral ham, ham steak, and ham. It's not that crazy different.

OP, I think the blood sausage would be your only problem. Canned beans can easily be ordered. As for back bacon, hop on the phone with local butchers or stores that do their own cuttings. Explain exactly what you said to us, European style bacon for an English breakfast. If they seem confused or put off, then move on to the next butcher. I know in my area, far away from you unfortunately, there was an increased interest in back bacon, so I know it is available in America if you do a little searching.

>>4602914
You are missing out. I don't know why Americans took our apple pies and other puddings but never savoury pies or pasties.

>>4602941
Forgive the colonials, they know not what they do. They even use the French pronunciation of fillet and herb. Poor devils.

>>4601720
Americans don't eat steamed puddings do they? I couldn't live without one of these.

i love black pudding

>>4602982
Or chocolate pudding.

>>4602993

>>4602997
Then there's the butt of every Americans jokes, Spotted dick.

>>4602491
Most people here grow up thinking that all cooking is supposed to be done by ConAgra. So few people know how to cook in America its astounding. Fattehs out in the sticks can probably deep fry you up a stick of butter, but thats about it.

I hear cajun folk are rather adept though.

>>4602973
Please tell me Brits don't pronounce it "fill-it".

>>4602999
It's the law that everyone must eat a Christmas pudding on Christmas. It is a fruit pudding that is made up to a year in advance and constantly topped with brandy or rum. This allows the flavours to mingle. A coin is usually put in it and the one who finds it gets good luck, assuming they don't choke to death. It is served with brandy cream. All of this alcohol gives it one of its best features....

>>4603023
fucking captcha, eating my image.

>>4603027
Gives it it's best feature.... It is usually set alight and then brought to the table in a great spectacle.

>>4603017
Yep, just like how it is spelt.
>calling a fillet a "feelay"

>>4603034
I... I don't believe you...

>>4603031
This is a great one. You make the suet base in the bowl, put sugar and brown sugar in, then put a lemon or two in after stabbing them, another layer of butter and brown sugar and then the top which becomes the base as it is made upside down. Put your foil on and then steamed for about 4 hours. Heavenly and oh so bad for you.

>>4603042
Of course, like pies, we have both sweet and savoury in tens of thousands of different flavours. Here is a steak pudding.

>>4602973
>criticizing for using French pronunciations
>still uses French spelling in every word to a far greater degree than we do with pronunciations

>>4603039
Habeeb it. What is so hard to understand about it? You use the French pronunciation and we use the English one, just one of those little differences between us.

>mfw I finally understood what the pun in chick-fill-a was.
I thought it originally had something to do with how it would fill you up.

>>4603054
>criticizing
Stop being so defensive m8. I was informing, not insulting.

>>4603046
God damn after looking for these images I'm craving a steak and kidney pudding.

>>4601720
>no one has posted a sausage roll

>>4601720
A Cornish pasty.

>>4603083
Looks like a pig in a blanket.

>>4603084
What's in this?

>>4601720
Toad in the hole. Sausages baked in the batter of a giant Yorkshire pudding.

>>4601720
Try and guess where the name star gazey pie comes from.

>>4602560
These were so fucking delicious.

>>4603089
it's a cornish pasty

>>4603101
I applaud your effort at being clever, but that isn't what I asked.

>>4603091
These are Yorkshire puddings in case you were wondering. They are a side to the traditional Sunday roast and are great four having gravy in them. Think of them like a mini edible bowl.

>>4603106
>tiny babby yorkshire puddings

>not making one big one and cutting it

>>4603089
>Looks like a pig in a blanket.
They are seasoned sausage rolls, sausage meat in puff pastry, a very common snack food and can be bought from petrol stations, bakeries or even frozen. I have heard Americans confused at this before. Pic related is what is known as pigs in blankets in the UK, sausages wrapped in streaky or American bacon.

>>4602333
faggot

>>4603109
Pigs in a blanket to us are the sausages in pastry dough.
I'm not aware of any name we have for sausage in bacon.

>>4603089
A Cornish pasty is a specific type of pasty. It is the most famous and is even has the same protection as champagne in EU law. A pasty is a parcel of pastry, sort of like a pie except meant to be portable. A Cornish pasty is filled with skirt steak, potato, swede and onion, with salt and pepper. They have to be made in Cornwall and with those exact ingredients by EU law or it is illegal to use the name Cornish pasty in all of the EU. Obviously we have thousands of different pasties but that specific one is the only protected one and is an important part of the Cornish cultural identity.

>>4603114

>>4603121
>A Cornish pasty is filled with skirt steak, potato, swede and onion, with salt and pepper.
That's all I wanted man.

>>4601720

>>4603130

Describe it.

>>4601720
Hot cross buns, traditionally eaten on Easter, a leftover from our more religious days.

>>4601720
A beef Wellington, one of our more well known and respected foods.

>>4601720
A pork pie.

>>4603139
>>4603141
Can you post at least brief descriptions of the food you're posting?

Especially the ones where it may not be immediately obvious?

>>4601720
Cheese on toast, a common snack. Just bread, cheese which is usually cheddar and a few drops of Worcester sauce then put under the grill until bubbly.

>>4603144

>>4603144

I assume you're posting these pictures to culturally enrich others.
But I still have no idea what the fuck that is. Is it Angel Food cake? pound cake? sponge cake?
And what's inside? The jam is obvious, but is that whipped cream? frosting? sour cream? beat eggwhites?

>>4603162
Queen Victoria, it has her name on the file name.

I'm British and I've never heard of this.

> head cheese
Oh god, top kek

Chicken/Turkey Pot Pies are pretty common way to use up leftover bird, but steak and kidney pies are crazy rare. And on a technicality, American's love savory pies, if the case of 56 different "flavors" of fucking Hot Pockets in the freezer section of my local grocery store have anything to say.

Sorry America but it's ours. Apple pie is British, so is baseball for that matter.

>>4603213
souse meat

>>4601720
Mince pies. Little sweet and spiced pies eaten at Christmas, they did originally have meat in them but as time went on it became less and less until it became what it is now. They were actually banned, along with Christmas, dancing, singing and all fun thing when we went full retard and got rid of our monarchy and became a republic. Thankfully people realised that was stupid and we became a monarchy again. Funny side effect of us becoming a republic, it caused half of Ireland to die.

>>4603248
Fucking hell, I don't know why it ate my pic.

>>4603239
I'm sorry?

>>4601720

i have no idea what half of those words mean. It is a sponge cake, jam and cream in the middle, dusted with icing sugar. You know I did individually label each and every image for the sake of others to find out what they are if they like the look.

You've got to be shitting me. Why is that a fucking thing? Why can't it just go on a plate?

That's a napkin ring dog. Doesn't matter if you weird fucks carry your toast in it.

>>4603324
>Why is that a fucking thing? Why can't it just go on a plate?
Enjoy your soggy toast from the steam rising up from the hot toast to the one stacked on it.

>>4603333

Are you having a giggle mate? Look at the size of the outside brim on that plate in the picture. It's colossal. Take the toast and lay them around the perimeter if you're that worried about it, plenty of room and no need to stack.
But before we even get there allow me to imply

>Letting your toast sit so long that it would get soggy from the steam
>Not eating your toast first

Having an entire piece of eatingware dedicated to holding fucking toast upright like it's a dishwasher rack just so you don't have to worry about it getting soggy is so fucking ludicrous I don't even know what to say. Like it's not hurting anything, but damn dude, that shit isn't necessary

>>4603353

Try Capela's down on Willamette, they might have your English Breakfast fixings. That's the only decent place in town to buy lamb, so they might have other, harder to find things, as well.

I, myself, am having trouble finding foie gras in this shitty town.
