Its still weird to me how English breakfast is (that much of) a thing.
Like a couple of centuries ago for the difference in the sheer standard of living, sure, maybe at that point it was luxurious in terms of ingredients alone, ... but still?
English breakfast is like the only decent thing to come out of that place
Which isn't a high bar, but I agree with you.
Bri'ish food isn't that bad, I mean the yanks deep fry butter for god sake.
Yanks do? If anything that would be more of a southern thing, but I don't think its a common thing anywhere other than as fair food or something
It even isn't really a southern thing, its an attention grabber for capital. No one eats or thinks of deep fried butter save for those that go to fairs and get it waved in their face.
Yeah that's what I figured
Fried butter is like a novelty fair food over here, it's not a real dish.
Blood pudding in the UK, on the other hand . . .
Edit: also I'm pretty sure Scotland would deep fry tf out of some butter
Blood sausage isn't just a UK thing, variations are found in pretty much every cuisine that eats meat. And it's not even like its super popular in the UK, its very often not even included in a full English breakfast.

Black pudding is fucking delicious, you're missing out
I didn't say it wasn't. Fried butter is also delicious. I was just making a comment as to the availability of the dishes in their respective countries.
You don’t like Fish and Chips?
English food is fine as long as it is not prepared by the English.
It's because the alternative is "continental breakfast" which consists of a few slices of warm ham, tiny slices of bread and a bunch of fruit that's already on the turn.
That's why I'm sticking with alpine/Austrian breakfast: Real bread (Google "Schwarzbrot"), real cereals (a mix of oats, dried fruits and nuts, with hot milk) or Sterz (a breakfast made from ground maize, couldn't find a translation) with apples and raisins. Depends on how much time I have and what I'm doing on that day (before a long hike or a long day of skiing Sterz is the best).
I think Polenta is internationally more well known. Sterz is similar to Polenta.
Good point. They're the same, the difference lies in how you continue after cooking it.
Way to gatekeep. 🙄
Sometimes, it's good to gatekeep. @pumpkinseedoil is correct on this one
Not even one bit. Fluffy bread is superior in every way in my opinion. And eating raw oats is just nasty.
I guess it was named so during the early 40s.
