Those appear to be Canadian Smarties. As an American I wash my hands of this whole affair, good day sir.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And the chicken isn't even fried. What a joke.

Once they cross the border, they're Minnesotan, it's okay

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where can you buy Canadian Smarties in Minnesota? And do they sell all dressed chips too? Because I have no idea and I want some all dressed chips, lol.

The right half looks like something the Dutch would eat.

[–] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

wdym "would?"that's literally breakfast.

I thought it was only on toast, not pizza.

I mean, yeah, but that's so much better. Sure, our food sucks, but it sucks in such an elevated way that it's almost an art form. British food seems like it was made by a guy desperately trying to put together a meal from ingredients he bought at a gas station. American cuisine seems like it was made by a chef who is losing his sanity to Lovecraftian horrors beyond our comprehension. The world looks at beans and toast and laughs at how pathetic it is.They look upon the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco and weep, for they now know there is no God.

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 9 points 3 months ago (4 children)

People who laugh at beans on toast haven’t tried beans on toast. At least not with English baked beans.

[–] Wrench@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Eh. I've had it, and it was fine. I've had the meat heavy full breakfast version too, and it was fine.

Certainly nothing I miss after leaving, nor something to avoid while there.

5/10, bland but sufficient.

I've never had them, so I can't comment on their taste, but aesthetically, it looks like a dish you'd be served in a Soviet prison.

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

There are several dozen YouTube videos of exactly this and it almost never goes over well. I’ve seen like two non British try been a and toast and go “that’s not as bad as I expected”. None of them praised it or would seek it out, it just didn’t immediately make them hurl.

OP’s pic is just the British way of saying “our national pastime is watching dry paint dry, and we’re most pleased to say that we’re rather proud of that fact!”

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

To be fair, I think their actual national pastime is Cricket, which is significantly more boring.

You all nag about how Americans have no food culture of their own, that they just steal and adapt other countries' foods. Then when you see true American creation and innovation, you reel back in fear and disgusting. Cowards!

[–] don@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

It’s the British we’re talking about. Anything other than fish and chips, mushy peas, or bubble and squeak is a bit too aggressive for their traditionally unrefined tastes. The poor sods basically had to be forcefully introduced to anything other than boring.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn't this a Brazilian thing? There are million things to pick from that would actually be American and arguably some things more disgusting than this

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn’t this a Brazilian thing?

Everything is American once we get our grubby little hands on it.

No dish is complete without refined corn products.

Bitch nobody puts bone-in on a pizza.

Who the hell puts grapes on pizza? 🤨

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's a whole green olive... But still.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 months ago

The countable pixels and questionable color accuracy of the image mean that could definitely be a white grape. Which I would infinitely prefer over a whole green olive. I would eat the grape, even though it's weird on pizza. I'd take that olive right off, or maybe eat around it.

Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Even if we ate this we still have room to talk about beans on toast.

Take yer chip butty and go back to believing whatever your instagram feeds tell you, consoled by the fact that yer mushy peas and jellied eel are are the pinnacle of civiliz(s)ed cuisine.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Rebuttal: jellied eels.

Your move, Britain.

The metric system is a tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I would like to clarify:

There is no piss inside beans/toast that needs to be extracted.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is the piss just on top then?

Save the grape for me.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah; because this isn't bland. It's extra AF.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (9 children)

If your beans and toast are bland that's a you issue. Learn to spice beans or but better beans, I kinda imagine you slapping plain boiled lima beans on a slab of dry rye and wondering what the hype is about.

The unfried crust and/or lack of a cheese like petroleum derivative ring in the periphery is unamerican

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I see no problem with this pizza.

[–] korny@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I can't stand all they stuff they add on top of the chicken bones. Such a hard time picking it all up before I start crunching on some ribs.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (6 children)

I used to shit on British food until I discovered marmite. No offense to the British but the Australians do it better. Y'all are a close second though.

As long as it's stuffed crust.

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Listen. If you separate the dessert side, and debone and shred that chicken, I would 100% try the bite with the grape on it.

Eating like they've got Universal Healthcare!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Well, I'm sure it's not a Brazilian pizza because the chicken would be cut in small pieces here... And there is way too little tomato and olives.
