Did you cook that using your camera flash?

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 54 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Left it out until there was a break in the clouds

Gotta take it in before that UV hits it. What if it accidentally developed some color or flavor?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

I was going to say something but this is way better.

This looks like someone was afraid they might accidentally cook something.

[–] CelloMike@lemmy.world 111 points 5 days ago (7 children)

I meannnn

Brit here, all the elements are correct but jeez please cook all of that for at least twice as long

[–] JillSteinsPuckeredAnus@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (7 children)

Nobody visits England for the food.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 32 points 5 days ago (17 children)

Well no, people visit the UK to experience our culture and history.

When they arrive they are often pleasantly surprised that our food is actually quite good.

A proper fried breakfast with quality meats and good sundries beats an american breakfast hands down. Proper back bacon instead of that crispy streaky shit Americans eat, proper sausages instead of those shitty little cat turd "links", toast made from thick cut bread from a real bakery (or baked on site). God tier.

I challenge anyone to eat a proper shortcrust pastry meat pie made with slow cooked beef in a rich beer/red wine gravy with vegetables and chips and come away thinking it isn't anything other than delicious (unless they dont like pies....)

I love English food. All of the British Isles do pub food to die for, especially in colder weather.

Mate they’ve obviously boiled this long enough. All the colours gone

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 11 points 5 days ago

Mostly we just want to be sure it's dead.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 8 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Needs mushrooms still I think. Or fried tomatoes, or black pudding if you are feeling fancy.

everything on that plate looks like it should be boiled for a little bit longer.

Is it so pale because of the lack of sun?

[–] cobn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 4 days ago

Even the bread was boiled to prevent browning.

[–] WandowsVista@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

are they aware that the great war has ended?

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 56 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I'm convinved that this post is some kind of bait.

Man the energy crisis has hit UK hard; they’re only half toasting their toast and parcooking their food.

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago

It looks like they used the egg to protect the rest of the food from the heat.

[–] chattre@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

ragebait? I'm not even British this food just looks like it was intentionally cooked in the worst ways possible

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Ah, so you're familiar with British culinary principles then..

[–] Son_of_Macha@lemmy.cafe 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Did you microwave that 🤢

Maillard would be very upset with the lack of caramalisation and browning on any of this supposedly fried food.

Have you thought of cooking it?

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

Does it fuck. We'd at least cook it first.

I mean that’s the literal raw ingredients yeah.

[–] PragmaticOne@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Hahaha in your house maybe :D

[–] joe_archer@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

The mere fact there are 3 "sausages" but only one rasher of bacon tells me this person has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 19 points 5 days ago

Cooked with a withering glare.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

It really isn’t. Please do not

[–] Skrapz101@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That looks so undercooked, where's the tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and hash browns?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 5 days ago

By the look of that egg, it seems to have taken all the heat for itself, leaving the other protiens in the cold.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The cuisine of England led their people to become the best sailors in the world.

When you add beans to the plate for some color...

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

British people will only complain that there isn't enough

[–] melancholia@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago
[–] SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Where's the fried bread, where's the buttered toast, where's the fried tomatoes, where's the rest of the bacon, why are the sausages raw? For some, the black pudding and hash-browns seem to be missing.

I'm offended and grossed, but I upvoted because that's about right.

[–] rangber@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

The sausages:

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Take the egg off the plate (probably best to fry a new one)

Throw the whole plate under a high broiler for 2 minutes

Return the egg
