      Actually most British food originated from the absolute lower class who couldn’t afford much food so they worked with what they had this is good cuz it means that they are all quick simple recipes that are almost impossible to mess up. Also England is terrible the weather is terrible the government is terrible and the school system is terrible. Sucky food is the least of our problems. Ps small tip or mushy peas ad some salt and mix it in then try it it is fab.

    The whole “butty” “toasty” thing is based on region. Cheese Toasty is universal cause you toast it, but for buttys they don’t necessarily need to be toasted so in some places it’s a “butty” in others it’s a “cob” or a “bap” or one of the other random names we give to bread, some places it’s just a sandwich.

    As an Italian who went to university in the UK and lived there for a whole decade... this was heart-warmingly hilarious! Actually traditional British country cooking is good, but very few people actually cook it, or even know the recipes in the UK. I was lucky to have a friend whose mother, who lived in Yorkshire, was an amazing cook and introduced me to some of the best traditional English dishes (all made from scratch, with fresh ingredients). I also had a neighbour during my time in London who was a very good cook and she cooked me some more traditional British recipes. But apart from these two women, all the Brits I've knows were either not very good cooks or had learnt to make stuff which isn't British at all.

      Marmite stinks of decomposing corpses, Satan's vomit and excrement all mixed together. British savoury meals are some of the most blandest; the only seasoning they use is salt and ground black pepper, even then they make the grave error of adding salt and pepper after the food is cooked. In order to create IMMENSELY pleasurable food you need the following basic ingredients: Chillies, variety of spices, ginger, garlic, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and salt.

    A toastie is made using a toastie machine- a sandwich is not the same as a toastie. Calling something a sandwich would imply it was made using untoasted bread, with a couple of exceptions. Toasties only earn their nomenclature through their baptism à la toastie machine.
    A butty is usually made using un-toasted bread or a bread roll. If toasted bread (toast) is used, it’s made using a toaster not the toastie machine, hence the difference. Butty and sandwich are generally interchangeable.
    However, I find 'butty' is usually preferred when preparing breakfast items, such as a bacon butty/bap or a sausage butty/bap. Lunch items are normally referred to using 'sandwich', like a ham or chicken sandwich.

      @@NavyPheonix The little research I've just done suggests that the pilgrims in North American colonies originally ate savoury meat-based pies based on recipes that they brought over from England, and for whatever reason over time they fell out of favour while sweet pies became more popular. I also don't agree a market for mutton would be important in driving a meat pie industry, meat pies can be made from any meat (or meat substitutes for vegetarians) and here in Australia beef is the most common used.
      As for sausage rolls it's just ground meat with seasoning & other mix-ins wrapped in puff pastry in the form of a log, it just gets its name from the fact that ground meat with seasoning & other mix-ins is typically called sausage meat. As with pies they are very versatile and can be made from any kind of meat/meat substitutes, I've even made them using canned salmon to great success, so I don't agree that the typical kind of sausages people eat over there really matters. I also don't think that pigs in blankets would have had anything to do with it, they're fairly different to a traditional sausage roll and their existence in other countries like UK and Australia hasn't affected its popularity.
      Considering the versatility, ease of making and convenience of both it just baffles me how they aren't popular over there.

      My ususal method is to use the minimum amount of butter required to toast two pieces of bread lightly on both sides. I toast what will become the inner sides first, flip one over and put two slices of cheese on the now hot, toasted bread, and then put the other toasted side on top of the cheese. The cheese is already melting by this point, and you just have to use enough butter to toast the outer sides to your liking. Or you can even substitute butter for something healthier like olive or coconut oil.
      bonus points if you do any of the following:
      • add your favorite deli meat in between the cheese slices (break it up just a little so the cheese can melt between it and still hold everything together during flipping)
      • use cheese that's especially melty, like havarti or muenster
      • add a pickle slice for crunch

      I'm an American who has somewhat adopted beans on toast. It's good on days when you have a lot of shit to get done, but can spare just enough time for a food you can't eat one-handed. I ate loads of beans on toast in college and law school.

      @@erraticonteuse This is it. It's not so much a national treasure, more just a simple cheap meal, a lot of us had it growing up so it can remind you of home, and you soon learn you can't afford nice meals every day if you're in education etc. You start Uni doing toast, and when you can nail not burning it, they let you use the big boy pot on a hob and get some beans on the go. Same as pot noodles. It's a cheap meal ready to eat in a couple minutes. It makes sense. Would you find spaghetti hoops on toast also strange or? It's just cheap shit that comes in a tin, lasts a long time and having it on toast is nicer than having it on it's own.
      Compare the breakfasts for example, I find it very strange that some of you guys will have a similar breakfast to we do, eggs bacon sausage etc, which I strongly approve of. But then you'll have a pile of pancakes in the middle, and then pour maple syrup on EVERYTHING. I would think pancakes or waffles and syrup are more of a dessert.

      @@Josh-jy6hg I still wouldn't eat beans on toast for breakfast, but for me the purpose is a good balance between kCal, carbs, and price. There's no need to put spaghetti hoops on toast, spaghetti hoops are already mostly carbs. But beans are mostly protein, so boosting them with a bit of bread is fine. That said, proper Heinz beans (as opposed to American baked beans which have loads of sugar in them) are harder to find and cost more than spaghetti hoops (or Spaghetti-Os), so they lose out in America in the low-cost, low-carb arena.

    Butty is only one of many slang terms for sandwich in different regions. I never heard it called a butty until I moved up north. Also, the reason a toastie is called a toastie is because IT IS TOASTED. Most sandwiches/buttys aren't toasted. The toastie is basically a bit like the American grilled-cheese but uses a toastie maker, which is kinda like a George Foreman grill made for sandwiches.
    And other thing, our bigs in blankets here are much better than the American version - it is literally a sausage wrapped in bacon. I'm surprised that Americans haven't stolen that one.
    As for the rest, only beans on toast, pies (in various forms and with various fillings) and toad in the hole are really eaten much, and they're all pretty good. Beans on toast is great - many students basically live on it because they spend the majority of their student loans on alcohol and this provides a very cheap, yet nutritious meal.
