    Beans on toast is pretty mid but it is very cheap and very easy to make. However it's kind of is the starting point for a a bigger breakfast. Add a fried egg or some scrambled egg and it raises it, add some sausages and or bacon and again it ramps up the dish and then add in some black pudding some mushrooms/fried tomato and you basically have a full English.
    Beans on toast by itself is never a go to for me, it's a I have limited time energy and I want something hot sort of meal; I typically will add a little cheese to the beans though.

    I live in Alexandria in Egypt, the only Asian people I’ve seen here is an Indonesian family that runs an Indonesian restaurant (Indonesian food is so good btw) and one Korean at the passport office a year ago. My husband and I went a few months ago to this sushi restaurant that only had Egyptians working and eating there, but the food was INSANELY delicious!!! I think it’s unfair to judge an ethnic restaurant just because there aren’t any workers/costumers from that ethnicity there (I.e if there are little to no people from that ethnicity in your country) But I can see how it can be an indicator

    • @aegis3141

      We can't judge the deliciousness of an ethnic restaurant just from the ethnicity of the workers or such,because every place have a different palate so usually ethnic restaurant abroad have a tendency to cater to their locality.
      But if your aim is authenticity,then going to a place frequented by expats might be good.

    A lot of food in the American South is "hard times" food (Great Depression, Slavery, Civil War, etc.) but it is *amazing* ! Why is the UK's so bad? Maybe it's the British "make due" attitude. Even a starving American looks at what he scraped together and thinks "how can I make this better." British parents during the Blitz, "Well children, I guess we're eating boiled cardboard again for supper, and by God were going to like it!"
    Also though, beans are not a bad thing. I'm a Texan. We have beans as a main course. A huge pot of cowboy beans (w/ a chunk of bacon, a hambone, or some kind of salty meat to add flavor) with cornbread on the side is heaven.
    Also, also, good refried beans are *the* mark of quality Tex-Mex food. You might enjoy other things more, but if they get the beans right...😗👌. You know you're in the right place.

      Yes, but then the blitz ended just like American hard times. We took field greens that our grandparents *had* to eat, and added bacon grease and all kinds of other wonderful things. We took the poor cuts of meat which were practically sold as scrap at the time, and later turned them into an artform.
      In Britain, your granparents *had* to eat jellied eel, so...you guys just keep making and eating jellied eel.
      Eventually, the hard times that necessitate certain foods are over and you can elevate the barely edible into something truly great.

      To clarify, your comment originally was asking why didn’t people in the UK make their food better during the blitz, and the answer is because of rationing. Not because of their “make do” attitude, or because they’re not blessed with starving American culinary skills.
      Just to add, you took your meat, and didn’t turn it into an artform but a continuously capitalistic, and deregulated market where there are 35% more salmonella outbreaks in that pork you talk about over the recent decade. “Bacon grease added to beans”, from American Pork that’s banned in 160 other countries.
      If countries “hard times” necessitate certain foods, then what do “good times” show? American Good Times, turned food into processed junk food, and a obesity epidemic.
