  And if you were to say, for example, that pasta with tomato sauce is an Italian dish, I’d argue it’s not, as pasta was eaten across the whole Europe, and likely first added tomato happened in Britain.

  Bolognese sauce with pasta on the other hand would definitely be Italian dish. Do you see the distinction?

  Fair.

  Polish rosół is much more similar to French consomme than to ramen though. The stretch to ramen would be rather significant.

  I mean even scrambled eggs is too much for any Italian hotel or breakfast restaurant I’ve been to. Like literally as if they made it mediocre on purpose.

  They make good meat dishes (roasts, meat pies), but then they pair them with the most uninspiring sides…

  I mean… British were always shafted by their nobility. The land wasn’t known for fruits or sweet veggies, the rent in UK paid to the landlord was relatively high, so most peasants ate pickles, chutneys or different mushed veggies as sides.

  But has British food historically been good? No, it has not.

  Oh boy. You should Google that, because you couldn’t be more wrong.

  Well, turns out that for the past few hundred years me cooks were only the talented ones or those that had interest, while for women it was not a choice.

  Out of the food you mentioned only Beef Wellington and English Breakfast/Ulster Fry/ are uniquely British. Everything else is either not a dish (fried sausage and potatoes definitely is not a dish you philistine :P).

  Pork pies, fish and chips, roast, shepherds pie - it is eaten in Britain, but is not unique to them, as was historically eaten across the whole Europe (I mean it is fish and chips, it didn’t need “inventing”)

  Yeah, no, Italians can’t make breakfast for shit.

  Coffee and a cake does not breakfast make.
