        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’ve never had a Kiwi pie, but I’d like to hope you’ve toured around the regions and based your opinion on country bakery pies or on-point roadhouse pies rather than the standard city servo fair.

                  I managed to find one good sausage roll at the Southbank market one time (lived there for 8 years and was actively seeking out acceptable sausage rolls and pies the whole time), I blew the mind of the guy selling it by suggesting he should make some with bacon and cheese in the sausage meat.

                  I’m feeling a bit defensive about UK food in this thread, but it’s undeniably true that our sausage rolls are an absolute embarrassment. Supermarkets predictably are the worst – gristly flavourless meat in anaemic half-baked pastry. Same goes for pasties.

          When you say “American breakfast,” we do have that sometimes, but what it actually consists of and the quality (e.g. type of bacon or sausage, how the eggs are cooked) varies widely. Where I live, breakfast tacos are much more common than the stereotypical American breakfast though

            I’m not even sure a “stereotypical American breakfast” even exists in 2026.

            My go-to is a breakfast sandwich on a toasted bagel
