To be fair, the Brown Sauce is actually pretty neat. But not in everyones taste tho.

The stew might be super tasty, but those white potatoes look bland as fuck. Throw them in an oven or skillet with some of that butter, get the edges a little crispy, sprig of whatever herbs were used in the stew, and they will be much better.

I’m not talking about the stew. I mean the bottle on the upper center of the picture.

Me too. Except in a hotel in Scotland but my condition was the same. They don’t sell that stuff in supermarkets in my country, but we have the internet for that.

I moved to a different state and went to a couple stores before I found it. Definitely scattered popularity in the states.

What is that? Potatoes with a side of stew on a plate?

Nearly - minced beef in gravy with some chopped vegetables thrown in (usually peas and carrots), next to boiled potatoes (that are usually mashed up).

Some parts of the UK have bread and butter as a side with everything.

It is a hearty dinner mind - it’s not flashy or instagram-ready, but it is tasty and fills you up.

Rationing lasted until the mid-50s and left a lasting impression on people’s diets. It’s taken decades to recover socially, mainly with the aid of foreign cuisine.

Indian immigrants are the MVPs 👍

At first, I thought that you declared Indian immigrants as a minimum viable product. After some googling I guess it’s meant to be most valuable players. Small but significant difference. 😂

I mean, we had rationing in Italy too, but you don’t see people struggling to make a passing meal here. I’m pretty sure we were also much poorer than the British both going into and coming out of WW2

If you’re going to boil them at least throw some cream and chives on?

Savory mince is simultaneously one of the best and worst meals I’ve ever had in my life. When its done right its amazing, when its bad its proper fucking garbage.

Which culinary pleb made that? At least bang the taters in the stew while it cooks.

The way they censored the name is a new low point. Usually, you at least need to look for a few seconds, but this is just plain readable.

This reminds me of that post

“Is British food really that bad?”

“If made correctly, Yes”
