I never understood the manufactured cuisine hate, in all honesty. Americans would melt upon trying English mustard.
It's because British people are just awful
Yeah, most of my cuisine hate stems from a yearning to bully anglos.
I feel like it's just classism
I think if anything Americans associate British people with wealth. I can't speak for anyone else but it genuinely looks very unappetizing to me in a way that most other country's cuisines (that I'm aware of/have been exposed to at least) don't.
To me, apart from the mystery yellow cube, it doesn't look too bad
We know what brown mustard is in the states, lol.
Edit: well, I do at least, but im sure most USians just buy French’s Yellow and call it a day.
I think they're referring to Colman's mustard, which has a heat kinda like wasabi paste.
Yeah which is delicious! Mellow flavors aren’t really my thing, Gimmie a punch in the mouth flavor bomb.
Most of the time i enjoy complex flavours, all lingering together. Other times i want one thing to absolutely annihilate my tastebuds.
get the powdered stuff and put it in ur beans soup
Goes great in gravy too
Oh yeah, the good stuff. Colman’s is everywhere in the US. It’s just usually used as a “cooking mustard” instead of a condiment. Popular, but not the most popular. Probably a victim of the variety obsession here.
Grew uo with Keen's, which is similar but not identical. Used to have multiple bottles on the table during family dinners.
there's been a big spike here in the states over the last decade where people have become massively invested in the visual "presentation" of food and it's sharing on social media.
my read is that some take photos of somewhat half-assed meals to poke fun at that trend, or be ironic. because I'll be honest, when I am making something just for myself and cutting a few corners, I don't care how it looks.
I find these sorts of pics funny as hell and appreciate them more than the curated "elevated" ones shared in the unironic foodie genre.
I also don't know exactly what any of that stuff is, but I would totally, excitedly eat all of it so long as it was warm and didn't smell like diarrhea on two turds next to a block of off cheese.
