yessss thankyou
working class british food is good and anyone who cant appreciate the conditions it was born from really does need to check their privileges i think.
i love hearing about the origins of food and knowing that something, that i may not even personally enjoy, was able to bring people through hard times and i think, i love hearing about people finding clever ways to stretch what little they have so it can feed more, or learning about how scarce foods were preserved long enough to last far longer than they would otherwise, or finding ways to use "undesirable" ingredients because its still perfectly fine. this stuff is absolutely worth respect and even celebration!
i love the smack barm pea wet meme and the wigan kebab. i think its a bit funny to put a whole pie on a bun. at the same time though, if i was cold, tired and hungry and had some spare change? well its warm and filling, and doesnt taste bad at all. It's a humble little meal that could keep me going for a while, thats all it needs to be.
sorry u just kinda hit on a peeve of mine, i really hate when people disparage food that historically belongs to people who only had so much to work with.
Yeah, I’m already bored of the “Ahhh but other poor people from completely different countries had access to other ingredients and made globally recognised tastier food so you’re wrong” responses.
