English food can be described in one word-"simple". There are only two ways to make it: baking it in an oven or cooking it in a pot. When cooking, don't put seasoning. When eating, add some salt, pepper or mustard, spicy soy sauce and so on according to your personal preference. It is a respect for personal likes and dislikes, but it is inevitable to cut corners.

First, don't pay attention to eating. After all, the British are notoriously reluctant to eat. I don't want to talk about those dark dishes for the time being. I'm just talking about sweet cupcakes, greasy fish and chips, soft vegetables, mashed potatoes mixed with a lot of cream, which can make people feel bored through the screen. Speaking of the list of dark dishes in the catering industry, Britain is definitely the number 1 of the strength school. It seems that the words "Britain" and "gourmet" together are blasphemies against gourmet. In the west, there is a classic joke that is widely circulated: "Heaven is a British policeman, a German technician and a French chef; Hell is, German police, French technicians, British chefs. "

Second, simplicity is not simple. The traditional Scottish famous dish is actually a pudding made of chopped mutton offal. The preparation method is as follows: firstly, the stomach of sheep is hollowed out, chopped sheep viscera such as heart, liver and lungs are stuffed into it, and oats, onion, sheep oil, salt, spicy seasoning and broth are added, then bags are made and boiled in water for about three hours until they swell. When eating, the stomach bags of sheep are usually removed before serving, leaving only mutton offal for guests to enjoy. In fact, the British are particular about food. According to medieval English recipes, British aristocrats at that time ate a lot. Whether they fly in the sky, run on the ground or swim in the water, they can all be caught and made into Chinese food, such as chopping sparrows, roasting swans, burning antelopes, stewing dog meat, boiling sea eels, boiling dolphins and so on.

In the British kitchen, you can always refresh the lower limit of your knowledge of food. Most of the foreign students who came to Britain groped for a few days in the dark cooking world of the rotten country and were promoted to "kitchen gods". After all, "there is no cooking that you can't learn, only lazy people who are not greedy enough." This shows that Germans are really not greedy.
