Some people say that if there was a book in the world called Brits Teach You to Cook, it would be blank.

Someone else drew a cartoon of what people in France, Germany, Italy and the UK would say before a meal. The first three countries say things like, "Delicious!" Only the British say, "Never mind", and that's it...

While there are, objectively speaking, some great dishes on British soil, that doesn't overshadow the ones that cleverly avoid color and flavor.

Take the following:

As you can see from the red plaid of the tablecloth, this dish is from Scotland, and is said to be the country's "national dish".

This dish is made with sheep's stomach, sheep's heart, sheep's lungs, and sheep's liver, and judging by the ingredients alone, it's supposed to taste even more disgusting than it looks.

How does this make one's mouth ...

In English, it is called Black pudding, which translates to black pudding. The main ingredient is animal blood, with some meat and fat mixed in.

I can smell the blood through the screen...

You can interpret this dish as a mooncake stuffed with beef and cashews, as it is made by adding these fillings to a puff pastry and baking it in the oven.

Who said the British don't eat animal offal? Step forward!

They eat offal to Chinese people are scared okay!

This dish is considered to be the top one of the British dark cuisine, which has been blackened enough in recent years. It's called Stargazy pie, and we must remember that if we see it in a British bistro in the future, don't be confused by the name!

The specialty of this dish is that the head and tail of the fish should be exposed, looking up at a 45-degree angle at the starry sky. It's said that not only does this look good, but it also allows the baked fish oil to flow back into the pie.

The fishy flavor of the fish flows back into the pie so well....

We have to admire the British thinking, looking at the pair of dead fish eyes, but also came up with the "45-degree angle looking up at the stars" so Guo Jingming things.

This dish has a long history in Britain, originating in the 18th century and first appearing in the East End of London.

Eel fillets are placed in a pot and cooked with vinegar. As the eel cooks, the gelatin in the fish causes the soup to thicken, creating the eel jelly you see today.

It looks sour and tastes even more sour. I think it doesn't go down as well as straight eel sashimi...

This dish is slightly less spicy than the previous ones, but it has its own unique feature - it actually has a whole lemon in it!

I wonder why the Brits would want to hide a lemon in their pudding, and whether the lemon flavor would seep through the thick skin. And what do people do with the lemon, chew it or slice it up and soak it in water?

The British "cuisine" is always puzzling, and it feels like the best thing the British can do is to use the best ingredients to make a difficult meal.

Although these British dark dishes look disgusting, we should not be too disappointed in British cuisine. After all, they do have some normal dishes:

For example, there are plenty of choices for fried cod and chips, fried skate and chips, fried plaice and chips...
