Those appear to be Canadian Smarties. As an American I wash my hands of this whole affair, good day sir.

No it's okay - they got that rotisserie from the gas station.

Once they cross the border, they're Minnesotan, it's okay

Where can you buy Canadian Smarties in Minnesota? And do they sell all dressed chips too? Because I have no idea and I want some all dressed chips, lol.

Aldi periodically stocks them as an Aldi Find. Probably the closest thing readily available in the US is Zapp's Voodoo - it's not the same, but it scratches the same sort of itch.

I thought it was only on toast, not pizza.

I mean, yeah, but that's so much better. Sure, our food sucks, but it sucks in such an elevated way that it's almost an art form. British food seems like it was made by a guy desperately trying to put together a meal from ingredients he bought at a gas station. American cuisine seems like it was made by a chef who is losing his sanity to Lovecraftian horrors beyond our comprehension. The world looks at beans and toast and laughs at how pathetic it is.They look upon the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco and weep, for they now know there is no God.

OP’s pic is just the British way of saying “our national pastime is watching dry paint dry, and we’re most pleased to say that we’re rather proud of that fact!”

To be fair, I think their actual national pastime is Cricket, which is significantly more boring.

People who laugh at beans on toast haven’t tried beans on toast. At least not with English baked beans.

Eh. I've had it, and it was fine. I've had the meat heavy full breakfast version too, and it was fine.

Certainly nothing I miss after leaving, nor something to avoid while there.

5/10, bland but sufficient.

10

You seem to be ignorant of the subject matter. Google "full english breakfast".

5

I've never had them, so I can't comment on their taste, but aesthetically, it looks like a dish you'd be served in a Soviet prison.

7

There are several dozen YouTube videos of exactly this and it almost never goes over well. I’ve seen like two non British try been a and toast and go “that’s not as bad as I expected”. None of them praised it or would seek it out, it just didn’t immediately make them hurl.

Isn't Heinz their favorite brand for beans on toast? I think they just like the tomatoey sauce.

Isn't this a Brazilian thing? There are million things to pick from that would actually be American and arguably some things more disgusting than this

Everything is American once we get our grubby little hands on it.

You all nag about how Americans have no food culture of their own, that they just steal and adapt other countries' foods. Then when you see true American creation and innovation, you reel back in fear and disgusting. Cowards!

It’s the British we’re talking about. Anything other than fish and chips, mushy peas, or bubble and squeak is a bit too aggressive for their traditionally unrefined tastes. The poor sods basically had to be forcefully introduced to anything other than boring.

On my fuckin life, and my YEEEZY, if I pay for this pizza and my shit's delivered bone-in, it's a wrap for y'all

The countable pixels and questionable color accuracy of the image mean that could definitely be a white grape. Which I would infinitely prefer over a whole green olive. I would eat the grape, even though it's weird on pizza. I'd take that olive right off, or maybe eat around it.

Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Chocolate on pizza is a south american thing, I've never seen it in the US.

I've seen chocolate chip "pizza" before but it's just chocolate chip cookie baked in a circular pan and cut up like pizza.

Take yer chip butty and go back to believing whatever your instagram feeds tell you, consoled by the fact that yer mushy peas and jellied eel are are the pinnacle of civiliz(s)ed cuisine.

I would like to clarify:

There is no piss inside beans/toast that needs to be extracted.

It’s the British. Everything is piss to them. It’s their fetish.

I can't stand all they stuff they add on top of the chicken bones. Such a hard time picking it all up before I start crunching on some ribs.

If your beans and toast are bland that's a you issue. Learn to spice beans or but better beans, I kinda imagine you slapping plain boiled lima beans on a slab of dry rye and wondering what the hype is about.

You're aware plain beans are the stereotypical cowboy food.

Where did the beans touch you.

Cowboys were quite literally in the middle of nowhere with nothing but beans. What's the British excuse? "Oh, my great grandmother cooked this in the blitz, and we forgot rationing ended decades ago".

Literally surrounded by beef and lamb dude hence the cow part of cowboy.

You say the was reasoning thing like it's not a thing, there are tons of ersatz recipes directly related to rationing.

You're just being obtuse to be obtuse.

Are you under the impression that cowboys eat the herd they're driving? No, those are for other people.

I used to shit on British food until I discovered marmite. No offense to the British but the Australians do it better. Y'all are a close second though.

Wait are you actually saying Vegemite is better than Marmite?

What a weird take.

My British dad agreed that Vegemite is better.

I think both of them taste god-awful and people who like either of them get the side-eye from me. Including my dad.

How do you spread vegemite on toast though? It's like trying to smear polyfilla.
With Marmite, hell you can practically drink it in some temperatures.

1

You don't. You spread Marmite on toast and you feed Vegemite to the bin chickens.

2

Well, I'm sure it's not a Brazilian pizza because the chicken would be cut in small pieces here... And there is way too little tomato and olives.
