Does that mean you think beans on toast is weird?

Yes. I think it's a staple diet only in the UK. 

Mind you, when I eat a full English breakfast I shovel beans on my toast with the scrambled eggs. But as a main meal, no.

Living the (unemployed) dream...

I was never a fan of beans on toast on its own, but cheese and beans on toast was a staple meal as a teenager when both parents were working evening shifts.

I had a spam fritter a few years ago really horrible tasteless and greasy how we ate that crap back in the day. 😆 Crisps I liked as a kid I find repugnant now Frazzles are one but the worst in my opinion are Quavers which taste like cardboard that someone has rubbed their feet on.

Last time i had it must be 40 years ago. was replaced by corned beef, then eventually i got a wife who introduced me to ham.

 
Don’t understand the snobbery around food (each to their own and all that). Also how foreigners look down on food in this country…must be going to the wrong places because with immigration, you have pretty much all you can ask for…(especially in major cities). admittedly standards of pizza, Chinese and Thai food can vary a lot more here but just find a restaurant that has a lot of good reviews…if you go to big standard chains, of course it’s going to be a bit meh.

l’ve eaten all kinds of cuisine from your expensive fine dining to your basic stuff. Sometimes a good baked beans on toast with cheese on top or a fry up is just the ticket. Yum, yum.

i remember going to london with my school when i was like 16 and we walked through this neighbourhood where there were like 15 indian restaurants in the same street and they all tried to lure us in haha. And they had these closed water bottles on the tables and served really hot food and then delayed the drinks and when the bottles were opened they charged for the bottles haha

Water is no good for spice - you need something fatty (so a raita for example in an Indian restaurant made with yoghurt etc) as it coats the mouth!

The company may have decided to start saving on potatoes as they developed 🙂 But it's quite possible that your tastes have simply changed - that's normal. I, too, loved milk when I was a kid, but now I can't stand it.🤢

Saw this on Twitter each to their own but that American breakfast looks disgusting presumably they put maple syrup on those pancakes 🤔 and I have no idea what that on the left is. Bit heavy on the tomatoes.
