The very best classic British foods ranked (sweet & savoury)

Anything with a runny yolk is the tool of Satan!
Also, seriously, Victoria Sponge at the top? The blandest cake known to man? It's low tier at best, same for Crumpets!
Shepherds pie is, traditionally, either. Cottage pie is beef because some areas of the country differentiate for some mad reason.
i haven't had one yet like that, but i imagine it being pretty damn good!
if victoria sponge and roast beef is the common idea of top tier cultural food in the UK then the stereotypes are correct
i know you all have better taste than that

I have had a lot of bad black puds in cafes, that's probably why. They're awesome when done well though
The crap tier savory list is proof that they gave this task to a Sun-reading Brexiteer ingrate who thinks cheese is too spicy and complains about EU banana regulations that don't exist.
Black pudding and Steak and Kidney pudding are literally the two best savories on the list and the fact that he didn't include black pudding as a sandwich essential also proves he is worse than Hitler. Haggis being in crap tier is literally racist.
And no Eton Mess.
Trash list.

There are a lot of regional foods in the UK, so it makes sense the non regional foods all end up on top, though in reality the non regionals probably are not most popular anywhere.
At least the French, Germans, etc. have good classic sweet foods. Poor Brits.
Chicken tikka masala in the UK is itself quite bland, remade to suit British tastes.

Shepherd's pie is one of the greatest dishes ever. It's especially good because anyone can make it, for next to nothing, so long as you can get your hands on some lamb. Cottage pie is good too, just go with a 85% fat beef. That feels and tastes the closest to ground lamb to me.
Crumpets are NOT god tier. They're so extremely basic and most are too dry that they necessitate a metric ton of butter or jam. Same with scones. Both C tier. Madeira cake and Welsh cake too low, Eton Mess wishes it was top tier. My God there's so many more wrong things with this list.
Yeah how the fuck you gonna disrespect the beef welly with low tier. Get it together.
Chicken tikka masala was invented in the UK, and there's a lot of discussion over whether it was made in Scotland or England by immigrants from India.
It seems it has a bit of an unknown origin, but I can't imagine it existing without westernizing South Asian ingredients by way of British India. I'm not a historian by any means, but I guess I liken it to American Chinese food, which also has a bad rap due to harmful history as a result of westernization.
Yeah I'll be in the lookout for specialty shops and not just grabbing it randomly from a menu somewhere, just to make sure I get an accurate experience.
Not really a big fan of seafood but I'm sure I can ask without eel. :P
Lol @ all the American's ITT complaining about the blandness of our food yet eat the largest most stodgiest shit that would cause a bull elephant to bloat.
Also, this is the most anti-Scottish shit I have ever seen. Tikka Masala being mid-tier is fucking disgusting.

Half of those aren't even real food items. They sound like food items someone would make up to make fun of Britain.
Bangers and mash is way over-rated. I'd put it in the 70% range, and elevate cornish pastry. I like scotch eggs and pork pie. I'm indifferent to black pudding. I've never had hagis and I don't know if I could, but I'd try anything once.
This probably isn't strictly British/Irish/Scottish, but puff pastry with corned beef in it is fucking delicious, esp with some spicy mustard. FUCK I'd eat it now.
