If you live in a hub city like london, manchester or edinburgh then you won't experience this. Go out into the country or a town in the north and you'll see it everywhere.
My office is in a relatively remote suburban/country town. People can be really weird about "posh" food, in the same way that brits in general are averse to posh-anything. It's another way the class wars manifest.
Hell maybe it's even worse in scotland
German food is the wurst.
My wife is Brazilian and when she cooks we are having rice and beans with everything. Steak, potato, salad, rice and beans. Hamburger, fries, rice and beans.Sounds like my Puerto Rican mama, red beans and rice with many things.
Beans, mushrooms, and tomatoes are a typical breakfast? No.
I sense my UK brethren are gonna be up in arms about this but frankly I agree.Kind of, yeah.
The issue isn't that good food doesn't exist in the UK. Of course it does. And good food culture exists too of course, if you look for it.
The issue is that - historically and in a general culture sense -brits are ANTI food culture. Like we are collectively embarrassed about good food.
We are probably the only country in the world where you take something nice and homemade into the office and someone calls you a tosser for it. Like la di da, look at Mr fancy pants over here with his sourdough bread.
Yeah, people really get like this. I've stopped talking about what I make for lunch because I'm tired of being called a wanker because my lunch isn't a 3 microwave ready meal from tescos.
Pfft. That's not even a Greggs. That's a superior sausage roll from somewhere like Waitrose or M&S.
Also, y'all acting like huevos rancheros, which has beans, isn't a typical breakfast for some. Or in other Latin American dishes
