      Is it? The comic shows various prepared main dishes and then compares them to a cheap canned breakfast. I’m not sure if there is a point.

          The sauce the beans are in is basically just ketchup. You’re using American spelling and pretending that you hate ketchup flavour. I don’t believe you.

              It’s not ketchup, it’s just made by Heinz. Pretty sure they made other stuff before they made ketchup.

              It’s not as sweet as ketchup, it’s a bit runnier with a stronger tomato (not sugar sweet) flavour. It’s balanced 50/50 savoury sweet:

              Tomato Sauce (51%) [Tomatoes (29%), Water, Sugar, Salt, Maize Thickener (1422), Food Acids (260, 330), Flavours], Navy Beans (49%). May Contain: Soy

              When on toast, you can load up the toast for the ratio you like. It’s honestly fine.

                I’m not a fan of it on it’s own, but if you add actual spices and herbs to it and some cheese then put it in the toaster oven/air fryer, then it’s tolerable.

                    I like making fun of the brits for anything, but you know what we don’t make fun of enough? Canned spaghetti with that same sauce they put with baked beans. Now that is truly vile, and can’t even be improved with what I mentioned.

            I literally don’t think I’ve tasted ketchup since the day I went vegan which was 10 years ago

            And "actually it tastes like ketchup smuglord " is a hilarious response to being told it doesn’t taste good, considering how ketchup is notoriously a thing little kids eat because they don’t know what good food is

              Hexbear when italians dont like ketchup: boohoo

              Hexbear when British people like something that can kind of be compared to tasting like ketchup: boohoo

              Jesus Christ we have a thread about this weird gastro-nationalism that’s prevalent among US leftists every few months. Its tiring.

              Nah, you’re not allowed to say “That is what brits imagine counts as flavor” and then deny your love of ketchup. You are an American and you think ketchup is a vegetable and have it with everything. Also, everything you eat is burgers and hotdogs and processed cheese. I can’t believe you think that counts as food. Isn’t this hilarious. Aren’t we all having such fun together about this.

                All Americans know is eat hyperprocessed hot chip and rub the same storebought spice-mix on everything.

                I still remember when one of these threads had a good few comments upvoted with people shitting on the concept of saltning your food (because thats what the british do). None of these people can cook

                You’re right, enjoying things is bourgeois decadence, we should all be eating unseasoned beans and rice for every meal, there is no such thing as flavor and if there was it would be a bad thing

                Seriously though I have eaten the heinz beans in tomato sauce, they’re what carnists think tofu tastes like, it’s literally the blandest thing I’ve ever experienced and I will judge you if you pretend that it isn’t worse than real food

          The nori in sushi is usually unseasoned, unlike nori designed for consumption on its own.

          The flavour comes from the rice (seasoned with vinegar) and/or whatever goes on/in the rice, which can be very plain or flavourful depending.

                  Just overpriced. Fries with vinegar, deep fried fish and some tartar cream is pretty good. Costs too much due to the tourism vibe around it sadly

                    I think it just looks a lot better than it tastes and it’s difficult to properly season these large chunks of fried fish after the fact.
