How does a country develop their cuisine to atrocities, like England or East Europe

response to adversity and what is readily available

>famine

>war

>supply shortages and rationing

you will turn to the first things available for you to eat and what does well in your environment. You will attempt to make it palatable.

British food is the most inoffensive food that exists

Roast dinners and meat pies oh no the horror!!

meanwhile other countries eat raw meat and insects

Beans on toast is good THOUGH

When you're hungry you gotta eat something

polish and russian food is da bomb

>East Europe

what atrocities are we talking about? most eastern euro food is just simple/bland and dense in calories since most of the people pre soviet union were farmers and needed their calories for the day. for me personally the most disgusting shit is probably aspic but then thats a dish that can be found all over the world

I blame the N*rmans in the case of England. English people settled outside of England have made plenty of nice food.
