Tell me you haven't had proper British food without actually telling me.

Don't blindly believe everything you hear.

Beans on toast can be done well also.

i do that all the time, but my own recipe, which is essentially hopped up chili beans on garlic toast. So i start with frying four pieces chopped up bacon in a bean pot, then add half an onion chopped n fry that soft, then a can of the heinz bbq chipotle beans, half a cup of E.D. Smith Baja Chipotle bbq sauce, half tbsp ancho powder, half tbsp jalapeno powder, quater tbsp white pepper, half tbsp garlic powder, simmer that all up and serve on and with thick cut buttered garlic toast. and to put the lie to any stereotypes bout regional cuisine, i'm doing this shit in western canada. I have a restaurant here, but this particular recipe is a bit too hot for most my customers.

That sounds good. I've never seen Heinz chipotle beans though (in Canada). I'll have to keep an eye out.

They're marked as Barbecue in the big print, the chipotle is in very small print underneath. You could just start with the more easily found deep browned beans or whatever.

My father is British. My grandmother was British.

There is no way to make British-style beans on toast palatable to people outside of Great Britain. I'm sorry.

There are plenty of British foods I will absolutely defend as terrific. I will murder a wedge of caerphilly cheese and I sometimes import Rowntree's blackcurrant fruit pastilles, I love them so much... but beans on toast? I can't go with you down that road. Also, Daddies Sauce. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Including my father. How do you put that shit in your mouths?

And don't even get me started on Marmite.

That bloke is gently handling those pies.
