    People really think Blitz-era Brits were so decadent? Look at how much cheese is on there! That’s enough to give an elephant nightmares. And that’s like half an onion!

    Besides, London rats are a meal all in themselves. No need for fancy cheese and onion cobs when you can go to the bins behind your local and get a wriggling, squeaking meal washed down with some fresh bin juice for free.

        If this was prepared properly and with a more sane amount of onion this would be totally fine to me. I like me some raw onions sprinkled over food, adds a little zest. Definitely not a centimeter thick slice tho.

    This picture disgusts me so much that I desperately wish I could never see it again.

      Cheese isn’t even good when it gets that thick. It takes on an unpleasant texture. And in a sandwich like that it would be ruinous to the bread. You would at least have to slice it thinner and layer it.

    Europe: “terrorized and colonized the world to get spices” Also Europe: “serves up absolute disgusting food like this”

    What the fuck was it all for?!?!

      The people who got rich pillaging the world weren’t the ones who ate like this.

          I know, my fiancée makes it at home! I’m just a tomato kinda guy. Your comment and name made me think of greasy milk. I found it really inocuous and just a bit jarring, in a funny way.

          Anyways, I retorted like that because I just ate this like a week ago. Ernest Hemingway wrote about it in For Whom the Bells Toll, in 6th grade it entranced me. It’s pretty baller. Bread, cheese and onion.

          They understand mexicans and biting into raw onions. If I had a pot of my mother’s beans, I’d be in heaven. Every now and again celebrate where you come from or enjoy simple discomforts. It’s why Islam venerates pilgramages and fasting. Christians, lent. Etc.

          Thanks for letting me rant, I’m gonna go buy some beans.

        No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.

          That doesn’t contradict what I said. Neither of those are a monolith.

          The people doing the colonizing and using the spices and the people eating the bland food were from different parts of their countries.

      Not sure about the onion (prefer them pickled myself), but the rest looks fine. It’s a big-ass chunk of (hopefully extra mature) cheddar and some bread and butter. Nowt wrong wi’ that.

        To be fair Americans are incapable of eating any food which aren’t the texture of blended babyfood, so them being upset at a little texture in food isn’t really that surprising.

        That’s what I was thinking. Fresh onion is a little to crisp. I’d go with pickled onion or maybe a thin layer of diced shallots.
