Why do England struggle to produce undisputedly great players?

This must be a cultural thing from what I gather. Is gravy used in a broader sense in the subcontinent than it is in western countries to describe a variety of what we would call sauces?

 

[Adders]

Yeah, must be.

I was totally blown away in that Indian restaurant that had gravy in their descriptions........totally put me off. No ****ing Bisto in any Rogan Josh I know of.

 

[sledger]

Yeah but Bisto isn't real gravy either ffs.

Bisto is to gravy what Rustlers is to burgers.

 

[GIMH]

The thesaurus really blew your mind huh

Your use of an incorrect online source to try and win an argument based around fact did indeed blow my mind, yes

 

[GIMH]

Bisto is to gravy what Rustlers is to burgers.

While I agree, as a southerner you have little right to talk about real gravy. Go and drizzle a bit on your meat and leave the veg dry like the shandy-drinking tosser you are and leave the real gravy talk to the northerners.

Was the first search result on Google fwiw. Not the paid one either.

The fact that the use of the words 'gravy' and 'sauce' is such a major point of contention to the English speaks volumes of how dire their cuisine is tbh.

 

[GIMH]

Quite the contrary. It's hard to think of anything better that doesn't contain alcohol, which is better than gravy.

 

[Furball]

And I say to all those **** canning English cuisine to get some Spotted Dick into them and then lets talk.

I don't want to know about your nocturnal activities, this is about food.

Just you wait until we start discussing bread.

 

[weldone]

A few European countries can put Britain to shame when discussing about bread, tbh.

 

[Furball]

Observe.

Can anyone tell me what this is?

 

[indiaholic]

Looks like terrible vada pav.

Cakes in Asia are horrendous. Just throwing that out there.

In fact sweet stuff from Asia on the whole is pretty terrible. Easily the worst bit of my trip to Malaysia earlier in the year.

 

[superkingdave]

Can't tell whether its soft or not but it looks like a barm cake

some kind of bacon roll

Indian sweets are a mixed bag. Some of the south indian stuff is horrendous but the Bengalis know what they are doing.

That's a cob.

 

[sledger]

Some of the Malaysian stuff I had was just glutinous sludge. Literally, that is exactly what it was.

Loved most of the savoury food over there, but dear god.
