British 'soul food'???? That's a new one on me lol. The things the guy with the orange turban comes out with cracks me up

I suppose that the British term “Comfort food” could be seen as food that’s good for the soul. It’s tasty, easy and familiar with the potential to bring back memories of childhood.

The jam and cream scones was funny .. 😂 Couldn’t help the cream gettin in Gul Sher’s moustache

I've never heard it being soul food? I agree with the other comments as it being 'comfort food'

Maybe the food from the UK is “comfort food”, which is food that we love to eat and can remind us of our home away from home and/or childhood, etc. Meanwhile: “Soul food is an ethnic cuisine originating in the Southern United States. It originated from the cuisines of enslaved Africans trafficked to the North American colonies through the Atlantic slave trade during the Antebellum period and is closely associated with the cuisine of the American South”. Yes, I used a literal definition of “soul food” hence the quotation marks. I thought that was the best way to go to highlight the difference. Although “soul food” can be comfort food too.

I’ve noticed that there seems to be a word they use that describes a “bland” taste in a positive way that doesn’t exist in English. It’s not explicitly “bland” in the sense we native English speakers use it, but rather things that are starches that act as a base or foundation for other flavors. I’d say, “starchy,” might be a closer translation, though that can have negative connotations as well. In English, “bland” usually means that something _lacks_ any flavor, and it usually isn’t a flavor of its own.

Yes, such a word does not exist in English, we borrow the Japanese word for it, which is "Umame" I suppose "Savoury" is also a comparative word, but usually savoury just means something without sugar.

[Cracks neck, sips tea] >AHEM All those spices we "conquered the world to get and never used"? Yeah, only the rich people and the gentry got those. Nobody else could afford them, so why would they be traditional ingredients? Best we could do was wild garlic and some local herbs. Then, after 1066, the Norman invaders made it illegal on pain of death for the common folk to take any good game, fowl, or fish from the land and rivers, so for a good 800 years or so, everyone subsisted on mostly vegetable stews with some bread, or pies, some eggs and dairy, and maybe a little meat on rare special holiday occasions . . . but still no spices, because they still couldn't afford them. We had to find creative ways of surviving, which is the only reason why the boiled, heavily-processed stems of a poisonous plant (rhubarb) in a pie crust was ever a thing in the first place. Then, just after we were getting into a good stride after the Pure Food Law was passed in 1875 to stop unscrupulous Industrial Revolution food manufacturers from adding sawdust and powdered minerals to the food to boost their profit margins, we had two World Wars in rapid succession with a Great Depression in between, which wreaked absolute havoc on our food chain. Wartime rationing didn't end until 1954, TEN YEARS after the war in Europe had finished. So for a couple of decades, the most reliable food was imported canned-ration-style stuff, like baked beans and tinned spaghetti. Whole generations got used to subsisting on that. It became comfort food to millions. And they passed that predilection down to their descendants. Modern British food started to get WAY better in the 1980s, and it's excellent, today. If you have nothing but bad food in the UK these days, that's all on you eating in the wrong places. And mocking British food because of what it was like in our past is just mocking the poor, downtrodden, and war-torn, from a position of modern wealth, abundance, and privilege. And if you're going to do that, you might as well mock cultural foods like collard greens and grits, too.

"British people don't like spicy food" is a common thing I've heard over the decades. Aside from curries, typical "village pub" style cooking is simple, savory, old fashioned comfort food with few ingredients but high quality meats. As an American kid I was lucky enough to have a Pakistani family move into my neighborhood so I got to try a ton of cuisine from that region, and developed a love of things like biryani, roti, paneer, etc. During my Army years I was introduced to Korean, Japanese, southern US foods, and South American cooking. A 2 week stint training with SAS troops taught me the wonders of proper fish & chips and bacon butties, which don't seem to exist here in the States sadly.

These dishes are old style traditional comfort foods. Brits love spicy food, in no small measure to the influence of immigration from India and Pakistan over the last 50 years. We have fully embraced the cuisine and made it our own to the point of inventing new curry dishes. Indian food is everywhere in the UK. Occasionally eat sausage and mash, would probably add more gravy than the one in the video.

I think it’s a mistranslation for which there’s no direct English translation. I’ve noticed when they say something’s “bland,” they mean it as an actual type of flavor. The kind you get with a starchy base food that’s covered in other things. Stuff like bread, mashed potatoes, etc.. There have been a few videos where they say “bland” but mean it in a positive way as just another flavor element to a food.

Sauces would provide an appropriate look into the culture of the UK. Regarding the fish and chips; having tartar sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and mayonnaise to create personalized sauces for both.

Those fish and chips need some curry sauce to dip them in and a nice helping of mushy peas.

Soul food is a name originally from African/ black people meals.

anything that doesnt sear your face off and cause you to perspire would be considered 'bland' by people brought up on spices. Let's not forget that one of the main reasons for spice is to mask the taste of food going off in the heat. As you should know, since you're an expert on British food, we have the hottest mustard in the world to act as a counterpoint to our 'bland' food, as we use other sauces with various meats, from horseradish to mint to apple sauce. A good quality Lincolnshire sausage contains a subtle blend of spices but if your taste buds have been seared away over time no doubt it would taste bland.

You need gravy on that bangers and mash .. mash the potatoes with some salt butter and milk and add peas to the plate (not in the mash)... thats sausage mash and onions which need to be sautéed in a little sugar( the onions) the the onions need to be covered in gravy and simmered for about 15 mins.

i think a lot of british food being bland or not spicy is that spices dont grow naturally there, while they may have had a huge trade empire of spices most everyday people didnt ever have access to them, only nobles royalty and politicians. regular access to spices is a thing from the last 150 years, and most western places use restaurants catered to specific cuisines even today, though common food is still heavy with salt and lacking spice!
