5 foods Brits find tasty that other countries don't get

Despite the adored fish and chips and English breakfast, some British food staples are not universally liked.

Whether you like or dislike these foods, you may not hear about them outside of Britain.

But what are some of the quirky food traditions that other countries just don't seem to get? Brits have discussed the topic.

5 foods Brits find tasty that other countries don't get

Taking to the r/AskBrits Reddit group, someone asked: "What is the food that British people think it's tasty but people from other countries don't seem to get it?"

Here are 5 things that were discussed.

Chip butties

One Reddit user said: "I remember trying to explain to a Kenyan how great chip butties were and how horrified she looked…

"I eventually got her to try one and she admitted it was nice but still 'just wrong'".

Another replied: "I told my Sri Lankan husband about chip butties and he was like ‘you’re lying’. He thought I was making it up, had to Google search it."

Crackling

A food adored by many in Britain, others seemed to be confused by the love of roasted pork skin.

One user said: "I remember being at a festival in Spain where they had hog-roast stalls.

"An excited Brit ran up to me and told me they were giving away free crackling. Sure enough, these baffled Spaniards were giving free crackling to a long line of excited Brits."

Pickled onion Monster Munch

Mentioning this particular flavour of crisp, another jealous American user said: "That sounds amazing."

Another Brit who says they are now living abroad said: "I miss Monster Munch sooo bad it's the first thing I do when I'm back, that and a Yorkshire tea."

Another replied: "My Canadian wife thought I was a disgusting savage when I bought some of these. Got her to try one and she now eats more often than me!"

Haggis

This traditional Scottish dish was another food discussed on the Reddit thread.

One user shared their experience of trying to explain it to an American.

They said: "I tried explaining Haggis, tattie scones, and square sausage and they just didn't seem to get it. Their loss though."

Fish finger sandwich

Another British staple enjoyed by many, particularly the 11th Doctor.

Another said: "Damn, and I thought my British husband just made that up!"
