Serious Eats Shut Up

[Wilfrid]

I just saw these things in my feed and maybe this has been going on for a while, but Serious Eats please stop lying about British cooking. Hot smoked salmon? No. Fish pie very rare, haddock maybe.

Beans on toast made from dried beans? No. Heinz in a can? Yes. This recipe may be great, but not remotely British

Apparently there is reams of this nonsense.

A lot of this is right but the suggestion that kippers might be part of a fry up tells you the author is putting this together from online research not personal experience.

Seems like the Salmon thing is from this 2017 blog entry where it was an "american english" pie (which I assume means it's spelled pie and not pieue)

Dumb in 2017, still dumb.

On the plus side, the asparagus & ramp soup I made yesterday was a Serious Eats recipe, and it came out good. So I guess just make liberal use of the "jump to recipe" click-y.

Always a good idea.
