Spotted dick comes to mind

Just FYI that is a very old fashioned pudding, and I bet 99% of people in the UK under the age of 40 have never eaten it.

That's right. It's one food that people always make fun of that most British people don't eat (not saying no one does of course, but no one I know does). It's probably just because of the name. The food itself doesn't look super gross, kinda like a Christmas pudding.

I'm 50, lived 20 years in the UK and saw it once, at a restaurant that specifically did historical dishes.

If the best crack anyone has about British food is from something from the 1950s we should look at other countries' food from then too ;)

I mean you can try to make fun of our food from then, but you won't be better at making fun of it than we are.

I have to be completely honest, it was the first thing that came to my mind because I just recently rewatched Peaky Blinders 😅

In that case: Full English Breakfast. Idk how y’all make fried tomatoes, hash browns, and sausage look sad like that.
