This sounds like the unholy amalgam of a British and Mainer cuisine.

British foods I think gets unfairly criticized.

I come from a south Asian culture that loves to cover rices with all sorts of curries and spices.

But I can appreciate a good fish and chips, Yorkshire pudding, shepherds pie etc.

Not the strange savoury aspics with Mayo and fish of 1950s America.

It gets ragged on because the British have a decent bit of variety in their culinary history which while standard in the anglosphere is still decent, and then they make beans and toast for two of their three meals. Some regions in the US have the same problem with chili to a lesser extent but at least they try to add some variety by putting it on different things.

Beans on toast is great, Idk why people knock it.

The problem is that it's a food clearly created during the Blitz that just stayed around. It'd be like if jellied eels was a was the national food of fucking Australia.

I mean here in east asia, they do the same thing, red bean buns/toast/bagles with a little butter isnt bad.

In fairness though the Americans have managed to muck up sandwiches by putting sugar in both the bread and the peanut butter.
