21 British Food Dishes That Are Just Too Messed Up To Even Consider Trying If You're Not From The UK

These British foods might have you wondering just what those people are doing over there.

British people are known for many different things, from their amazing-sounding accents and elegant vibes to their great food. It's no secret that British and American people differ for various reasons.

There are differences in how we dress, what we like to eat, how we speak, and overall what we do for hobbies. Usually, Americans are the ones being made fun of for the crazy, weird, fattening, and just over-the-top things they eat, but this time the roles are reversed.

We're going to explore some of the oddest, grossest, and overall weird food combinations that British people love. Some of these sound absolutely disgusting, and some of them worry me because clearly, people enjoy eating these things.

It's not like there aren't unusual, bizarre, or barely edible dishes in the USA either! But these seem particularly atrocious.

If you love looking at what other people enjoy eating or perhaps you just want some inspiration for new meals, then you're probably going to love this post. You can incorporate a little bit of Britain into your home by trying one of these recipes or preparing some of these foods the way they do in Britain.

Let's dive in and check out these weird British foods.

15. Clotted Cream

18. Crisp Sandwich

A chip sandwich isn't far off from what some Americans do. Many of them add chips to their sandwiches, but I'm not sure about eating just a chip sandwich.

You always dunk as much as you can until it's soggy.

After seeing some of these odd foods, I could actually see myself trying some of them. I mean, some are just plain weird, and I'm not sure why anyone would eat them, but some British people might be onto something with their other ideas.
