Maybe it's just artistic representation, but that doesn't even look too bad. It just looks really burnt. And this is someone who actually enjoy's burnt frozen pizza and over cooked chicken.
Usuaully when it comes to Hiei or Isokaze's cooking, artist just blur it out with maybe a tentacle sprouting out or something. This just looks relatively normal.
My British professor in university is very demanding food. I thought british people has a bad taste. but once I tried eat to eat his food... damn he's very skilled about food!!!

That not racist, I think that's more of stereotypying
The stereotype is less of badly-made food, but of just stolid, stodgy foods that are boring.
Boiled meats, boiled vegetables, heavy puddings, blandness and fats abound. (And Bovril/Vegemite/Marmite etc)
It's totally not true at all, and British Cuisine has a lot of fantastic dishes, but that's the idea of British Food that people get pushed into their head by media and whatnot.
One problem that many of the dishes have, particularly for Japanese people, is that compared to Japanese, or even French cuisine, British dishes (outside of desserts) can often be visually unappealing...
The British are actually blessed to be able to enjoy just about any barely edible chemical those shitty cooks throw at them. I mean, IF that's really the case.

Like the rest of Europe we don't have GMOs yet.
At least until the Americans finally strongarm and bribe the EC to allow their GMO crap in.

Seems to be some misunderstanding on what GMOs can be. GMOs are not simply foods altered to 'mutate' if that's what you think, it's foods that have been slightly altered to withstand the weathers better, or to fortify it with certain proteins to help those who cannot get it the proper way due to allergies or intolerance. Sometimes the changes aren't even that heavy, simply changing them to produce the foods we desire through simply cuttings.
Also to note, we have had ZERO issues with them so far, it's just the misinformed public that believe it will kill them or turn them into zombies or something and regarding food issues, there are things that actually kill us, that people refuse to acknowledge in the sense of tradition or such.
On this image note, if you came to me telling me I had bad tastes, I'd whip you up a proper meal to make you eat those words.

Holy crap, thank you! Someone who actually knows what genetic engineering in agriculture consist of, and not this nutritionist (the fake dietician) conspiracy of ninja turtles or something. From what I have personally seen, I would also say that the organic trend is also kind of BS. Organic food isn't always "safer" especially since corners may be cut on preventive measures that are commonly used in the mainstream part of the industry which sometimes causes diseases or widespread crop loss. Its all really more of a marking gimmick like "fat free" sweets or "no animal testing" (aka there is no scientific proof of performance) than anything else.
Well when you're too busy RULING THE WAVES and BEATING GERMANY to have time to settle down and eat something not utilitarian, you tend to become pretty tolerant of "food's good as long as it's food and keeps away the scurvy".

My pal - a Pole - told me how he was renting a room with British family. Well, the deal was they are doing dinners. After week of their ,,dinners" he told Saturday and Sunday HE will cook something normal. When he took out mashed potatoes and cutlets onto the table, went for salad... there was nothing left for him. Lucky him he was eating during cooking... On Saturday, they called more people from their family xD He saved some potatoes and cutlets in different pot in advance this time, though. I am living in Scotland - yea, their idea of culinary ain't the tastiest/healthiest around. Buns with crisps are most notorious example of ,,finest" British cuisine.
I like Scottish haggis with mashed potatoes and nappies, though. Black pudding, and so on... those ain't bad things. But everything in moderation. In my family, we eat bloodwursts only on barbecue meetings, once per week/two weeks. In summer.

That's not an accurate description of the average British supper.

Something interesting to note, but by some definitions, we've been genetically engineering crops and animals since we figured out "If big cow and big bull fuck, big babies come out. If big babies grow up and fuck other big babies, we still get big babies."

I am now scarred for life at the thought of eating haggis with nappies.
I sincerely hope they are not USED nappies...

The modern day just cuts out the middleman.
Hallelujah Danbooru is more scientific than most "progressive" outlets!

"I mashed the entire GENOMES of 3 grasses together to get Triticum aestivum" -Guy who invented modern wheat- (no guarantees on spelling of the scientific name there...)

The issue nowadays, I believe, is that people are more concerned with prolonging and extending their already well extended lives. The human race before 1930 had an average life expectancy of around 50 years old and lower for a world average. Whereas today, the life expectancy is almost 50% higher. We live in an era, however, where people will get worried over more trivial issues now that actually critical issues are scarce or settled (that could have affected living in any situation during those times), this accumlates into people being more concerned with the issues they now no longer need to face, this is one of the reasons why there is a clear discrepency between the young and old's outlook on life and their advice for the coming generations (Asian parents are notorious for this, due to their relatively harsher upbringing).
When people run out of actual things to get paranoid and crazy about, they divert their attention to the less important and most of the time, completely harmless components in life.

Yes, exactly! Genetics is not some kind of voodoo magic, it just involves basic biological knowledge! I feel the same way about nuclear power. We fear what we don't understand. The dietary field is home to some of the biggest pseudo-scientists out there (matched only by some environmental scientists and psychology "experts") who loudly proclaim what is healthy or not without any understanding of the concepts behind nutrition. Like I once heard a "health expert" say you will be more alert if you eat a heavy breakfast. No, digestion puts you into parasympathetic response which actually lowers blood flow to non-digestive organs. You will actually be more alert with less food than more. Big reason why you feel sleepy for a siesta after a large or fattening meal.
I can almost see it now: "In the early 19th century there was this crazy religious nut who made GMO from pea plants and changed their 'natural' form into that of mutated beasts! He screwed with mother nature so much that he changed their color, size, and even positions of the flowers! Such irresponsible experimentation can't be acceptable for the progressive modern society! Doesn't he realize what danger he put humanity in by introducing these unhealthy corrupted mutants of mankind's industrial craze? Who knows what kind of irreversible environmental damage his actions caused?"
That's a pretty big bullet Bismarck is shooting. I don't think you can say an entire nation has bad food and get away with it. At the very least, nearly every nation has an exceptionally decorated chef that comes from there.
I could sort of see how the fight would unfold though. German chefs are some of the most prestigious in the world, alongside France. Traditional folk dishes, rich flavors, and extraordinary food craft are their country's forte. On the other hand, British chefs tend to specialize in simple rustic flavors and country cooking made with no-nonsense ideologies. One may fail to appreciate the other. At least that's how think of things.
Now I want to see Warspite joining Man Arihred's M Admiral for an epic lunch. Warspite sitting on her admiral chair while he gets to eat his off the floor.
This one doesn't even look dangerous other than the bitter charcoal, behind the burnt part usually taste better than the normal one. The other version of isokaze cooking are more like biochemical weapon invention

You pro genetically modified food buffs keep forgetting about one BIG reason to not consume or promote those. This alone should be enough for any reasonable person to stop then: alimentary independence.
It's no secret that most genetically modified crops are under patents which enable the companies that produce then to have total control over the plantation of these crops: You've got to buy the seeds from these companies, allways, and can't use part of your crop to replant.
This wouldn't be so bad if it stoped there but these companies (google Monsanto) are working toward destroying unmodified crops through legal or illegal means, specially in third world countries. Furthermore, these companies issue lawsuits against people who inadvertedly have had their own crops contaminated by the genes of the genetically modified species. Meaning that if you've got a non genetically modifed field and your crop is pollinized with genetically modified crops then you'll have to pay these companies as if you are using these product.
Their ultimmate goal is to completely replace traditional crops with their genetically modified crops and practically control the food market. Just like traditional herbs and medicines had been bashed by an arrogant scientific comunity for years in benefit of the farmaceutical industry.
There are quite a lot more reasons to not support genetically modified crops which can certainly be debatable but this one is in my opinion a certain fact, and its effects can already be seen in countries like India, Mexico or event the USA.
Yeah, the sort of people who want GMOs focus on the mere safety etc. Science>God aspect; there are other concerns, not least that a vegetarian doesn't want animal genes in tomatoes and allergy sufferers may not welcome, say, peanut genes in their beef.
Global oilseed, agribusiness and biotech corporations are engaged in a long-term attack on India’s local cooking oil producers. In just 20 years, they have reduced India from self-sufficiency in cooking oil to importing half its needs. Now the government’s attempts to impose GM mustard seed threaten to wipe out a crop at the root of Indian food and farming traditions.
Eventually Monsanto-Bayer will control all your bases.

That is a consequence of justice systems that accept bribes from companies to patent this, not the science itself. Genes should not be patented at all. Just like the person who patented "Candy". What is to stop someone from patenting hydrogen, and all molecules containing it? Another thing that must be understood is that patents are definite. Big reason why some companies aren't patenting genes even though they could, because by the time it would be relevant to exercise their patents, it would become expired.
The genotype that gives rise to a particular phenotype is not a continuous and definite strip of sequence as most people think. Some genes are, but in most cases a phenotype is produced as a result of selecting factors that promote or silence (turn on/off) a variety of sequences to produce the necessary proteins to give rise to the desired effect. Its ridiculous if a vegetarian doesn't want animal genes in tomatos because that isn't what is actually happening, and why should that even matter? I mean, there isn't any actual beef (muscle cells) in the tomato or anything. Same goes with peanuts. They can have the gene without giving rise to the phenotype that triggers the allergy.
And of course, the main point is that there is not a single organism that is not "genetically modified". Simply crossing plants as has been done by farmers ever since farming was a thing, actually, even nature does it naturally (example: bees and pollination) is genetic modification and is the same thing in vitro as it is in vivo.
Now if you want to talk about the overuse of antibiotics in farming, I can get behind that. Not that antibiotics is bad, but an improper application of it is harmful in evolving pathogens into gaining resistance to the current design and mechanism of antibiotics.

The fact that Monsanto has grown so large is actually a direct result of how much fear and litigation there has been over GMO products.
Basically, because any smaller group that tries to work upon genetically modified foods will get sued out of existence by the shrieking hysterics, the only companies that can survive are the giant "evil" corporations like Monsanto... who generally just buy up the smaller company's work. It's the reflexive, unthinking rejection of any sort of GMO, rather than actually targeting those corporations that carry out bad practices that give rise to the soulless corporate megaliths you're complaining about.
I also have to wonder why a vegetarian would care if a tiny snippet of a DNA was copied from an animal? The reason vegetarians avoid meat is wanting to avoid harm to animals, and no matter how you look at it, a gene is not a living creature even on par with a plant, much less an animal. Claiming that the source of DNA matters for anything other than the study of evolution is like claiming that fluoridated water is an evil communist plot unless it was naturally a fluoridated water source since "natural" fluoride is "different" from other fluoride.
Look, British food is fine. It's just surrounded by European cuisine all the time.
Again with the
Charcoalisation! Japan's famed flavour of autumn -
Salt-grilled Saury!Oooh!Whaa...Whaaaat's hopeless at filleting?That's the nasty-food country for you.For tonight's dinner, I, Isokaze present...It's a little bitter, but surprisingly edible!Thank you for your patience, My Queen.
