I didn't even deny anything specific about the colonially seized food; I was reflecting some very loud seething that got brought up during older dunks on jellied eels or beans on toast.
They weren't wrong about jellied eels being the only protein the working class could afford, hence why they stopped eating that crap as soon as they could afford anything else.
Beans on toast with ketchup on the other hand is as indefensible as percolated coffee; there's easier ways to use those same ingredients to make something that isn't awful.
