    I can absolutely still enjoy beers of all sorts of styles, even including some IPAs. If cask conditioned ale were still cheap and available on every corner, I'd still prefer that over anything. Beer can only get so good if not cask or bottle conditioned.

    I suspect this is bullshit but there is a solution if someone has to eat at a certain time. The food you eat doesn't have to be heated. People brought and ate unheated lunches at work regularly until at least 1980.

    I have yet to find anything to surpass a meatloaf sandwich, mayo and chili sauce, wrapped in wax paper.

    All those “commons” were from pre-refrigeration days. Anchor steam is probably the most famous, the California Common. But they used lager yeast at ale temps instead of ale.

    And most beers had at least a pale color to them back then, as malting/kilning wasn’t an exact science either. There are still some exotic places doing the floor shoveled process at small scale. I had a pale malt that almost tasted like raisin bran flakes. Would have been delicious in a dopple, but we couldn’t source enough of it to make it feasible.

    Lucky for me, there's a fantastic pub walking distance that always has 4-5 cask choices. Food is great too.

    I've had Anchor a ton of times but never realized it was considered a common. Learn something new every day!

    The “steam” part was that the brewers brewed at night and had to cool the boiled wort over essentially radiators on the rooftops that passed cool water inside them. The steam came off those at night, so that became steam beer.

    I was initially going with

    the “open face” sandwich, because it’s not a sandwich. But then those two atrocities from England popped up back to back, that’s my pick.

    For me it's the

    Danish open-faced appetizers (open)


    and the

    South African stuffed bread-hemisphere thing (open)


    The

    British offerings (open)
    are fine structurally even though yuck

    PR seems to be unclear on how spoilers work AND on what makes a British "sandwich" so crappy

    Brit food is fascinating to me. The how's, the why's, how everyone doesn't always have explosive diarrhea.

    I would do pie & mash, maybe hold the atomic antifreeze. Jellied eels? Nooooo
