Brits will scoff at microwaved water then straight up eat mushy peas at dinner.

I mean we can pick at things. Americans put marshmallows in their potatoes and eat cereal that are the same shade as crayons. Asians put cheese slices in their instant noodles. Italians eat Prosciutto and Melon, The French eat Escargot and Frog. At least most of these are consider guilty pleasures or 3am grub rather than cuisine.

Americans always shit on British food then come over and remark at how great it is.

Americans try to substitute good food with size, sugar and oil.

I’m pretty sure Americans have a panic attack when what they’re eating isn’t at least 50% high fructose corn syrup.

Haha I was just in England/UK/Britain and the food was whack, in England especially. The reason England is famous for its fish and chips is because it’s the only thing that is good.

Curry is bomb though, but idk (honestly) if that counts. Colonizing India is the best thing that ever happened to England, sadly you cannot say the same going the other direction lol

Haggis fucking rules though!

You speak like someone that has never met a British person never mind not having been to the UK.

The national dish of the UK is curry. There is curry everywhere.

I went to an Indian restaurant in America the women actually lived in the UK and we was chatting. I ordered a hot curry and it was fine.

But the Mexican woman behind me ordered a vindaloo which is a pretty standard dish in the UK. The Indian said “you had this before? Its very hot”

But “no but it’s fine I’m Mexican. I can handle my heat”

“I’m just warning you it’svery hot. You sure you want it? Maybe you want x, y, z instead if you ve never had it”

“I’m good with heat. My family always makes things spicy”

Anyway it came and she ate less than 10% of it before getting it boxed up.
