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.
Only slightly related, but I love this sketch: https://youtu.be/H-uEx_hEXAM

Particularly bland 😄
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!
Isn't haggis from Scotland or some shit?
Yeah, but it's in the UK. Only mentioned because the rest of the food in the UK was pretty bland.
It is.
proceeds to tell everyone how bad the food is in the uk
2 seconds later: proceeds to tell everyone how much they like food from the uk
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.
Cool story bro.
Obviously don't know about British people though.
Vindaloo is 175,000 to 500,000 scoville.
That's on my not hot list.
Try 1.2 million scoville phaal curry, it's one of my favorite warm up foods, now that shit is GOOD. 😋😍
You fail to realize hot food in America is literally a fucking sport, like you sign a waiver that says if you die they're not liable kind of sport.
I'm sorry you think I care. I don't.
You still replied 😏
Keep going, we'll make you a copypasta
comeback when you try phaal, weak shits.
Eh, there are different kinds of "spicy". Depending on how dead your receptors are after eating that "spicy" food before.
So if you don't notice some kind of spices anymore, and are going to try the same amount of something you've not tried before, it may be painful until your receptors are dead to that too.
Personally I think it's simply bad taste and bad cuisine to put large amounts of spices and salt into food. You should feel the actual flavor of what you are eating behind spices and herbs and salt and sugar and what not.
No
The objective part I've checked experimentally many times, so fsck right off.
The subjective part doesn't require your approval. Think that moment in the "Green Book" movie about "salty" and people unable to cook.
Dont post opinions publicly if you can't cope with people disagreeing. And maybe chill out
I was chill typing that, just intentionally rude.
Also harmful advice. You should do whatever you want in any case, including
, if you want to preserve your sanity.
This is just my opinion, but being intentionally rude isn't nice. I can understand it when someone has been really egregiously offensive but when you're discussing how much spice should be in food? Come on
The huge secret is that "fsck right off" was intended as jokingly rude, English is not my first language.
Though this may be irrelevant since even yesterday a clearly joking text was perceived as an insult by one acquaintance in one chat. I'm not sure they didn't put into this a bit of their unwillingness to accept that their own sense of humor is not the only kind allowed, but some others made the same mistake, so.
