As a Brit I am DEEPLY offended... It's beans ON toast! Beans and toast does not highlight the important fact that the beans must be placed on top of the toast. Do you expect me to separate my "beans and toast"... Or put toast on beans like some hooligan?!?!
Everything else is pretty spot on to be fair.
And not a mention of cheese.
Which should go under the beans to prevent sogginess. I will not be debated on this point.
PREVENT sogginess?? The combination of crunch and softness is a part of the appeal, you philistine!
Begun, the cheese wars have.
Dammit, who declared war on France THIS time?
J'adore le fromage
Mais oui!
The Swiss. They felt it was their turn
Fair enough. For too long has their hole-cheese toiled in the shadows while brie flourishes!
And we'll have none of that bloody French muck neither!
It's good strong cheddar or nowt. I will accept the addition of a layer of grated mozzarella for texture.
It's good strong cheddar or nowt
I'm with you there. Nothing so sad as mild to "medium" cheddar!
I do this with a fried egg. Ultimate beans on toast: toast -> egg -> beans -> cheese
I confess I sometimes put the beans in a small bowl and dip my toast in or scoop it on with a fork. Nonetheless, I refer to this and beans on toast.
Torie beans on toast
This reads like something Mark Corrigan would say on Peep Show lmao
I wish Americans had the instinct to line up in a queue. So tired of just mobs
I live in America. Where does the notion that Americans don't queue come from? For most things where people are served one at a time and more than one person wants to be served, people queue.
It comes from living in America and being around and previously working at places that may have a system where lining up would work well. Granted, the area I'm at has a large tourist population but that are mostly all Americans from out of state. It's anecdotal evidence. Maybe just my city or something.
@yamapikariya I feel like there's a distinction to be made between Americans _visiting _a city and the people that live there.
For instance, when I lived in the SF Bay Area, ques for services locals used were efficient and well-ordered unless jackass tourists were involved. IIRC (it's been a while), everyone standing on the BART escalators would be on the left, leaving the right half of the escalator for people in a hurry to walk up or down the stairs. But mix in a few American tourists and it was just willy nilly people everywhere.
7:00 AM? All locals, everything is good. 1:00 PM? Good fucking luck.
Tourists also don't seem to understand or CARE that the city they're visiting has to run somehow, and they meander around on the sidewalks oblivious to everyone else like they're in a theme park.
TL;DR - - Americans know how to queue, they just don't do very well when they're out of their element in unfamiliar places.
It can be hit or miss. In some respects, tourists can be better than locals.
For example, I have never heard of tourists jumping the turnstile on the New York Subway. It is always the locals who don't want to pay.
Honestly I've met some British tourists who didn't queue very well on vacation either. There are just so many more Americans tourists in many places that we overwhelm many other countries asshole tourists.
I'm not trying to say Americans aren't shitty tourists we are most definitely shitty tourists.
In fairness, we queue when bollards are put up, maybe even based on paint on the ground. It must be declared though
We lack the natural instinct to queue though. If you have an ingress or ticket booth, lacking direction, we form a mob that filters in rather than a queue. At best, we might queue at a store opening if there's many hours to wait
That's my experience, too, and we got it from the British. Sure, there are line-skipping jerks, but they're socially frowned upon. Compare this to somewhere like Germany where people were constantly skipping lines and nobody seemed to care.
If you think ants won't jump on some beans and toast...
Thank you, ants.
Is that Ant-Arctica?
Always happy to see a Look Around You reference.
That got me from the start "weird loyalty to their queen".
Queen is pretty banging ngl tho
Britain has anti-monarchists, don’t know of many ants that are
You don't know about them because they are silenced
That's the reason I always call Charles Queen Charles.
Ants can't lift 5000x their own weight but maybe OP is being British and using commas as decimal points.
Britain doesn't use commas for decimal points, that's a mainland European thing.
Also if OP was British, they’d have put ‘beans on toast’. What they put makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
i guess beans and toast implies that you're having them separately on different plates
That is one of the four horsemen of lunch.
*decimal separator
We call it decimal comma
Everything but the beans and toast and queen loyalty applies to Americans, too.
If you think Americans have an innate instinct to line up single-fine in queues, you clearly haven't seen queues in other countries.
I lived in Germany for 10 years, so I certainly saw the lack of respect for the queue there! But that was in the 80s-90s, maybe it's better now.
I don't think we Americans are bad at it, but I don't think we've got anything on the English or the Japanese (bonus, and pardon the links to the bad place), not enough to consider it a markable trait of ours. I suspect we're probably middle to high-middle in queuing globally, although I won't claim to be the most world-traveled or knowledgeable person.
Yeah, my experience is primarily from noticing how prevalent line-skipping was in Germany in my childhood compared to the US. As I said, people do it, but it's VERY frowned upon.
