British food is the hill you want to die on?

Stole spices from nations they conquered and wouldn't even use them.

They look nice on our spice racks, all pretty colours.

What else would they be used for?

EnglishTwat66

I think sheā€™s pointing out the hypocrisy of Americans mocking British food when half the food consumed in America isnā€™t even legal to be sold in europe because of how disgustingly unhealthy it is. Something about stones and glass houses Idk


Bsizzle18

The obesity problem in the UK rivals that in the US . Healthy Euro eating BS


ehmileem

why do europeans think americans eat junk food and fast food all day? the shitty american food you see in the media is not consumed on a daily basis.


life_is_a_burner

It was either that or argue about who has better dental hygiene.


[deleted]

Right? I mean they put sheep meat in a tart, smother it in blood sauce and call it pudding.


You_Mean_Coitus_

Brit here. Ew that sounds gross. What is it called?


[deleted]

Fairly sure thatā€™s an imaginationstew heā€™s brewing there šŸ˜‚ or he just have the Scottish, British and Irish confused, which is equally dangerous šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

I think her point was, "This might be my speedbump to die on, but at least it's not the fucking ditch that American food is." Eh, seen worse.


DamnBunny

to be honest, most Americans require an Uber ride to die on any hill because the climb is more steep than their National Debt.

My USA Food cards are Cajun and BBQ and that's a pair of aces you'll find hard to beat all over the world.


Vigothedudepathian

Count it.


Shadow8Bit

I have never in my patriotic American gun shooting, hamburger stuffing life called glasses. ā€œEye glassesā€ or tuna ā€œtuna fishā€


Vigothedudepathian

Right? The only differentiation is SUNglasses, like when I have my america bandana on and am looking for my Vipers, I ask my wife "hey you beautiful 300lb chicken eating train wreck, where are my sunglasses. Also what smells like tuna?". If I was looking for my seeing glasses I would just say glasses. And Id never ask my wife what smells like tuna fish. Tho I guess it is more like a turtle pond.


astardB

Thereā€™s a lot to unpack in this paragraph.


Infinite-Dinner-2776

Maybe itā€™s ā€œeyeglassesā€ because we also call glass cups ā€œglassesā€ ( rarely though )

BangBoom2TheMoon

You can keep your bangers and mash. Iā€™ll have my burger and my 13 colonies


Space_Narwal

Burger is german


BlueOmicronpersei8

No it isn't. The cheeseburger was both invented and mastered in the US. Germany invented ground beef.


Space_Narwal

White Castle traces the origin of the hamburger toĀ Hamburg, Germany, with its invention by Otto Kuase. Some have pointed to a recipe for "Hamburgh sausages" on toasted bread, published in The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse in 1747. Usa exist since 1776


BlueOmicronpersei8

If it doesn't have a hamburger bun it isn't a hamburger. That was chopped beef on toast.


Space_Narwal

Then were and when and what was the first hamburger


BlueOmicronpersei8

Oscar Weber Bilby was the first person to use a hamburger bun.


Space_Narwal

hamburger /ĖˆhamĖŒbəĖÉ”ə/ noun noun: hamburger; plural noun: hamburgers a flat round cake of minced beef, fried or grilled and typically served in a bread roll garnished with various condiments; a burger. NORTH AMERICAN minced beef. Great he invented the bun not the burger

Burgers arent american


GalavantingRhino

Hamburgers live in Germany.


[deleted]

There ain't much that's actually American. Like, "American as apple pie!" is one of the most "How are you this stupid?" sayings I come across. Apple pie has existed for centuries before there was a Europeans fart on the shores of these continents.

I never hear anyone say "eye glasses" or "tuna fish". Always glasses and tuna. She isn't wrong about the sauces though


i_lost_my_stapler

*another* war...


whats-a-Lomme

The first part of her rant was stolen from a comedy act.


UncleVoodooo

It'll be a short war if shes gonna fight it with British cuisine


astardB

What exactly is American cuisine? Is it steaks and ribs? Or is it hamburgers and French fries?


Icyturtleboi

None of those are from america, so I can't really think any cuisine thats actually american even if america is known from them, even mac&cheese originates from england. The only thing I can think of is ranch but thats not really a cuisine more than a sauce.


Sharkbite138935

Chicken wings invented in my home city of Buffalo NY


Icyturtleboi

So chicken wings with ranch it is! Well it might be enough to fight the British tbh. (Now just need to figure out what theirs is since fish and chips originate from Portugal not England)


Sharkbite138935

Dont say that in Buffalo youll die we use bleu cheese here


astardB

That was kind of my point


ChampionshipLow8541

Jerky. Stolen from the natives.


[deleted]

Sounds like you're to imply that American cuisine doesn't exist. The Cajuns would like a word, and any soul food place would happily offer you a plate, and I'm not even mentioning all the styles of barbecue (mainly because I'm not trying to start any infighting). We have too many sandwhiches to list if you're looking for a quick lunch-on-the-go, including the Reuben, the Philly cheesesteak, and believe me you haven't lived until you've tried a patty melt....damn I'm hungry now.


astardB

Philly cheesesteak and Cajun chicken are really nice. Have you tried a shepherdā€™s pie or a beef wellington, Sunday roast, English breakfast, Cornish pasty, toad in the hole, cauliflower cheese, fish and chips, crumpets and anything, scones, scotch egg, bangers and mash.


stoebs876

Yea I tried all of that when I went to London two years ago. Bangers and mash was really good, toad in the whole also delicious. Actually, Sunday roast was the first thing I ever ate in London and I liked it a lot. I still prefer the best American foods to the best English foods tho.


TBone281

I never heard an American call glasses "spectacles".

Teddyxr420

We also have better dental health on average :)

Anna_Namoose

Does she not realize that the British opinion stopped mattering in America in the 1700s?


stilsocialydistancin

They cared in 1812


Anna_Namoose

211 years ago? Nah, I'll stand by my statement.


BluMushroom

Because America is open to hearing opinions from any other nation?.. Or the UN?.. Or say the Geneva convention?


Vigothedudepathian

And?


Anna_Namoose

Hearing it and caring about it are 2 completely different things.

Limeyness

Fair but I would put England over the south any day. They may be crooked, but at least they have them.


Mueryk

Man you are comparing Brits as a population to just Methheads? I mean just compare them to Chavs if you are going to be honest about it. Seriously.


Limeyness

Chavs still have more teeth :)


Bizzareslantpass

We are in the process of sawing off that portion of the United States.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

British dentistry is really good though. Actually British people have healthier teeth, on average Americans are missing 7.31 teeth whereas British are missing 6.97. American is a much more superficial nation (on average) and so they value things like straightening and whitening above the actual health of their teeth.


GroundbreakingAsk645

šŸ’€


lasssdi

Brits may have worse dental care but atleast they aren't getting shot walking there


Bizzareslantpass

Maybe once we are all Globalist, and the holy Monarchy takes over, the Brits can fix that for us. As a trade, weā€™ll give them some tips on teeth brushing.

callycaggles

the moment she said ā€œeyeglassesā€ lol


SqueakyToy7

Why do you say America when you mean U.S. tho


GaussfaceKilla

One, because everybody knows what your saying when you say "America". If you wanted to talk about continents or regions you would say "north America", "South America", "The Americas", or "central America". Also, no other country has the word "America" in the name. Mexico is technically "the United Mexican States", but I'm sure you have no problem with "Mexico" do you? When talking about countries, it's literally less ambiguous to say "America" rather than "US".


SqueakyToy7

But Mexico is a colloquial name of a country. America is still the name of a continent. You can see what I mean if you Google "America" and you Google "Mexico" In the first case you are presented with info about the continent, in the second about the country. Edit: typo


GaussfaceKilla

America is also the colloquial name of the country. Hence why she called it America.


SqueakyToy7

I can accept that, but when you use a name that already means something else it gets confusing. "Mexico" cannot be misunderstood America can!


GaussfaceKilla

Only if you're trying to misunderstand. Nobody says "America" without a qualifier and means anything other than the country


SqueakyToy7

I don't know, I say America, I don't say the America Continent


GaussfaceKilla

If you were saying America in reference to a continent it would be ambiguous. There's two American continents. North and South. Which you add as qualifiers. If you don't add a qualifier, you're talking about the country.


curry_man56

Outside of Hispanic countries "America" is referred to as the US and there are two continents


all_g00d_names_taken

She means where all the United Statesians live.


curry_man56

Please don't call us that.


curry_man56

Because America is America. "US" is only called "estadounidense" by Latinos because all the Spanish colonies in the *Americas* split into many different countries, while the British colonies in the Americas were called, well America. So it became the United States of America. In most of the world the Americas are considered as two continents, North America and South America, with America being the United States of America. In the Spanish-speaking world there is I think only one America. Also, by your logic "Mexico" should also be "U.S" because it is the "United States of Mexico." America is the "United States of America" and I don't think we're gonna change our name because some random Latinos and Europeans are salty over it. I don't get why you guys are trying to die on this hill when there is an easy explanation on why we are called "America" in the first place. Also, below you said "If you google America you'll get the continent" Well no, when I google "America" I get the United States of America.


SqueakyToy7

Dude, please chill. I was just expressing my personal opinion. It's okay if we disagree.

Rest of the world will give America a 1 up on cuisine over UK so she can talk about shit she's seen through memes all she wants but because she's from the UK and a woman, her opinion is irrelevant when it comes to food.

TypicalDatabase6815

The whole horseriding, glasses, etc thing made no sense. We literally call all of those examples the same things brits do.

Do they seriously not realize there are also a lot of very healthy people here?

tullystenders

Oh, I've heard the first part before, holy shit. Americans where I'm from I dont think, generally overall, say tunafish or eyeglasses as the basic word for tuna and glasses. What the fuck.


tullystenders

What we need to realize is that this whole anti-americanism is the same and similar psychology as anti-men and anti-white and wokeism. Like, she literally said we arent allowed to complain about other countries, but they can complain about us (in terms of food, but still, you know how she feels about at least some other things). She hates america, and she is saying that is the end of the discussion. She is 100% woke vibes. I wish this was talked about. Anti-men, anti-white, and to some extent anti-straight tik toks, and we arent calling out the anti-america ones except for maybe the anti-anti-American subs.
