      Is this where we pretend that Brits don’t consume obscene amounts of sugar and butter?

        No, there’s no point pretending they’re not fat cunts as well

        But we’re pretending they don’t consume vast amounts of spices too. They’re fat smelly cunts tbh

      You are clearly making a poor joke, but… Butter is literally what the French are known for. Sugarcane is from the South Pacific and sugar itself originated in India.

      Southern and Creole cuisine originated in America however, and that uses a ton of spices on par with native Indian cuisine.

        Industrial use of high fructose corn sirup is all American Capitalism, though.

        … And southern france hardly uses butter btw.

        sugar itself originated in India

        Lol, what? Also: it’s not about where the stuff came from but rather what the cuisine does with it. Italian or German cuisine doesn’t become south american all of a sudden cause of tomatoes and potatoes.

      I mean obviously you’ve never taken the time to explore the US. US food is utterly fantastic.

      Our beer is better too.

        What’s the difference between the US and a cup of yoghurt?

        Yoghurt will have developed a culture after being left alone for 250 years. /j

        Edit: Sorry, should have said "what’s the difference between white Americans.

          You have your yoghurt. I’ll take the bbq, whiskey, and our massive dining industry that produces the best food on the planet.

            Lol. You can keep your bland Whisky (I’ll take Irish, thanks) and your industrially processed junk food, filled to the brim with corn sirup.

                American here. I have never seen a fellow American refer to themself as a Yank. I thought that word was reserved for WWII British soldiers.

                  You never sang “Yankee Doodle,” or “Yankee Doodle Dandy” on July 4, even as a kid? I’m southern as can be and these were staples on the Fourth, Memorial and Labor Days, as well as bright red hotdogs, chips (crisps), soda and Budweiser and PBR.

                    I’ve heard those songs, but it doesn’t mean I call myself a yank in conversation. It sounds antiquated.

        I’ve never had a decent American beer. PBR is the closest to decent I’ve ever had.

              While I haven’t lived there I’ve done several trips through the country. Maybe 7 weeks in total? I’d choose Belgium if I were to choose a regional winner.
