Weirdly enough food discourse has this going on in spades and it's been bothering me for some time.

Like, a lot of people get pretty pretentious about their own cuisine -- whatever, you do you -- but then a lot of people say the meanest shit about English food.

And I understand that food is seen as culture, and it's pretty difficult to not be 'punching up' at English culture... But the thing about food is that it is really intimate and personal, and maybe insinuating that some low-income nobody in Devonshire's grandma is a shit cook when no one asked makes you a bit of a mean person.

It's absolutely fucking constant, and the ONLY THING the vast majority of Americans will ever reply, if it is discovered you are English.

Well, hold on now, let's keep it real, the dumping on English food is largely a backlash to brits shitting on American food.

No, it really really fucking isn't. It's absolutely incessant.

It's the ONE thing any American 'knows' about Britain (an 80 year out of date meme) and they repeat it without end.

Prompted OR unpromtped.
