    jokes aside, i’d say british cuisine is definitely taking more flak than what it deserves.

      Of course it does. I grew up in the UK and it’s fun taking jabs but then you have a bunch of people who just keep doubling down as if they’re God’s gift to the kitchen.

      My favourite take of theirs is always what they exclude from English food but they’ll talk about American food and include everybody else’s cuisine …

          I can! I come from that area and it’s a real dish that is eaten commonly and served in pubs and restaurants. If you go to a local market, you can get then to take away with scoops of mushy peas in the container too.

          I don’t eat meat, so I can’t speak to the taste, but mushy peas themselves are delicious and shouldn’t taste anything like garden peas. They are more like a dal.

            Huh; I’ve gotten so used to all the non–slur-related uses of “faggot” that Brit.s employ that I didn’t even consider that was the source of the confusion.

            I was just like, “Of course; like in that one commercial.”
