New York Times thinks Yorkshire pudding is a dessert, Brits get angry - Sensationalist Headlines

Why the fuck can't I delete quotes on my phone's? It's 2018 FFS! Hamburgers, uniquely American? You haven't looked up their etymology, right? Also, are you saying that French fries are American? What? Is this what cultural appropriation feels like? Um, that's not how it works, no

In most cases the United States is the outlier compared to the rest of the world, but American exceptionalism is very stubborn. Hence the complication.

Pancakes are desserts, muffins aren't bread, and what you guys call bread is fuckin' cake. The US needs to be put off their collective sugar high.

India is a commonwealth country. and a lot of the popular curry dishes were invented/defined in the UK.

British "pancakes" are actually crêpes, we just call them pancakes because fuck the french. American-style pancakes and Scotch pancakes are increasingly popular breakfast options here though. Yorkshire puddings can be considered a dessert based on the area in which you reside in the UK. For most they're a staple part of roast dinners often filled with gravy. In some parts of the UK they can be eaten with Jam as a dessert. Yorkshire puds are made with an almost identical recipe to traditional crêpes/pancakes but instead of plain flour you add self-raising flour to promote a rise when you bake them, though family recipes can differ quite a bit.

What you really need to blame is the fucked up food pyramid in North America that prioritizes massive amounts of grain foods per day. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/2304/4c7a1f2e-0b41-4f37-83b0-1436ebabb37f/image.png Here's a much more sensible diet that also happens to stand a good chance of offending the entire grain farming lobby, hint hint. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/2304/115fa9db-7028-4521-8e7a-922c7208b37f/image.png I once ordered pizza from Little Ceasar's here and I don't know if it was a bad day or a shit location but I was basically handed likewarm air-fluffed drywall soaked in oil with paper-thin toppings under a fairly thin spread of tomato sauce and a mat of something that can only generously be described as tasteless cheese. I was in Canada, not America, but I think I'd have had better luck with spiced cardboard with marinara and cheese.

I love being told my food is shit by people who's food is filled with corn syrup, preservatives and rapeseed to make it as cheap as possible which causes them all to die from obesity and colon cancer

6-11 servings of grains a day? Well that explains a few things

Food snobbery is dumb and annoying. Just eat whatever you want and leave other countries alone lol

Wedges are also distinct. Let me break it down https://i.ndtvimg.com/i/2018-02/fries_620x330_51517901541.jpg French fries ^ https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ4Ye29Et82Rd8ivApyM46YM2A-Tmax1MeMifiyG7dYKJdTgkI0 Chips ^ https://www.rotinrice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_W018.jpg Wedges ^ as you can see they're a similar principle, but vastly different in practice.

Have a fucking go at Strayan dialect mateys Please excuse the childish meme faces though https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/226043/50d769ac-85dc-4f4a-a902-7c1d178c4ded/E0AB5566-2A60-417C-B23D-5517732976BA.jpeg

where i am from the second batch of fries are called steak fries

Ever consider it was just a shit roast you was eating lol?

Get cultured son, Sunday roasts are bloody great. I have only fond memories of them

BBQ*, knoephla soup, southern fried chicken, breakfast cereal, mofuckin cream corn, and 2 dozen more. Despire America's immigration, its still created its own food that doesnt taste like a dried up old snatch. America adopting all of its food is a blatant lie. How dare you sir.

B-b-but look at this this fish head pie that's literally only eaten in an obscure cornish village festival that only happens once a year https://www.jusrol.co.uk/~/media/images/recipes/615x450/stargazypie.jpg Brits on suicide watch, am I right? Don't make me bring out that toast sandwich recipe as well, kiddo

The fact that half of those you stated are shit as 'cuisine' (breakfast cereal???) or just not American, like Knoephla, BBQ (kinda) and SFC makes me worry about the two dozen others on your list

Tbh British food just isn't that good in comparison to most other cultures dishes, at least in my experience. They're really contrived and often really not any good unless you spend a lot of money.

As with the other idiot above, this is your problem

Well I can only make a statement from my own experience, can't I?

Someone fucked that roast up then, and I have had plenty of bad ones - some people just can't cook them, and beef is risky because it's so easy to dry out, which people then cover up by drowning it in cheap gravy. A proper roast is a thing of beauty, much like a full cooked breakfast.

How the hell can you hate a Sunday roast, it's like a mini Christmas dinner. The only people who hate it are usually those that just binge on processed shite and never cook real food.

Loving the US-UK banter in this thread. Reminds me of this picture about Brexit: https://news.artnet.com/app/news-upload/2016/06/Clt6YuRWQAAdWBm-1024x768.jpg

the only yorkshire pudding worth eating is barry chuckles fat arse

who fucked up your sunday roast refer them to interpol

Knoephla soup is absolutely an American cuisine, as is BBQ. Not debatable. Southern fried chicken is as American as winning wars for Europe. I breakfast cereal not a food in England? Breakfast soup like cereal revolutionized the world.

This is a dumb thing I hear from europeans all the time. "YOUR BREAD IS TOO SWEET!" Yeah, well you ate ONE kind of bread used for making sandwiches and thought "well this is the only thing they have in America". There are plenty of other breads you can get, don't buy sliced white bread if you're not trying to make a sandwich. Even then you can get like whole wheat or something if you don't like that. You think our bread is too sweet? Try a Korean bakery. Bread is literally dessert in Asia.

Knoephla is German, SFC as you know it was African Slaves using Scottish cooking methods. Cereal, I guess, but you're not winning any points for being better than British cuisine there. If those things are American then I assume you have no problem with the various British curries discussed

Are the descendants of african slaves not Americans?

As much as the things he said were british are, yes. That wasn't really the key of the dispute there.
