        Americans always shit on British food then come over and remark at how great it is.

        Americans try to substitute good food with size, sugar and oil.

          Haha I was just in England/UK/Britain and the food was whack, in England especially. The reason England is famous for its fish and chips is because it’s the only thing that is good.

          Curry is bomb though, but idk (honestly) if that counts. Colonizing India is the best thing that ever happened to England, sadly you cannot say the same going the other direction lol

          Haggis fucking rules though!

            You speak like someone that has never met a British person never mind not having been to the UK.

            The national dish of the UK is curry. There is curry everywhere.

            I went to an Indian restaurant in America the women actually lived in the UK and we was chatting. I ordered a hot curry and it was fine.

            But the Mexican woman behind me ordered a vindaloo which is a pretty standard dish in the UK. The Indian said “you had this before? Its very hot”

            But “no but it’s fine I’m Mexican. I can handle my heat”

            “I’m just warning you it’svery hot. You sure you want it? Maybe you want x, y, z instead if you ve never had it”

            “I’m good with heat. My family always makes things spicy”

            Anyway it came and she ate less than 10% of it before getting it boxed up.

              Eh, there are different kinds of “spicy”. Depending on how dead your receptors are after eating that “spicy” food before.

              So if you don’t notice some kind of spices anymore, and are going to try the same amount of something you’ve not tried before, it may be painful until your receptors are dead to that too.

              Personally I think it’s simply bad taste and bad cuisine to put large amounts of spices and salt into food. You should feel the actual flavor of what you are eating behind spices and herbs and salt and sugar and what not.

              You’re speaking to a person who will literally eat raw Carolina reaper peppers as a snack. 😋
              I’ve been eating hot Mexican salsa since I’ve been 3 months old (older sis gave it to me and I loved it) and dranking hot sauce out of the bottle pretty much my entire childhood. I will literally go far beyond my crying point and still keep going because it just tastes that good. Even when my tongue has become numb from pain, I still keep getting at it.
              I’ve had vindaloo, it’s honestly not that hot.
              Meanwhile, You bri’ish fucks are why “Mayo spicy” is a stereotype.

                  Vindaloo is 175,000 to 500,000 scoville.
                  That’s on my not hot list.
                  Try 1.2 million scoville phaal curry, it’s one of my favorite warm up foods, now that shit is GOOD. 😋😍
                  You fail to realize hot food in America is literally a fucking sport, like you sign a waiver that says if you die they’re not liable kind of sport.

      You’ve missed the way that British people actually boil water though, thus missing the true reason that we’re superior.

                    Difference = Virtually 0, only genetic.

                    They still hold 0 power either way.
                    King, Queen, or King/Queen’s consort their still just figureheads no different than a celebrity.

                    Also, she’s going to be a Queen Dowager very soon. 😏

      In our defence (spelt correctly) all of the above are acceptable, except the microwave. Reasons being that a) the microwave doesn’t boil it evenly, and you get pockets of mega heated water that bubble up and splash up in the microwave, then drip off the manky ceiling of the microwave and into your cup. B) microwaves stink. I don’t know anyone that uses one for anything other than popcorn or melting butter. But if you’re using it to cook as well… 🤢

        1. Clean out your fuckin microwaves.
        2. Convection currents stir the water automatically, heating it unevenly doesn’t matter. A stovetop also heats water unevenly.
        3. Stop microwaving fucking fish you dirty bastards. I will punt any mf who microwaves fish into the fuckin Gehenna.

        You gotta clean the microwave regularly like anything else. There are reasons why I would probably use my stove top over my microwave to boil water (though I do use a microwave to make tea when I just want a single serving), but your points about water splashing up everywhere and dripping down off of disgusting interior surfaces of the microwave sound a lot like operator error.

          If you’re microwaving water for more than 2-4 minutes you’re doing something very very wrong.
          1m 30s to 2mins is already enough for 1 coffee cup worth of water to reach boiling temp in the majority of microwaves.

            I’m just imagining @[email protected] microwaving a cup of water for way too long to absolutely volcanic results and then throwing up his hands in disgust before walking away from the swampy microwave without bothering to clean the mess up like a scene out of some infomercial for a device that solves microwave issues that don’t exist lol

          Or just like gently stir the water when it comes out of the microwave. You’d really have to overcook the fuck out of the water to create a risk of superheated water explosions. Tea should be slightly below boiling anyway.
