EDIT: Okay, it was a bit silly of me to drag my heels in, I don't strictly hate it and there are good things about British cooking (mostly veggies), but I find the meme's meat obsession super silly. I am having stomach pains and cramped arteries just looking at this stuff.

Highly underratedI love how it's superimposed on the diapers lmao, I hope the meme was ironic

As a non-USian, I don't think Mac and cheese is the slam dunk proof the meme maker thinks it is...

I've probably seen Americans excitedly introduce foreigners to Mac and Cheese about 10 times in my life and nobody has ever responded with more than "yeah, that's not bad I guess" or "huh, that's interesting".

If mac and cheese did not exist, America would have to invent it to defend her interests.

I think having your "food" take the place of soiled diapers is very funny

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I find that peoples' attempts to defend British food are often just as funny as people mocking British food, though often unintentionally.

It's sausages in a giant yorkshire pudding. Usually with gravy.

Good cold and wet weather food. It suits the British winter well.

Is this supposed to be british food good or british food bad, I can't tell.

Cause bacon sandwich is obvious, but fish and chips is just fried protein so that is good in the hivemind, toad in a hole sounds gross so thats obvious, but shepherds pie is just literally good, and beef pie I guess you could find gross if you really wanted to, and then mac and cheese is american right?

This could be a British meme making fun of being British. Self deprecation is a national sport, probably one of the best features of Brits is their ability to shit all over being British, and similarly wherever you currently live is always the shittest place in the country. It's just generally considered a virtue to do self deprecating banter, it's a sign of a strong person who can have a laugh and doesn't take themselves too seriously.

I don't think anyone in Britain considers "mac and cheese" British though and that phrasing isn't really British either, so I'm going to side with it being made by a yank.

If a Brit made it Greggs sausage rolls would have been included.

Tbh I hate British self deprecation, cause it seems to always end up paired with trying to deprecate everywhere else even more. Also seems to prevent them from actually defending British stuff that they wanna defend through any means other than just going for the lowest blows or bigoted shit.

As overblown as the meme might be, theres a reason people joke about "Well at least we've gawt healfcare/don't get shot in our bloody schools mate innit"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I am not sure what the intention was, but I find the presentation very unconvincing. I assume it was ironic as it is kind of on the nose with very starchy and meaty foods that are all the same color put over soiled diapers. I really like how much cognitive dissonance it causes, though.

The general rule of thumb is if the European country doesn't touch the Mediterranean, their food is complete trash. British, German, Swedish, Russian, Polish, Hungarian food. All complete trash. How many people will stand in line to taste that delectable Irish cuisine or Latvian cuisine or Dutch cuisine? Notice how all the European countries with actually existing cuisine like French or Italian or Greek all touch the Mediterranean. This extends to the settler colonies. Canadian food? Garbage. USian food? Garbage. Mexican food? Now we're fucking talking.

USA has banging food wdym. Tex-mex, creole, Cajun, New Yorkican, italian-american, chinese-american, shit slaps unless I missed your point

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

i think they're trying to do like a 'cracker cuisine' bit, USian being just the WASP midwest shit? i'm sensitive enough about cultural 'ownership' of food though i kind of reject a premise like that, even if its kind of jocular

Lmao what a ridiculous take. Being leftist doesn't mean you suddenly have to pretend to hate hearty meals or entire culinary cultures.

I dunno. I like a lot of Polish dishes and the bit of German I've had has been excellent.

Fish and chips, shepherds pie, and mac and cheese are amazing and I will fight anyone who disses them on non vegan grounds.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I agree and I hate Terf island. Shepherds pie is honestly a top tier meal.

like how the fuck can anyone (on non-vegan or strictly health-related grounds) oppose anything that has been battered and deep fried?

what is the excuse for all this lonely insufficiently spiced meat being stuck in stuff without vegg? not Ze Germans, they kept the brits from eating as much meat i imagine

in all cases i can imagine a way for the dish to be pleasant but in practice motherfuckers always make this shit bland and disappointing. tell me honest the likelihood of a mac & cheese at either a restaurant or a potluck to be genuinely good. its like less than half, and that's a dish where cheese can do all the heavy lifting.

Um its chewsday innit
