Reform UK vows to make Britain beautiful again with major crackdown on fly-tipping and littering - including tougher fines and National Action Day where MPs will lead local clean-ups https://t.co/umNGCH2wYq
@uncledoomer Yes they'll see you guys pay like $30 for some french fries and a bud light and instantly go home and kill every politician wanting closer ties to the US
@Mcphearson56942@lionel_trolling The arguments people love to make against British food almost invariably come from people that have never tried it and are simply taking the opportunity to join in on an easy target. They are obviously wrong, but it doesn't help much saying "only poor people food sucks"
@Mcphearson56942@lionel_trolling True, I am constantly reminded of how impressive the food variety you have access to in Britain at basically any level is compared to almost any other country in the world. But I would argue beans on toast to be far more beloved than confit duck, to borrow your original example.
@Mcphearson56942@lionel_trolling It's just ridiculous to be pretending that it's some rare struggle food just to try and seem more wealthy or cultured or something on the internet to random Americans that hate you anyways
@Mcphearson56942@lionel_trolling Oh come on fuck off "beans on toast is only the food of the desperate poor" it's a completely inoffensive dish that takes all of 30 seconds to make, no need to fall into their bandwagon and pretend it's some atrocity to score points with them
@kat_murabito_D I must admit I am very jealous of still having gas stoves as the default (afaik), so much nicer than wimpy unreliable electric stoves back home imo - but I will be returning to England with a newfound appreciation for my kitchen (and especially garden!!!!)
@kat_murabito_D@karma_is_a_kat@revenant_MMXX I did just stay with a friend for a couple weeks, first time staying in a normal Japanese house. His ex gf just moved out and took like all the kitchen stuff since she did all the cooking. Even then, was absolutely shocked by how basic the kitchen in his 3LDK was. No oven!!! Wtf
@kat_murabito_D@karma_is_a_kat@revenant_MMXX Yes, but the difference here is that ยฅ5000 is the average price for a single meal across most of Europe. I just ate like a fuckin pig in Ueno so I don't have to eat again for the rest of the day. It cost me like ยฅ2000. A decent single dish from a ๅฎ้ฃ chain is like ยฅ1200.
@karma_is_a_kat@revenant_MMXX Also incredibly lower costs of living compared to Europe. My mate in Nagoya gets 3LDK for like ยฃ400 a month!!! With two parking spots! Like 20 mins from Sakae! And petrol is like 40% cheaper! There really is no need to be so self flagellating. People are allowed to be jealous.
@karma_is_a_kat@revenant_MMXX Min wage in the UK is about double that of Japan. However food in the UK easily costs 4x more. Do you see why people make the comparison? Even by PPP, Japan has incredibly cheap food, other than certain groceries and fresh goods.
I'm happy to post under my real name that I want these people publicly disembowelled, ground into paste and fed to seagulls, or perhaps left to be consumed by maggots somewhere. The judicial system in this country has no shame in practically legalising rape.
