          Lmao, for sure use a bowl if it pleases you. I was more annoyed the spuds were not stewed. There should not be elements to a stew it should all be one pot, then some brown bread with a half inch of butter dragged across it.

          No guvnah here, though they tried to make it so for centuries.

      We eat that way because we don’t. Heart disease is the only way we’re going to end up going out quickly enough to avoid end of life hospital bills. I mean it’s not like any of us have the means to afford to retire.

    The yanks seem to be attracted to this meme like somebody desperate to paint a target and distract attention away from themself.

      Funny, but sadly, I’ve seen my best friend sharing these memes (neither from the U.K nor the U.S.).

      Since the first time I saw them, I thought they were kind of rude and probably inaccurate as no national cuisine is dull. I googled and read… What seems to have happened is that we’ve normalized British cuisine because it is part of many countries now. We think British dishes are regular dishes. Anyway, I don’t like these memes.

        Watched Once Were Warriors last night and the dinner Temuera Morrison has in that is even more bland and basic than any of these memes. So it’s more of classist meme than anything.

        Also, I think you’re right about loads of core British dishes just being ubiquitous now. My American colleague told me about the Shepherd’s Pie he made, which apparently came out a bit too rich.
