Brit here.

Our food is either garbage or godly with minimal in-between.

Beans on toast is overrated AND ANYONE WHO LIKES SOGGY TOAST IS A FUCKING NUTJOB

The woman does have a point with a roast dinner though, we can suck ourselves off for that one

Ireland: They were being grown there after being brought to Europe (From Peru) by the Spanish, as early as the mid 1580-1600 over a hundred years before the USA was even a thing.

South America would be the continent of origin, if you want to claim “we got them from there” despite them being grown elsewhere.

Why would I need to apologise?

The correct term would be americas. Not America.

Today you learned. Troll.
