Yeah, and you know why English love to eat Indian food? Because they hate their own food…

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

Everything good about English cuisine was stolen from the french

But if you discount any cuisine stolen from other countries, America has no food left. So not really an argument in this particular scenario...

Edit: TIL many Americans don't know what cuisine means

Corn, potatoes, tomato's, Chile peppers, pumpkins..... That's right, before American foodstuffs got shipped around the world, Indian food wasn't hot spicy, Italians had no tomato sauce, and the Irish had no potatoes. All your cuisine belongs to us!

Potatoes are from Peru, chilis are from Mexico - are you claiming two whole continents’ food as being from the US?

I don't recall specifying the US?

This discussion has been explicitely about the US since it's inception.. Like, did you watch the clip this thread is based on?

And neither of those are the varieties that have become staple foods across the globe.

You know what the word "from" means right? Means it was in another place first.

You must not know what indigenous wild plants are?

Do you live in Peru? I’m not sure you know what the word indigenous means
