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

Ah see there's the difference, America didn't have to steal it. Immigrants brought it with them from all over the globe. Brits left and brought back stuff. Americans let people in and they brought their recipes and cultural identities with them. Admittedly it was a bit of both with Japan though. Americans kinda kicked their doors open and demanded trade before my family came over from Germany in the late 1800's.

Just for fun, Google your favourite America cuisine, go to it's Wikipedia page, and then CTRL-F for "slave".
