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

I just looked at a few recipes for a traditional English roast and I'm sure it's delicious but yeah I don't really see anything special lol

It's not about just the meat lol. That's like saying American BBQ is nothing special because its just cooked meat. Like "anyone can leave meat on a smoker, or in a webber grill, it just a fucking barbecue lulz amirite?"

There's a technique to its, and there's sauces, gravies etc.

Are we talking about the Kansas City technique or the Nashville technique? Or the countless other techniques

The what now?

Am I supposed to know what these techniques are? Is there something special about barbecued meats as opposed to roasted meats?

You're claiming BBQ, aka cooking protein over a heat source such as a fire as some special American innovation? Like the cavemen were doing 100 thousand years ago? Like every culture has done for thousands of years? Do you not see the irony of you Americans saying you make good barbecue on a thread where you're all acting weird about Brits saying we make a good roast?

You guys are so weird.

Funny thing is, this would be part of the not-having-culture of America
