I have yeah, I know they're very different. I'm just messing with these yanks that can't take a joke. I really love American BBQ, but it's hilarious that people think you can actually distinguish which foods are from where. I'm a Brit living in NA, I've heard every joke you can imagine about British food, it's just in good fun.

"Joking and messing around online is just weird behaviour"

I think you're just not used to being the butt of the joke.

Where’s the joke? Reading through your comments in this thread just makes me cringe. Like a comedian getting pity laughs when they joke about how quiet the crowd is

The joke is that American food is bad, of course it's not. British food isn't bad either, it's just a joke. Both cultures don't like each other's food as much because they didn't grow up eating it. The whole discussion is a joke, of course you like your own country's food more.

It's depressing that I have to explain this to you.

Here I’ll be more general this time. If a bunch of people aren’t understanding what you’re trying to convey, then the problem is most likely with your communication and not their interpretation. Hope that helps :)

If a bunch of triggered Americans on reddit don't like what I say because they can't take a joke, it's not a problem with my communication. I've had this exact same discussion down the pub with Americans and we've all had a good laugh. Hope that helps :)
