British food is unironically amazing.

Roast dinners, English Breakfast, British-Indian cuisine, cakes/puddings, pies and pastries, casseroles, cheeses, fucking sandwiches, a well-executed fish and chips. Shit, even super basic stuff like Macaroni cheese can taste really good if it's made with some good technique.

But what's even more amazing is the US's ability to push stereotypes based on WW2 rationing even into the 2020s.

Agreed. I was raised by an English father and an English grandmother. There is a lot of amazing British cuisine. A good shepherd's pie is heavenly. Sure, there's also disgusting British food (I'm looking at you, Marmite), but there's disgusting food in every culture.

Also, British candy is so much superior to American candy. I can't think of a single candy in America that comes even close to a Rowntree's black currant fruit pastille. And the British know what licorice is. Americans think it's that red shit and they think real licorice is disgusting.
