Food guide;

British food is tasteless
French food is pretentious
italian food takes all afternoon
American food is poisonous
Indian food is special because it uses something called “spice” and no one else does apparently
asians eat rice
anyone east of Berlin eats either turnips or caviar

What did I miss ?

American food is poisonous

American food is grease and sugar. Pure grease and sugar. Sometimes combined. God, I want a funnel cake right now.

Dammit, I just realized I haven't had a funnel cake in literal years. How sad.

While this meme is suburb, I assume you're aware that the legacy of bland British food is heavily influenced by WW2 and post-war rationing. It had an impact even here in the US, but a much stronger one in the UK where they were rationing well into the 50s if I remember right.

Culinary history is a fun branch.
