    OK, America unironically sucks for a lot of reasons but this isn’t one of them. No, we would not. And tinned beans for breakfast will never not be weird, sorry UK.

        If you put any more sugar into UK beans they’d qualify as caramel, what are you talking about.

            Ugh no, Heinz beans are beyond foul (tbh most Heinz stuff is gross - the US version of their tomato ketchup is practically a dessert topping at this point) but dude I have eaten lots of UK beans from many different places, they just like their beans sweet and syrupy. It doesn’t really make the list of English Food Crimes (minted mushy peas, boiled sprouts, drowning an entire fucking seven-dish dinner in brown gravy what is WRONG with them). I guess I can see why people would like it? I just find it deeply unpalatable.

              look you can insult the mushy peas and boiled sprouts go ahead only old people eat that stuff anyway but don’t you ever dare to insult gravy it’s the nectar of the gods and a roast dinner without at least half a jug of nice thick gravy just isn’t complete lovely meaty fatty juices

                I guess that’s fair, it’s not like the individual dishes have enough flavour to warrant being able to taste them individually anyways so there’s no real harm done by drowning it all in meat syrup…

                  sounds like you just can’t cook they can all be very delicious on their own the gravy just ties it all together in a perfect bow

                    I get it, it’s rough when nobody cares about the few cultural exports you’ve still got, and it’s even more rough to be confronted with the reality of the state your culture is in generally. I mean god, I sure fucking understand, I’m american and look at us right now. But I guess it’s not like you can cling to your actual national dish (Chicken Tikka) for a cultural identity, it might be a bit… awkward… at the state dinners with Modi.
