    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.
