@ifiwasrichard Putting shit in cheese isn't making a different kind of cheese. It's just the same cheese with different shit in it.

@Mindpron @BarneyFlames The US has higher rates of obesity, cancer, heart disease and diabetes than the UK. It also has a lower life expectancy. Food regulations are there for a reason. The fact that you see that as "propaganda" speaks volumes.
English
@jacktheknave69 @BarneyFlames Wow, you really sucked down that propaganda hard didnt you?

> high quality ingredients
> Literally some of the worst cheese and bread in the world
FandomFighter🇬🇧/🇮🇪(Regnum Irae)@fandomfighter29
It tastes much fresher without that, british food relies on high quality ingredients rather than saturating items with a myriad of seasonings.
English
@Mindpron @BarneyFlames Hate to tell you, but some US producers still do use chlorine. Plus there's Hormone-Treated Beef & Pork, Chemical Dough Conditioners, Preservatives (BHA & BHT), Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO), Synthetic Chemical Dyes, etc, etc...

@jkeyat @groove_sdc The population of the UK is 69 million. We have many Michelin starred restaurants outside London.
English
@jacktheknave69 @groove_sdc And the U.S. has more Michelin Starred restaurants than the U.K., which I'm assuming is why you specified "per capita" for a city of 9.1 million as opposed to a nation of 342.6 million. Incidentally.
English
Being this arrogant about how horrible British food is pretty on brand actually.
It's why when I lived in London briefly I just followed the expats from the Caribbean, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Their food actually tasted good.
English
@Notgoinback71 @clevercorvidae_ We don't. The US has worse teeth on average, but as a result of that you attach more significance to "perfect" teeth, so all the folks on your TV have veneers.
English
no one actually eats that. but from what im hleaning yall actually eat cold uncooked onions and a cold block of cheese on untoasted bread
TLTM@TLTM32
Americans in the quotes be like "that food is disgusting, now let me eat my canned chicken and squeezy cheese in peace"
English
@clevercorvidae_ Riddle me this: if that sandwich was commonplace, would it have gone viral?
English
@mary_pezzulo We basically eat the same stuff you guys do. We're arguing over exceptions and outliers.
English
Okay, now I'm REALLY sad. Do English people really not cook sandwiches?
Chris@BaileyStan12
One of the most baffling responses I've seen from Americans to this is "cook your food". This is a sandwich, you don't cook a sandwich.
English
@tatertotsconor @MissesDread Oh, I know, I'm just saying that some folks will argue over anything, and Brits are as guilty of that as anyone!
English
@jacktheknave69 @MissesDread I’m not actually blaming you. I think it’s silly, too.
English
Uhm...do you not just order food when you're ready to eat it? If you need something cold, why not just have cheese and crackers? Nothing you can say justifies the existence of this sandwich.
Rightly So@TeaNoSugar1987
@dthadirector How you going to do that in a pub? Then you going to leave it on the side to go cold and claggy? You need to think.

I bought a similar house one street over from this one when I was working as a regular 31 year old engineer. We had huge neighborhood get togethers for holidays and backyard parties. I could walk to the grocery store, to work, to restaurants, and to graduate school after work.
This is not a terribly nice town, jokes are made about it in California. But look at the house, neighborhood, and price. This price and home are very accessible for a California family.

Americans have plenty to be proud of. I envy the risk-taking culture, the disdain for bureaucracy, the tech scene, the universities, but hardly any European envies the house sizes, food portions, or even the salaries.
Daniel Friedman@DanFriedman81
In 2007, the standards of living in the United States and Western Europe were similar, and most people don’t realize how much things have diverged since the US boomed after the global financial crisis and Europe didn’t. They don’t fully understand how we’re living and we don’t fully understand how they’re living; even when we visit Europe as tourists, we don’t see their tiny, sad flats and their depressing grocery stores. That is why Europeans visiting for the World Cup are going to, like, a Waffle House or a Taco Bell and losing their minds. Stuff we don’t even like or care about is wildly superior to everything everywhere else. We have no idea how rich we are.
English
@jkeyat @groove_sdc Well, it takes quite the logical leap to get from "the Brits get more attention from the French food police" to "British food is horrible" which was the OP's point. (The UK has the second most Grammy wins, incidentally.)
English
@jacktheknave69 @groove_sdc And Beyoncé has the same amount of Grammy Awards as Adele and Paul McCartney combined. Do you see the logic here?
English
@_midori_me_ @DIDDY_MARXIST They really aren't, if only because that kind of sandwich is only found in a very specific small subset of old British pubs. Like, I don't recall ever seeing one in the wild, and I've drunk in a lot of pubs. But folks will seek to defend their nation's idiosyncracies.
English
@jacktheknave69 @DIDDY_MARXIST No, we think a lot of Brits are literally saying it’s THE drinking food & is delicious. We aren’t claiming you only have access to that bread, onion, and single type of cheese.
Brits love soccer so much they can’t stop moving goal posts.
English
You think Americans cant buy British cheese?
Do you think that the grocery store only sells one kind of bread?
English
@jacktheknave69 @groove_sdc If Adele having loads of Grammy Awards disproves my point, then wouldn't NYC alone having 72 Michelin starred restaurants disprove yours?
English
English
@tatertotsconor @MissesDread Well, calling you names over a silly sandwich is silly. The original post was very much a joke. But some people just like to argue. I mean, are you "friends" with all of *your* fellow citizens?
English
@jacktheknave69 @MissesDread Tell that to your friends who are staunchly defending it and getting furious at the criticism, lol. They’re not joking. They’re MAD. Had one call me names yesterday for an hour.

Guys it's almost 2 AM in the UK, if you're really this committed to this sandwich it had better be a paraphilia by now
Laura Robinson@LauraRbnsn
I have never had one of these in all my times in the UK. I have to be honest: I do not get it. I'm sure with fresh bread and good sharp cheddar it's good. But it photographs like an unfinished sandwich. Like you're supposed to take that packet home and make your own sandwich.

@jacktheknave69 @groove_sdc Gee, I wonder why Michelin, the French tire company, has given more stars across Europe than it has the U.S.. It's almost as perplexing as why British music artists never win Grammy Awards!
English
@Got_TheVapors @BaileyStan12 It's American, so surely foolproof, right?

How are people in Europe still alive?
