Blarghalt posted:So what actually happens if No Deal Brexit actually goes down? I see so many jokes about apocalypse scenarios that it's kind of hard to suss out the reality of it. i definitely will not be taking advantage of the resultant breakdown of civil society to burn down the local conservative club and then start hunting and eating people on the adjacent golf course especially if mi5 is reading this

A few years back, famous British racist car enjoyer Jerry Clarckson caused a very minor scandal when he said that Mexican food was "fried sick" When I first heard about it I thought it was a very offensive thing to say, but then I realized he was talking about British Mexican food and yeah, fair enough.

the nacho situation over here is loving dire too - for ages the only plain kind you could get were doritos. like, doritos before they even put flavor powder on it - just plain doritos. they're terrible e: oh and they don't have ranch over here so they call cool ranch "cool original" and i sincerely have no idea what idea it's trying to communicate.

Baloogan posted:i don't understand why the food in the UK is so universally bad it's actually no fooling mostly rationing. the industrial revolution did a shitton of damage to the national cuisine by making all food as mass produced and lovely as possible, but there was still a strong food tradition and good recipes and poo poo up until rationing (mostly in ww2) came in. then it became patriotic to cut out all the ostentatious spices, to prepare food to minimize waste ie boiling the poo poo out of it, using lower quality cuts of meat, sticking to stuff that the UK climate can produce - root vegetables mostly. kids grew up eating like that and learned to cook like it. it's not universally bad though - just white food is awful. anywhere with a large immigrant community will have awesome foods and curry is arguably the national dish.

if you want to learn more about british cuisine WDTATW recently did a podcast about it that i'm pulling most of this from https://www.podparadise.com/Podcast/1209155455/Listen/1533722474/0 an anecdote is how apple pies in the UK used to use cinnamon because of course it did, that's how you make an apple pie taste good. then ww2 happens, it gets dropped from all the recipe books as it was impossible to source and never never came back. now we have terrible apple pie forever.

Curries are very good in the UK and the only thing I ate when I lived there Oh yeah, and things like "chips and beans" after football because my teammates did too. Imagine having to eat chips covered with white beans in tomato sauce and pretending that that is a normal thing to eat.
