Stick to frying things and importing people with better food than you, my dudes.

nobody eats jellied eels. these aren't sold anywhere i've ever been.

i think americans think british food is bad because a stand up comedian started this 50 years ago or something but nobody actually knows what people eat here.

it's the same as what americans eat basically with some random changes that amount to nothing like instead of pancakes with syrup it's an english muffin with jam on it or something.

Insanely scared of anyone with a skintone darker than a Klansman's hood, no real food to speak of (it's all brought in by immigrants), run by a bunch of old people who, again, are pretty racist when it comes down to it, obsessed with "securing the border" and making sure no one comes in

I feel like back in the early 2000s English people on the internet were especially vocal and snobby about Americans for being boorish idiots and its incredibly vindicating to find out that they're just as fat and dumb as we are

Jellied Eels are eaten in the East End of London and almost nowhere else.

Eating British for a "culinary adventure" is a little like going to Siberia for a vacation. Sure, it would certainly be different than you're used to. Sure, the truth is a bit more nuanced than the bleak and dire public perception. Sure, there are things there that would be memorable. But, all in all, it's a strange thing to choose to do to yourself, given all the other options out there.

I answered your question limey

You asked how many Michelin star chefs there are. I answered. You then switched the question around because we kicked your rear end yet again

Sorry that British "food" basically consists of boiled pasties smothered in parsnip sauce but in the real world we eat lots of different foods

I asked how many American Michelin starred chefs there are, not how many Michelin starred restaurants there are in America, dipshit.

Even then your original answer isn't the boast you think it is, considering:

"In the U.S., the Michelin Guide covers the states of California, New York, and Illinois, plus Washington D.C."

California on it's own is at least twice the size of the UK, and I daresay New York has a similar density.

I interviewed a NK escapee who came to my school and made a thread. Then life got in the way and the translation had to be postponed. I did finish it in the end, but nobody is going to pay 10 bux to update my.avatar
I was about to make a thread like this!

I work with loads of British people and they're almost always the worst people to try and get along with. They never tell you how they really feel, hold grudges forever and become utterly psychopathic the moment they get into any position of power in the company.

Brits are weird.

Edit: referring to people from the south of England more than the rest of the UK.

these country-level observations are stupid bullshit which reveal prejudiced and nationalistic thinking being expressed in a way that is socially acceptable because the countries involved are predominantly white. yeah there are no true victims but it's all horseshit.
