As a European who has had the misfortune of trying American 'mayo', I now understand why you dont put that on fries over there.

I’m assuming it’s like when I made the mistake of trying the salsa when I was in London.

Someone got suckered into eating in Trafalger square

When I was in London for two weeks, the Indian food was terrific, but everything else was poo poo. Like people from London were telling me "you have to go to this place!" and then it was just bland as gently caress.

Same but New York to be honest, but replace Indian with sandwiches.

The 'bland as gently caress' stereotype is from the 1950s, before curry restaurants were much of a thing over here. Given what non-ethnic white Americans were cooking up in the 1950s, it's very much a throwing stones from glass houses thing. That said phal specifically is the 'guy in his 20s after 6 lagers trying to impress his mates' stereotype.

The Phall and the far hotter Tindaloo were made because pissed idiots kept asking for the hottest thing on the menu.

Americans do this weird thing of holding onto odd stereotypes about the UK far longer than anyone else.

cooking at home is bigly overrated. do it as a hobby if you want i guess but nobody at home can beat the efficiency of specialized labor + economies of scale that restaurant kitchens can deliver.
