Is this supposed to be british food good or british food bad, I can't tell.
Cause bacon sandwich is obvious, but fish and chips is just fried protein so that is good in the hivemind, toad in a hole sounds gross so thats obvious, but shepherds pie is just literally good, and beef pie I guess you could find gross if you really wanted to, and then mac and cheese is american right?
This could be a British meme making fun of being British. Self deprecation is a national sport, probably one of the best features of Brits is their ability to shit all over being British, and similarly wherever you currently live is always the shittest place in the country. It's just generally considered a virtue to do self deprecating banter, it's a sign of a strong person who can have a laugh and doesn't take themselves too seriously.
I don't think anyone in Britain considers "mac and cheese" British though and that phrasing isn't really British either, so I'm going to side with it being made by a yank.
If a Brit made it Greggs sausage rolls would have been included.
Tbh I hate British self deprecation, cause it seems to always end up paired with trying to deprecate everywhere else even more. Also seems to prevent them from actually defending British stuff that they wanna defend through any means other than just going for the lowest blows or bigoted shit.
As overblown as the meme might be, theres a reason people joke about "Well at least we've gawt healfcare/don't get shot in our bloody schools mate innit"
Alright well be fucking happy about it then, I hate this Churchill ass "ooooh we're the worst country ever, except for all the rest" type shit, it's miserable.
I am not sure what the intention was, but I find the presentation very unconvincing. I assume it was ironic as it is kind of on the nose with very starchy and meaty foods that are all the same color put over soiled diapers. I really like how much cognitive dissonance it causes, though.
I love a good fish fry, but that's a Wisconsin tradition.
Toad in a hole is one of the best breakfast items ever invented by mankind. So simple, yet so perfect.
