dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

EDIT: Okay, it was a bit silly of me to drag my heels in, I don't strictly hate it and there are good things about British cooking (mostly veggies), but I find the meme's meat obsession super silly. I am having stomach pains and cramped arteries just looking at this stuff.

Highly underratedI love how it's superimposed on the diapers lmao, I hope the meme was ironic

what is the excuse for all this lonely insufficiently spiced meat being stuck in stuff without vegg? not Ze Germans, they kept the brits from eating as much meat i imagine

in all cases i can imagine a way for the dish to be pleasant but in practice motherfuckers always make this shit bland and disappointing. tell me honest the likelihood of a mac & cheese at either a restaurant or a potluck to be genuinely good. its like less than half, and that's a dish where cheese can do all the heavy lifting.

I like British baked beans. They're pretty good.

Full disclosure: I like anything parsnip-related and british food happens to have it sometimes.

My mom is British and makes mashed parsnips and yeah they’re basically mashed carrots and yeah they’re an abomination.

[–] Timberknave@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

I like them, but idk if I'd like them mashed

Critically underrated root vegetable in much of the west, tbh

[–] ElHexo@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Critically overrated, it's inferior to all the other more common things that have replaced it

There's a reason why parsnips were abandoned as soon as Europe got access to amazing new world vegetables

Um its chewsday innit

macaroni and cheese was invented by a french slave, right? not british in the slightest.

[–] Timberknave@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

I could only quote wikipedia at you which says the modern version originated in the UK, but was brought to the US by a slave named James Hemings. Others have said how culinary history is a complicated topic in general and I frankly am not interested enough to read on it and give you a confident answer. I mostly found the meme's execution so clumsy as to confuse people about its sincerity which makes it funny again.
