      Is this where we pretend that Brits don’t consume obscene amounts of sugar and butter?

        No, there’s no point pretending they’re not fat cunts as well

        But we’re pretending they don’t consume vast amounts of spices too. They’re fat smelly cunts tbh

      You are clearly making a poor joke, but… Butter is literally what the French are known for. Sugarcane is from the South Pacific and sugar itself originated in India.

      Southern and Creole cuisine originated in America however, and that uses a ton of spices on par with native Indian cuisine.

        Industrial use of high fructose corn sirup is all American Capitalism, though.

        … And southern france hardly uses butter btw.

        sugar itself originated in India

        Lol, what? Also: it’s not about where the stuff came from but rather what the cuisine does with it. Italian or German cuisine doesn’t become south american all of a sudden cause of tomatoes and potatoes.

          Look I feel sorry for the Italians and the Germans but their food is American now. It’s just the way the world works. :)-
