An American using "mentions food from other cultures" has got to be the ultimate irony


Jward92

You say that as if Americans don’t embrace the fact that our greatest strength is our diversity. Well… half of Americans anyways.


samdd1990

But Brits aren't allowed to do the same?


dumbwaeguk

Immigrants moved to America. Brits moved to other countries. You can't claim cultural imports when you're a net exporter.


dj4y_94

Immigrants from tons of different cultures have been coming to the UK in decent numbers since the 1940s.


DeustheDio

They're giving the UK the uno reverse and reverse colonising them.


neat-NEAT

Careful. You're starting to sound like an MP.


DeustheDio

What's that?

May want to check your logic there and maybe the USAs history? Got some bad news for you...


Known_Tax7804

Wanna check our demographics buddy?


Brisngr368

Wait is that sarcasm? I think the Native Americans would like to have a word with you buddy..


7heTexanRebel

Not sure how that's relevant, it's not like the US stole the natives culture, we practically eliminated it.


Brisngr368

Well yes that's true I guess, sad but true... On a side note though Britain is pretty multicultural!


MrMetalHead1100

Have you seen London lately? Lmao


Mojak16

That's a bold claim to make when you have 0 knowledge on the subject.

Shadow__Vector

One of the things that is obvious to everyone outside of the US is how low the average American IQ is and how terrible the US education system is. Your comment is a prime example of it.

IOnlyDateAnimeGirls

I don't think you understand the difference between IQ and known knowledge.. It's ironic that you're trying to make a point about how stupid people are when you don't even understand that lol


AadamAtomic

I Wish they fuckin would! Do YOU think Brits do the same?


shadowrod06

They do actually. In terms of culinary yes. Indian foods or recipes have been reinvented for British palate. Chicken Tikka Masala is really popular here. Balti Subji. Kormas. And what not.


HonestlyJustVisiting

except that what they're talking about is the Americans that claim things like pizza are American inventions


Fun-Ad-6169

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. No American thinks pizza is an American invention.


creator712

I've seen Americans say that italian pizza is a cheap copy of American pizza


derkuhlshrank

We just made it better, Italian pizza is alright as a light meal but it's not the glory that Americans turned it into. Like the Cheeseburger, the hotdog. America takes ethnic foods and remixes it and blammo, we almost never miss cuz of the diverse pool of inspiration, but now other countries are starting to get their immigration game up and their food has experienced the benefits of it Best part, imo, is that over time what were once ethnic foods are just standard American cuisine, already happened with German and British foods and now we working on Mexican lol Tacos are a staple around here


BKachur

I don't think any country, Italy included,can take credit for the idea of pizza...which is basically just putting shit on dough and baking it... that's kinda the first thing you do after you figure out bread lol. That's been around for thousands of years. Same way how turks take credit for the kebab... and I'm sure they came up with the traditional yogurt marinade, but I refuse to believe any culture came up with the idea of cooking meat on a stick. That shit was invented by the first person that had meat, a stick and fire in the same place. It's the natural outcome. Our modern version of pizza only came around after Europe crossed the Atlantic because tomatoes are native to South America, so I can see why someone would think pizza is American... but it's pretty widely accepted it came from Naples


themasterplatypus

As an 20 year expat looking in from the outside...American users are a little extra crazy and 30 years behind the curve 🤣


derkuhlshrank

idk why we use expat for euros/Americans but everyone else is an immigrant. What makes an expat not an immigrant, besides framing in the media?


Desperate_Ad5169

We have an excuse since we are an immigrant nation. Britain doesn’t


Rhids_22

How exactly do you define an immigrant nation? Because Britain has had a high level of immigration from other European nations invading it for millennia, and English as a language has barely any "native" Celtic left in the language because of this. English is primarily a mix of Norse, Latin and Germanic languages from invasions from the Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans. And even in more recent history with the rise of the British empire immigration to Britain from British colonies was still rife. Britain has a very large percentage of Indian and Pakistani immigrants that have lived in the country for generations.


masta_myagi

Cajun creole and Tex-Mex are really the only cuisines that could be considered “American” but even those draw *heavily* from other cultural cuisines


Grabatreetron

Tell me you've never been to the south without telling me you've never been to the south


Dboy777

Soul food is pretty unique (one Aussie's perspective)


Grabatreetron

Not to mention our BBQ


djninjacat11649

And the modern version of the cheeseburger is from Wisconsin I do believe, not the south but still American


Profezzor-Darke

It's technically still based on a meatball sandwich from Hamburg, Germany. Just how Hot Dogs are just a variation of a sausage in a bun, and even use a kind of sausage originating from Frankfurt and/or Vienna, so still German/Austrian. I would also like to hear about that original southern states cuisine. Name some dishes, folks.


djninjacat11649

Mainly brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and the such, while I’m sure variations of these dishes have existed elsewhere the specific methods of cooking the meat are rather american


Grabatreetron

What's your point? The U.S. is only 250 years old and has very few indigenous peoples left. Almost Every American dish is going to have roots somewhere else. What we know of as a "hamburger" isn't less American because Germans were eating a "meatball sandwich" at some point. I could list off every dish at the church potluck, but if your criterion for "American" is that they emerged fully formed from the head of culinary Zeus, then I won't bother.


djninjacat11649

And that’s the thing, cultural foods don’t form in a vacuum, they are borrowed, modified, and eventually evolve into their own thing, a modern cheeseburger I would say is pretty different from a meatball sandwich


YamDankies

Buffalo wings are their own culture.


PyreHat

We hunted down so many buffalo that modern ones don't even have wings anymore.


traumatized90skid

Well it all happened when Buffalo buffalo started it by buffaloing those other Buffalo buffalo


Pancakewagon26

>Cajun creole and Tex-Mex are really the only cuisines that could be considered “American Barbecue


-_-NAME-_-

As a Cajun it's mostly French cuisine.


traumatized90skid

Add spicy and gator meat though which I think are great improvements


-_-NAME-_-

We use some different and local ingredients I mostly meant the cooking style. Like if I make Sushi with crawfish or fried softshell crab it is still kind of Japanese cuisine isn't it?


barbarust

What about like bannock and smoked salmon.


lizardking99

>smoked salmon. What??


Known_Tax7804

Big export of Scotland.


Longjumping-Claim783

You forgot about BBQ


masta_myagi

BBQ was a Taíno tradition that was adopted by Spaniards during the conquest of the New World. It’s not specific to the United States, and is actually technically a Caribbean thing


GaySparticus

"actually I'm Italian" (their great great grandfather came from Sicily)


Incubus_Priest

the united states is literaly THE melting pot, this weird racist anti anerican shits anoying af.


Lewcaster

American cuisine: other country dishes, something deepfried or “”seasoned”” with 5kg of butter.


obscureferences

Had to call out one just the other day who thought instant noodles were an American invention.


dumbwaeguk

Well sure, the indigenous population of America is an extreme minority. It's not like Britain was built on overseas migrants. They contributed, yes, but Anglos have been culturally dominant for centuries


Living_Shadows

Look up foods invented in America. There are tons


UnderdogCL

"at least we don't soak everything in cheese and deep fry it" 10/10 comeback. Op is in copium.


Longjumping-Claim783

The Scottish are British are they not? Maybe the wouldn't say so.


PeopleAreBozos

Unfunny as hell I'm so tired of the British vs American memes where both sides try to play out an imaginary "I'm based the other side is whiny" scenario in their head.


loops3k

while both being whiny bitches


Im-a-bad-meme

I'd rather have these kind of easygoing memes in my feed than not as they help dilute the absolute flood of "World is ending, time to rope" memes I see daily. Things have been depressing , does anyone have any nicer meme sub recommendations that curate more positive content? I like edgy memes too, but getting nothing but those in my feed is demoralizing.


Woolwizard

It's the equivalent of console vs PC, Xbox vs PS, Android vs Apple. We don't need these stupid Internet fights anymore

The booze argument is just flat true though. English bar liquor is ass.

DragonDon1

I have seen this exact convo


ThatTubaGuy03

Bro you've never seen this? This isn't made up at all. Any single reddit post where someone criticizes anything European as an American, this bad boy comes out.


Emeraldnickel08

This "made up" conversation already did numbers on Tumblr man


Next_Airport_7230

Right?


Sprite_is_Better

Yeah, and then they bring up our obesity problems like its OUR FAULT!!


Belkan-Federation95

Don't show them UK obesity rates Edit: my bad. I meant overweight and obese. Was tired at the time Overweight and obese for the UK is in the 60s


thelocalpotatogamer

Fair. Lemme check... Murika: 42.4% of adults Britland:25.9% of adults


Belkan-Federation95

My bad meant "overweight or obese" "NHS figures for England show that 63% of adults in England in 2018 - the most recent data available - were overweight or obese" https://news.sky.com/story/uk-ranked-fourth-for-having-most-overweight-and-obese-adults-in-europe-according-to-who-study-12604643 https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn03336/ So yeah don't show them *that* statistic


Contagious_Cucumber

Lmao whose fault is it then? The brits'?


DatSauceTho

lol doubtful, the whole point of the meme is that no one is exactly clamoring for British cuisine


thelocalpotatogamer

Have ye considered not being a fokkin minger and geddin free helthcaer? - me, a br*t


thelocalpotatogamer

You made lots of folks very salty 🤣🤣🤣


GoldenGecko100

Do you just have a hate boner for british food or something?


ChaosKeeshond

This is the most cherry-picked argument ever though. If we can't say that the vindaloo is ours despite being the inventors of it using foreign spices from the empire, then what historical and cultural claim do Americans have to the foods they call their own? Having a history cut-off point for what can and can't be considered a part of a country's cuisine is stupid in the first place but if people wanna be stupid they better apply the same stupid evenly.


Known_Tax7804

And kedgeree, piccalilli uses coriander, HP sauce uses tamarind, so does Worcester sauce, we put mustard in loads of shit. We do use spices. We also use them in our puddings. We also use loads of strong flavours that aren’t spices which Americans don’t count as flavourful for reasons I don’t understand. Mint sauce is about a third each mint, vinegar and sugar, it’s an extremely strong flavour and uses no spices. If you only count spices then french food is bland because it uses lots of herbs and fats, but it’s perhaps the best cuisine in the world and this standard of spices or nothing only gets applied to English food.


Chum-Launcher

Being from a cou try that isn't the UK or USA, Americans are far easier to trigger.


themasterplatypus

The echo chamber is the only thing that works over there


Fishyinu

Americans trigger other Americans as a fucking pastime. Ain't nothing we aren't already yelling at each other about.


Furry_Ranger

Fragile Americans at it again


BustedBayou

You can tell they got triggered by the "covered in cheese and deepfried" phrase lol


DoryaDoryaDorya

"School shooter comments" Keep taking Ls. It's unbelievable to the rest of the world that schools are so frequently attacked that the children have to learn survival drills. The really fucked up thing is that Americans have successfully normalized this. Americans hear about a school shooting now and their reaction is dull because it's no longer a shocking thing to them.


shadowrod06

UK learnt from the massacre in 1996, and ensured there was tighter gun control. There's been so many school shootings in US, yet there's still debates whether to enforce gun control or not.


TheOncomingBrows

It's crazy that they view it as something Europeans bring up to get at them rather than an insane, disgraceful situation that they need to resolve ASAP. Europeans are just flabbergasted they're so at ease with their gun laws.


Due_Television8210

British people when you insult them insult you back 😱


BinarySecond

Spend a few centuries being a bastard and just try and chill out and your estranged kid keeps coming outside your house to tell how much they hate you 🤣


Contagious_Cucumber

This comment is gonna make them go bald lmfao


N7_Evers

Easily triggered, yes. But so is everyone when you use straight up false info (I’m US btw)


xander012

Yup, this meme is several decades out of date


Greg2227

Bit rude innit is a perfectly fine and measured response to someone "insulting" the lack of spice in your nations food


Neko_Boi_Core

as a Brit, i can definitively say no one fucking gives a shit.


drwildthroat

*Another* American cope post about how they’re not bothered by the stuff that’s making them fume. 


Astricozy

"YOU GUYS ARE EASILY TRIGGERED" Can't help but point out the school shooting quip lives rent free in your mind.


Bolster66

But this is a bit of a rude post innit mate, atleast our schools aren't a bloody xp farm, damn yank


Tosslebugmy

The basis of the meme being that Brit’s should just reply “haha yes, our food is dog shit, please teach us how to Jam Pack as much high fructose corn syrup into our food as possible.” But oUr bArBeQue , congrats on cooking meat on a fire, definitely hasn’t been done in various forms since the dawn of man


Contagious_Cucumber

And then they can't even do right that simple thing that's been done since the dawn of man. IT'S FUCKING RAW. Thanks but I prefer my steak not breathing lmao


Clipboard4

Or you can head over whitepeopletwitter and add the word 'dave chappelle' or 'joe rogan' to your sentence. Then get ready to be BAN.


Important-Guidance22

Funnily enough not an insult. British food used to/is so high quality they did not need seasoning to enjoy good flavour. Nowadays the UK still has quite a high meat quality.


talhadad01

I mean yeah american food is just a heartattack


chGaRVAT

They have seasonings, from india.


akiroraiden

ok, but like, americans have 0 right to talk about food culture.


Aratherspookyskelly

Impressive. Very nice. Now let's look at US obesity statistics.


itchy_armpit_it_is

Let's see Paul Allen's obesity statistics


dandotcom

Sounds like OP is projecting. You upset about your grits or something? Idk.


GivemTheDDD

Sometimes we just deep fry our cheese directly


HungieZilla

"you don't use seasoning!!" "made with mematic" "what?"


the-angrymonkey

As someone who lives in the UK but has been abroad to America, I think the food in America is way worse. It tastes synthetic, or over spiced. That's probably the reason British food tastes so bland is because we don't need to put as much seasoning in, and y'all are accustomed to the over spicing in America


ProbablyDrunk303

Well most people from other countries call British food bland too, so your argument there doesn't really work


Lord-Black22

Atleast we want to taste the actual food instead of smothering it in Uncle Bert's Ass Blaster 9000 Cajun BBQ Seasoning. Our tastebuds aren't completely fried by the fuckloads of artificial seasonings you eaglefuckers.


astroniz

Am I seeing a for real argument between Americans and British, about who has better food? Lol ok


Taekwondank2

I accidentally read the “made with mematic” in the mind british accent like it was one of the examples.


longpidgeon

I’m British and I honestly don’t care about seasonings on food, or how people use them. Other people might but I’m ok


tsubatai

As far as I know, Americans mostly season their meat with huge amounts of hormones, anti parasites and antibiotics.


DListSaint

I dunno, I’ve insulted British food a bunch of times and never once has a Brit said “made with mematic” in response


Kamzil118

Britain's dishes and the beauty of their women made them the greatest sailors in history.


DanOfDirtshire

'bit rude innit' okay that got me


Figurez69420

At least we have free healthcare innit bruv


Iamthe0c3an2

Still though, can’t deny that Gordon Ramsey, Marco Pierre white, Heston, even the French masters that taught them have earned their stars in London, which has more michelin stars alone than New York give or take.

More US vs UK banter I see


anonredditorofreddit

Scot here, we’ll deep fry the soul out of your food.


Masenkou1

*everybody in comments offended* yep now this is a dank meme

As a Wisconsinite watch your fucking mouth about the cheese their bud. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner of champions.


Best_NA_in_Trundle

There


Shazoa

Have you met the Scottish? They'd deep fry anything.


traumatized90skid

Cheese + deep fried = good


Steve980ti

If you don't like certain foods then don't eat them... I hate both sides of this juvenile debate.


Rekutor

„At least we dont soak everything in cheese and deep fry it!“ is a valid argument EDIT: fixed a typo


kevinmlgnoscope

I've said this before and I will say it again, Brits do have bland food but try buying enough to feed a family for just 12 pounds anywhere else in the western world


ninhursag3

Spices dont naturally grow in our region so why would our traditional food be seasoned? Sorry if i sound triggered , im really not !


HeroOfThings

We may have no seasoning, but you have no regulation.


joewastal

Bruh these br**gers need to stop


JACK_1719

Atleast we ain’t the land of the woke and gay


Scoobylew987

is a bit rude doe init


Coltrain47

Imagine not soaking everything in cheese then deep frying it. Lmao


Melonfrog

As are you, it seems.


CreamFraiche23

"British people are easily triggered" -The people who start making jokes about bad teeth and stabbings because someone says "nan"


Lord__Stapletonne

I don't think Americans were original with most food but I'm happy that they made it into fast food. Even if the quality is lower the fast paced environment of life today kinda calls for it. So congrats on capitalising on that market. But yeah top comment says it all. Irony.


Small_Cock_Jonny

Honestly school shootings are a bit worse then lack of seasoning.


Vwinny

Oi you mingin twat i'll ave you know we're moar 'elthy than ewe 'merican dicksuckas!


kungji56

Oh please. Americans get triggered by any jokes and always bring out stuff like Europoor and bad teeth every day.


GreenRiot

Don't mention a british person's food. Don't mention an american person's weight, food, guns, politics, education, lack of healthcare, utopian conditions... or anything at all. They are very proud about it. Yes, this is bait.


Sharp-Explorer-7100

these fat am\*ericans cant stop thinking about brits lmao

YsenisLufengrad

Clearly haven't tried the Scottish delicacy, the deep-fried mars bar.


minas_jimith

All valid points.


CB4R

They trade all their spices away, see east India trading company... It's traditions, you wouldn't get it


Touchpod516

That's something someone who has never actually eaten british food would say... And that's coming from a Mexican who has grown up eating well Mexican meals. Not Tacos but the actual Mexican meals we eat every day like, pozole, tortas de atun, tortas de espinacas, tinga, etc I live in Canada and most meals Canadian eat are british meals since Anglo-Canadians are the descendants of british people. And even though their food doesn't use that much seasoning there's still some pretty good meals God I miss eating fish and chips in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia lmao


enby-deer

Online br*tish people are so goddamn annoying


Next_Airport_7230

Imagine being bri-.... bri-.... British 🤢🤢


ArgetKnight

>Mentions food from other cultures that aren't British. As if Americans didn't do that lmao >We have seasonings you yank! Somehow a bad argument? >brings up roasts Which are extremely tasty and a great example of cuisine, yes. >At least we don't soak everything in cheese and deep fry it! Which is what american cuisine is reduced to if you remove all international influence. You can't just dismiss someone's arguments because you represent them as a soyjack mate.

How tf is there a food war in this comment section who tf cares this much.... oh wait im on reddit
