    Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven…

    But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else’s cuisines.

    By this logic the Japanese don’t have curries and the Americans don’t have pizza, or any other food for that matter.

      Exactly.

      And India doesn’t have chillies add Italy doesn’t have tomatoes… Where do we stop?

      Fun fact: Britain didn’t invent roasting hunks of meat. Or Sundays. Or the combination thereof.

      apple crumble

      That’s not a real thing. That’s just something English people say to sound whimsical.

      Correct. Only Neolithic cultures have their own foods.

      Edit since it’s apparently not as obvious as I thought it would be: jk 😄

          Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

          And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

          Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol’ British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you’re feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that’s your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

            Chuck some cheese sauce on that cauliflower, add some stuffing and we’re getting there…

            Suddenly this hummus I’m eating for lunch doesn’t quite cut the mustard. Actually on that note, include some mustard in the cauliflower cheese pls.
