    Apple pie is from England, even if you don’t want it to be. Its not even about it not being American but it having flavour and being nice to eat.

    They swapped out chicken for turkey and used the exact same recipe and cooking style. Declaring it unconnected changes nothing.

    Green beans is a substitute for the exact same green veg you get with a British roast meal. If I put peas into a stir fry, it doesn’t make the meal not Chinese lol.

    Again, how can you not see those mildy adapted British things as British?

      Because I’m from a country with an actual national identity of its own, not some washed up little island whose national museum has on display a lot of things stolen from elsewhere and not much of its own, because their national culture has extremely little to show for itself.

      I don’t have to pretend we invented (checks notes) cooking food to feel like have any kind of national identity. You do, and it’s hilariously pathetic.

        What a bitter child you are and its hilarious that you think those things bother me or that I don’t agree that the British library should give all those things back.

        To claim Britain has little to no culture and no national identity is just brain dead. No, your ignorance is not a substitute for a cogent argument and to hear it from an American of all people is just tragic. What little culture you have is what you stole from Europe, claiming it to be your own, or stolen from African Americans.

        I engaged on with and corrected the nonsense you were spewing. Theres no need to throw your toys out the pram over it. I wouldn’t need to talk about the food from here, if you weren’t spewing dumb nonsense. Learn the lesson, child. I mean, memes are all good and the above is funny but theres always some immature bigots like you who have to take it too far and make stupid things up.
