:lmayo: get so mad if you make fun of their :lmayo: food.
Yes, that includes here.
Yes, especially if it's making fun of jellied eels, black pudding, and beans on toast :ukkk: :farquaad-point:
"BUT THERE ARE COLONIAL ASSETS THAT LIVE IN THE OLD IMPERIAL CORE AND SOMETIMES THEY MAKE LESS BLAND AND LESS GROSS FOOD, YOU SIMPLETON!" :frothingfash:
When I first saw jellied eels in a video I thought it was kinda gross but never felt compelled to express my opinion about it, but after hearing the British complain about Chinese and American food so much I feel a moral obligation to make fun of jellied eels. It's not the eels, it's the hypocrisy.
I get mad about jellied eels specifically cause it was protein slop for the workers stuck in the deepest shithole of the UK at the time, and anyone who still likes it probably either is personally nostalgic or has some weird pride about perserverance or shit.
Its like kicking someone whos down, beans on toast is extremely valid to make fun of though cause brits will actually admit to having pride in the english breakfast.
Black pudding is good though, sorry.
But eels weren't just slop for the workers, your monarchs loved that shit so much they fined Gloucester the equivalent of 40,000 dollars because they didn't send him enough eels.
Eels were imported from all over the world to feed London.
