[@themoderntemplar1567]

As a Scot I do love the skirl of the bagpipes but then playing over some of our drunker more colourful inmates was funny, but watching you absolutely lose your shit was hilarious. The delayed second attack of the giggles was priceless.😂👍

Remember. Apple pie, pumpkin pie, mac n cheese, the traditional roast dinner (thanksgiving/Christmas), shepherds pie, doughnuts, sausage and mash, *arguably* lasagne, trifle, Victoria sponge cake, Eton mess are all... british food. When people shit on british food they usually being up either non british food served in Britain, or extremely old barely eaten british food dating back to rationing. America loves british food. "As american as Apple pie". But american food is barely eaten. Burgers and hotdogs are German. Fries are French/Belgian. Fried chicken is African/Scottish. Barbecue is carribean/African. Tex mex... is Mexican. (Being created in the border means nothing. In the same way british Indian food... isn't british food... But atleast India is miles away, not next door) Most the stereotypes are lies. But it is true that truly american food doesn't really leave the border. But lots of british food does.

[@neuralwarp]

Eels are rare and expensive nowadays.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

@@neuralwarp It seems to me that eels ought to (in this day and age, where a greater variety of foodstuffs are more easily available to most people) be free to 'live their lives unfettered' by river eel traps, where they'll be caught and killed to sate a human's appetite, when said human can now find an alternative food source...?! I'm not a vegetarian, nor indeed a vegan, but I'd rather not eat eels (and/_or_ kidneys etc!) And we've no need to now, when more attractive, tastier alternatives are more readily at hand... Instead of plundering our rivers / seas etc, we can turn to alternatives such as Quorn etc but that might just make me sound "picky" ?! ...and I suppose I am, as I _still_ cannot _bear_ the thought of eating *eels* ('jellied' or otherwise) !! 🤔🥺😟❤️🇬🇧🖖

Jellied eel is eaten in like 5 miles of London only. I've never seen it served outside the capital. We do have some nice food, I promise!

[@michaeljeacock]

the bagpipe music is not really a funeral song although it may have been used at a few Scottish funerals. it is Scotland the Brave, pretty mush Scotland's unofficial national anthem and also was "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's entrance music.

[@pinkpolly88]

As soon as you go over the border from England to Scotland, there is bagpipe music played over loudspeakers. It plays 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It makes life so much better.

[@ericg5791]

A cuppla fings. I'm British and understood the hillbilly more clearly than a Scotsman. My parents love jellied eels,but i hate 'em, and hooray for pronouncing the river THAMES correctly. Cucumbers on beans & toast, wtf?. Spaghetti-O, or Spaghetti hoops in a weird jelly form, huh? But we DO sometimes eat beans with little baby hot dog sausages in the tins. Don't ask me what was on that kebab.Whilst donor kebabs are Greek/Turkish, they are now a staple food for Brits out getting pissed on a friday night/saturday morning,to probably soak up the alcohol,but leads to decorating the floor with barf. The crazy biscuit sandwich,dry spaghetti strands in the oven etc is just the rare Brit with trash bin appetites

[@VonPunk]

I have a mate that'll eat owt foodwise at least once, even had me drive him around looking for Kangaroo meat one day, but he met his match when he gleefully bought Jellied Eels but quickly declared it the worst thing he'd ever eaten. Pretty sure it only exists for Brits to trick foreign visitors into eating some while lying to them about it being 'our most popular dish' while somehow keeping a straight face. 😂

[@MsPeabody1231]

I've had jellied eels once. In Manchester😂 I was born and brought up in London, and only in Manchester for 8 years.

[@batintheattic7293]

We're similar, on the surface, but it's such a joy to examine how we're different that I hope we never feel like we're the same. The relationship is intriguing because the UK is one of the feeder populations for post the Columbus American population. It's a bit like when your kids go off to university and then, maybe ten or twenty years later, you get to see them in person again. And they think you're quaint. They deride about your biscuit selection. Still love them, though, even if they are under the impression that they were the first ever student at their university.

A trade deal with America had nothing to do with Brexit. Obama said to the British. If they voted for Brexit. The British will go to the back of the trade queue/line. This actually caused many people to vote for Brexit, after hearing this threat from America! Brexit happened because the people wanted less migration. 😉

The reason the rest of the UK hates London because it is seen as the least white British city with 50% of the population being non-white, seen as dangerous despite the fact Liverpool and Glasgow have higher rates of violent crime, and the perception that London gets all the government funding, when the reality is London is the most economic productive part of the UK generating 30% of the total GDP of the UK and the reason London has so much property because it no city in the UK gets less of the money it generates because much of the money London generates is given to other parts of the UK. If London declared independence from the UK, Britain would become a 3rd world country overnight.
