Brits actually have the temerity to complain about anyone else’s food?!? Who knew ... ?
The Guardian has an excellent Food section. But when they feature recipes of American food (check out the recent one on red velvet cake) the cantankerous and endlessly complaining Brits will have over 300 anti-American posts. It’s generally very amusing!
I just read the article here - the person who wrote it up mentions his/her cynicism in Brits traveling the south - chalks part of it up to the usual hunt for poverty and racism that marks so much of European travel to the USA.
“I say, old chap, what is this white concoction on my breakfast plate? `Grits’, is it? Where are the baked beans and, you don’t know what `bangers’ are? You colonials are a rum lot, surely, but maybe later you’ll point out some slave cabins that we can shake our heads at. And no, I don’t care to begin my day with that awful banjo music!”
