Excuse me? I couldn’t hear you over your self-righteous contempt.

Overheard on the Aerial Tram in Palm Springs.

British guy (very British, voice dripping with disdainful smugness and a cultured pretension several centuries in the making), to the British guy next to him: They don’t really DO food in this country, do they? I mean, it’s just the same burger place one after another.

Really British? Really? Americans don’t do food? This from the nation which has provided the world with such wondrous culinary inventions as “Brown Stuff with Gray Sauce” and potatoes with sausage. Or sausage. And let’s call it a “Banger” just to make it snappy!!!! AND SPOTTED DICK!!!! Really?!?!? Maybe if there wasn’t anything except a hamburger patty drenched in off-white gravy goo…

    In response, from a fellow anglophile:

    Hey! British food is deadly dull.
    Bangers and Mash are forever. They take like 30 days to digest.
    Everything.

    Paddy, don’t make me create an “Exiled back across the pond” category for you, you redcoat.

    I dunno, they sure know how to fry crap!

    I mean, have you ever been to H. Salt and not felt ill from the amount of grease you’ve consumed but at the same time felt oh so satisfied!
