chip butty? yeah sure that’s basically my day-to-day diet anyways.
Doctor Who? yeah thanks to my dad I’ve seen and committed to memory more of that series than I have any American sport - including shit like the War Doctor.
miserable weather? actually my favorite kind.
tea? I’m breaking from the pack here and asking for iced black tea but sure.
Channel 4 shows? This post was literally prompted by me finishing my weeks long Taskmaster binge after being recommended an episode on Youtube; please help me!!!

me "this is just gonna be a chip sandwich isnt it
it is!!! what a ridiculous island
actually i would eat that also"
i love them and their slop sandwiches. once read some british fantasy book (it may have been Discworld and if so I’m so sorry Terry Pratchett but honestly I think it was Neil Gaiman) where the protagonist talked about eating a bacon butty made with the crispiest/burnt parts of the bacon & it resonated with me more than the national anthem ever has.
edit: it absolutely was Sam Vimes in Thud lol.
Vimes carefully lifted the top of the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich and smiled inwardly. Good old Cheery. She knew what a Vimes BLT was all about. It was about having to lift up quite a lot of crispy bacon before you found the miserable skulking vegetables. You might never notice them at all.
for me the most resonating food thing coming from the corpus of english creation is that part in lotr (at least the movies) when bilbo talks about how he feels like ‘butter scraped over too much bread’ like wowwee that speaks to me + my experience at such a deep level and it is ingrained into my vocabulary now
YES. That and Redwall’s food. Things like
Hot cornbread with hazelnuts and apple baked into it, and a salad of celery, lettuce, shredded carrot, and white button mushrooms, with beakers of hot mint and dandelion tea to wash it down.
tolkiens appreciation for food is second only to his appreciation of the natural world
e: i didnt know what redwall was and only thought to look it up now!!!
Martin the Warrior is based as fuck. Pretty sure the direct sequel (moss something?) is too. The rest are mostly great for their descriptions of food.
I remember this meal.
Look at this owl pretending they don’t eat beans for breakfast
Channel 4 is the based channel and I don’t think that should count towards your bad Britishness quota. If you watch BBC, ITV or 5 then yeah, it counts towards your bad quota.
Iced black tea will push up your US quota.
Chip butty, miserable weather and corny British Sci-Fi for sure pushes it way up, but I would say in a good way. I will die in the hill fighting the notion that British food is bad. And before you come at me, I’m the most worldly food eater you will ever meet. I appreciate everyone’s cuisine, except the US fake food because fuck that.
Bad ways to push it up are loving the royal family, watching premier League football, and thinking Churchill and the British empire were good things.
Love a chip butty and beans on toast, rainy weather is my favourite too ^^
