An American trolled British food so a whole bunch of Brits trolled back and it’s epic
It started when BBC Yorkshire had a question for their followers on Twitter.
Yorkshire, we have an important question.
Christmas cake, with or without cheese? pic.twitter.com/cF2RcNFH0N

To which the answer is surely ‘without’ but anyway, that’s not why we’re here. This is.
why do british people still eat like they’re in the 1800s and don’t have electricity https://t.co/ZA6usKcZGY

And if Deme (who’s from Brooklyn, New York) was hoping to get a response, he certainly got one, with a whole series of very entertaining exchanges which went something like this.
1.
Have you seen American food show man Vs food and the obesity levels? Not really in a position to criticise anyone’s food.

I’d rather be a Brit living like it’s the 1800s than an American living in who knows what era what you guys are in now.

Lolz at Americans criticising British food. I mean I *like* American food. But throwing a bowl of sugar, onion powder, oreganum, and chili onto everything isn’t exactly cutting edge.

But this might be our favourite reply of all.
Why do Americans eat like they have free health care?
