The problem with non-Americans making fun of American culture is that if they’re young and a little naive and mostly getting it from tv and movies then all their understanding of America is being filtered through a white rich person lens and then they end up actually making fun of poor American culture and usually poor black American culture, without realizing it, and they sound like bigger assholes then they mean to.

This post brought to you by the poor schmuck who saw a poll making fun of English food and decided to playfully retaliate only to end up exclusively picking food eaten primarily by poor people, black people, or both. Yikes kid.

#also all the food on that list is either fine or just straight up not something people eat #outside of super specific occasions #I’ve literally never heard of Watergate salad #but I assume it’s either weird jello salad or desert salad #and those are things you make for a big party or group get together #not something you put on your dinner table #also unseasoned meatloaf is flat out not a thing #like I personally think English boiled puddings are gross looking #and maybe they’re actually fine?#but I will say historically variations of them were eaten by every level of society #when Americans make fun of them we are not exclusively mocking poor people #also you will never convince me that a dish that’s primarily flour suet and raisins that’s boiled for two or more hours #is delicious like no it isn’t #(wait except American chocolate American chocolate is inferior)
