EDIT: Okay, it was a bit silly of me to drag my heels in, I don’t strictly hate it and there are good things about British cooking (mostly veggies), but I find the meme’s meat obsession super silly. I am having stomach pains and cramped arteries just looking at this stuff.

Highly underrated

I love how it’s superimposed on the diapers lmao, I hope the meme was ironic

    This could be a British meme making fun of being British. Self deprecation is a national sport, probably one of the best features of Brits is their ability to shit all over being British, and similarly wherever you currently live is always the shittest place in the country. It’s just generally considered a virtue to do self deprecating banter, it’s a sign of a strong person who can have a laugh and doesn’t take themselves too seriously.

    I don’t think anyone in Britain considers “mac and cheese” British though and that phrasing isn’t really British either, so I’m going to side with it being made by a yank.

    If a Brit made it Greggs sausage rolls would have been included.

      Tbh I hate British self deprecation, cause it seems to always end up paired with trying to deprecate everywhere else even more. Also seems to prevent them from actually defending British stuff that they wanna defend through any means other than just going for the lowest blows or bigoted shit.

      As overblown as the meme might be, theres a reason people joke about “Well at least we’ve gawt healfcare/don’t get shot in our bloody schools mate innit”
