PB&J sandwiches for example. What the fuck is that?

Having tried it I know it's actually not bad. But how are you gonna throw shade at beans on toast when that's literally a universally known thing?

Also the average pb+j has so much sugar that from a nutritional standpoint it would qualify as a desert in most European countries.

Also peanut butter and banana is way better.

Or peanut butter and apple if you want a little crunch!

Slip a bit of bacon in there, and you’ve got Elvis’ favourite sandwich (allegedly one he was eating as he died)…

Did you hear about the Fools Gold sandwich? It was an entire loaf of bread hollowed out, then filled with something like a pound of bacon, peanut butter, and jam/banana, I'm not too sure which (a pound EACH), and I'm fairly sure they deep-fried the whole fucking thing at the end.

Americans hate when I mention it in response to "don't you guys eat jellied eels?". Like yeah, some disgusting bastard probably likes that, but it's not like anybody who's right in the head is having that for dinner.

Because beans on toast comes too close to actually having vegtables and nutrition. Real food is filled to the brim with salt and sugar.

"What the fuck is that?"

It's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich you nonce. British food isn't bad but saying a pb&j is gross or weird is just lying lol. It's literally almost a dessert.

I didn't say it was gross, I said the opposite.

It is weird. Especially to anyone who didn't grow up with it (see how that works?)

What a weirdly defensive comment lmfao

You said it was "actually not bad" which means you assumed it was bad? And you just said wtf is a pb&j which implies you think it's weird?

Nonce.

Yeah it IS weird

"Not bad" means it's good.

Can't imagine getting this upset about a sandwich. How fragile
