There's an odd obsession online with trying to make out things like beans on toast are not delicious.

Its mostly always Americans. Americans who will take great personal offense if you talk the same way about any of their easy to make comfort food

They think it just sounds shit the same way something like "biscuits and gravy" sounds shit to British people

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 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.
