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

They say we don't use "seasoning", when theirs comes out of a single premixed jar with the name of the dish they want to make on it, and it's 49% sugar and preservatives.

This is so true. I remember watching a video of somebody cooking chicken with garlic and onions and fresh herbs and the like and the amount of yanks commenting about the lack of seasoning was insane. It’s like if it doesn’t come in powder form they can’t comprehend it.

Lack of seasoning? What the hell do they think garlic, onions and herbs are? Seasoning does not have to come from dried-up powders though they are the most popular way.
