Brits will scoff at microwaved water then straight up eat mushy peas at dinner.

I mean we can pick at things. Americans put marshmallows in their potatoes and eat cereal that are the same shade as crayons. Asians put cheese slices in their instant noodles. Italians eat Prosciutto and Melon, The French eat Escargot and Frog. At least most of these are consider guilty pleasures or 3am grub rather than cuisine.

Is this some kind of beans on toast thing I'm too colonies to understand?

Yeah I will never at all understand this weird superiority complex in the way in which people boil fucking water of all things. The result is the same.

The reason why a kettle is nice is because it boils a large quantity of water quickly. If you only want a single cup, then a microwave is a great option if you don't have or want a kettle.

You’ve missed the way that British people actually boil water though, thus missing the true reason that we’re superior.

[–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

We get it, you boil water with your anus.

[–] li10@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah, so with the Queen's anus, got it.

[–] sizzler@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

King's anus, at least keep the insults relevant and up to date please.

They still have a Queen. It's just not Queen Elizabeth II, it's Camilla.

Difference = Virtually 0, only genetic.

They still hold 0 power either way.
King, Queen, or King/Queen's consort their still just figureheads no different than a celebrity.

Also, she's going to be a Queen Dowager very soon. 😏
