    Unless the food is for sick people in that case regular English food is perfectly bland for them.

    As am Englishman, I am offended. The idea that I am not capable of preparing Italian food as well as a native, or that I would ever cook English cuisine in my kitchen, is outright racism.

      Granted curry of any kind is miles ahead of most european foods I have tried but Italian can be quite comforting as well. Pasta has a special place in my heart.

      I had this one Singaporean guy visit me and say basically the same thing, and then he said there was this dish i had to try. And it just tasted like Umami The Dish™ to me.

      Turns out, people typically enjoy the cuisine they grew up with and that’s not wrong. To imply that it is makes you annoying.

      The point of Italian food is not that it is the best in the world. What is nice about it is that there is a lot of variety, it can be quite healthy and most Italian people take pride in it and can cook relatively well.

    My wife can bake (more or less), but cannot cook much else to save her life. She’ll default to crackers, cheese and turkey slices for every meal, maaaaybe the occasional frozen pizza, if I don’t cook. Also I’m a really good cook and I like my food, so… I’mma do the cooking.

    For her, I would bring home a deep fried haggis and a Cornish pasty. Embrace our culture!

    Well, English recipes are not really the best, it’s more fair to say that an US citizen of any gender don’t should be in the kitchen, after seeing them adding ketchup to Spaguetti Carbonara

    I think this is the wrong place to post this. You’re supposed to post this on microblogmemes@lemmy.world
