Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven...
But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else's cuisines.
By this logic the Japanese don't have curries and the Americans don't have pizza, or any other food for that matter.
Fun fact: Britain didn't invent roasting hunks of meat. Or Sundays. Or the combination thereof.
That's not a real thing. That's just something English people say to sound whimsical.
Correct. Only Neolithic cultures have their own foods.
Edit since it's apparently not as obvious as I thought it would be: jk 😄
Apple crumble is 100% a real thing and it’s delicious with warm custard.
Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.
And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).
