An American trolled this epic British takeout meal and these Brits bit back in spectacular style
Time now to return to the cultural divide – nay, chasm – between the UK and our friends across the Atlantic. And this time it’s … food.
Specifically, this especially epic takeout order which they shared on Twitter and suggested was everything that was wrong about eating out in the Big Smoke.

It appeared to chime with plenty of Americans who shared their own tales of culinary disappointment on these shores.

On the flip side – and this is why we are really here, obviously – there was no end of Brits who bit back in spectacular style, quite a few of them pointing out that it’s not actually London (and that’s just for starters).

Americans will turn their nose up at this then go to the drive thru and order an ammonium thioglycolate taco with a uranium reduction to dip https://t.co/7EavdXBsMX

1) this isn’t in London 2) no self respecting Londoner would eat this unless they are 12 or hammered 3) London has literally every cuisine in the whole world 4) we have vegetables 5) shut up https://t.co/D2g4MSTWqC

How can you use a video from a shop in Scotland and say it’s London.

If you didn’t have “good food” while you were in London you either went to the wrong places or didn’t look hard enough.♂️ https://t.co/GVpr6BvGWM
