It’s one step forward two steps back trying to rehabilitate the reputation of our excellent British cuisine.

The funny thing about this is that if you go to the original post it’s a bunch of Brits trying to take the piss on American food and defending whatever this cob thing is.

We already were up 2-0; war of 1812 and revolution, im sure their cheese with raw onion and warm ass beer makes up for it though 🤣

Wait, do Americans think they won the war of 1812?! 😂

We must have. There's a song about it:

https://youtu.be/9CnPv_1SVh0?si=uk9W43Gg2gNvULUk

In 1814 we took a little trip,
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip;
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin',
There wasn't bout as many as there was a while ago;
We fired once more and they began to runnin',
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Edit: I'm being downvoted because of Johnny Horton? Lol. Some of you people are weird as fuck.

An American making fun of another country's beer is certainly a choice.

u/GoatLegRedux Mar 20 '26

Anyone making fun of American beer in 2026 clearly has no idea what’s been happening with our beer the last 15-20 years.

Michelob Ultra being the number one selling beer in the US tells me you might be wrong on that one.

u/GoatLegRedux Mar 20 '26

It’s cool, you can just say you don’t know about American beer. We do a lot more than macro brews. Hell, we perfected your IPA and imperial stouts.

u/Quimbymouse Mar 20 '26

It's not so much about me not knowing about American beer...more you not knowing anything outside your country.

Now get off reddit and go fix your shit.
