[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they were very rude (surely they could have just said “no thanks I’m full” or something?!) but I have also experienced that sometimes people from other countries have heard things about food here and are genuinely scared of it, maybe rightly or wrongly. I had friends visit from Germany and they asked me a million questions about milk (they have toddlers who would be drinking it) and were really scared about hormones and antibiotics and the various different labels. I’m also from the UK and as I’m sure OP knows, box mixes are really uncommon there so I guess they were just thrown by it. I know it sounds odd,

Had you never been down the correct aisle in Sainsbury?

Come on. Packet foods? Spag bol packet mix? Custard powder and M&S curry kits? Brits feigning surprise and these guests are taking the piss. [/quote]THIS. Lecturing Americans on food quality as a brit is hilarious.

Have you noticed that there are no restaurants (besides the pasty place in Vienna) that serve "British food?" It's because British food is bad. They had to invade half the world to get some good food on their plates. [/quote]

I genuinely like beans at breakfast though. Presumably they are made fresh each morning. [/quote]
