An American trolled Brits’ love for mushy peas and the entire nation hit back as one – 17 delicious comebacks
It’s only a week or two since we wrote about the last American to pop their head above the parapet to troll British cuisine (the absolute cheek of it!). Remember this?

And we mention it again because more shots have been fired in the transatlantic food wars, and this time it’s an American trolling … mushy peas.

And they weren’t stopping there.
i still cant for the life of me figure out why people decided the best adjective to describe a food meant for human consumption as “mushy”

Like it doesn’t even sound appetizing

I mean, I really like some veggies with just salt. Diced cucumber with coarse salt is . But when the food is *mush* I feel like I need something extra

Brits think salt is seasoning.

Oh yeah? OH YEAH?
And these particular Brits hit back in delicious style.

Americans when you tell them the peas taste like peas instead of Big Buttfucker’s Ring Sting Firecracker Sauce https://t.co/YzeM303T4U

Sorry we like our food to taste like what it is instead of needing 20 powders to make everything taste the same.

European here. I don’t get why yall have such strong spice. It’s supposed to enhance/compliment the flavor and not replace it. I want to taste the original food not the stuff I put on it

the flavour of the peas is peas. if you don’t like peas you can just have something else. like eels and mash https://t.co/slFVmuEjNG

If the produce is good, you don’t need to coat it in loads of seasoning to overwhelm the flavour. You can cook a whole ass cut of steak with just some salt and pepper but as long as the steak itself is high quality you’re going to enjoy eating it
