So, I lived in the UK, and this is why I’ve spent so much time fixing this shit. This is what a cheese and onion sandwich should be (since I had my fair share of that crap) https://t.co/4Ap0lFGfPg pic.twitter.com/oPHQGLQKDQ

Did it never occur to y’all to caramelize the onions, toast the bread, and melt the cheese? https://t.co/u9kDoeBDOU

We felt it was really important to give British people the right of reply. It turned slightly NSFW.
British bread is actually bread and doesn’t taste like cake. British cheddar is actually cheddar and not gummy, processed cheese curd. Raw onion is full of flavour. There is nothing wrong with simple food and these cobs are delicious. Americans are apparently afraid of food https://t.co/cCTX3MSQ27

It's impossible to explain to a Yank what Cheddar cheese is like. Their only reference point is liquidised knob cheese in a spray can. We should be mindful of their limitations. https://t.co/bwwjfG3thH

People have to understand that these don’t exist as a food to be enjoyed and savoured. Their function is keep you going through a big Saturday night sesh on the pints https://t.co/3dm6zpkT0V

Americans criticising the good old cheese & onion roll really need to sit this one out. https://t.co/tRIYJSD5Fe

Before any Brits declare war on the US, never forget that they’re not all cheese Philistines.
I want this. I’m not kidding. I want to eat this. Onions — good. Bread — good. Cheese — GREAT. Wash it down with an ale.
Sigh, I gotta get to Europe. https://t.co/qMAom9ujKO
