Breakfast is easy. Pretty hard to screw that up.

So you've not been to England, then?

Ahh, the empire so obsessed with hoarding spices from around the globe but never using any for their own food...

Bacon: Raw
Every other meat: Burned

In heaven, the Italians are the lovers, the Germans are the mechanics, the French cook the food, and the British are the police

A Full English is great, minus the beans. That’s why a Full Irish is the superior breakfast.

Ireland and Scotland have good breakfast...never been to England but they suck at everything so why wouldnt they suck at breakfast?

A well made English breakfast can hit the spot. And curry is their national dish.

I love an English Accent on a woman so not everything. But, besides that? Some of their TV shows are pretty good.

Stealing other people's foods does not give you credit for the dish

Tikka masala is about as bland as you can make an Indian dish. I think we should throw em a bone on that one.

Touche!

There is a great Polandball about this.

I heard it as:

In heaven, the Italians are the lovers, the Germans are the mechanics, the French are the chefs, the Norwegians write the code, and the British are the police.

A modern update. However, I would try to exchange Norwegians for Poles or Serbians. I'm not aware of a huge tech presence in Norway, but there has been a lot of IT nearshoring to cheaper Central European countries.

You misspelled Irish.

English accents sound like Upper Class Twit of the Year or drug addict from Clapham.

But my god, an Irish woman... (Caveat: under 30. Irish women are swapped by fairies on their 30th birthday for old hag changlings.)

That's 100% on brand for the English. I mean, look at their museums!

Try moving there, you’ll be cured of loving the accent

The Liffy in Dublin is all Tech Offices on the one side. You can smell the Axe cologne and flop sweat a mile away!
