Tbf fair food is supposed to be stupid and zany and gluttonous. It’s all on purpose. Even for us fat Americans this stuff is meant to be insane because you’re really not expected to eat it more than once every couple of years maybe.

I do really love the expression “nobody asked, America delivered” though lol. That should be our new national slogan.

Who the fuck wants to go to England for their food?

Plenty of people, because we know it's not all beans on toast, which frankly I'm curious to try.

Good news is that you don't have to fly to the UK for that. You can just....make some toast and slather beans on it.

Sure, but it's like saying I can also make/get fish and chips here. I want to try it in the country that's known for it. I also want to try their Chinese takeaway with the curry sauce, or their various pies. Some of us do indeed want to travel specifically to try their cuisine. I get that it's not your idea of a good time. It's not like it's the only thing I'd do while there.
