Jokes aside, I actually really enjoyed the food in England and Germany. My opinion is that you can go literally anywhere and find good food. Humanity is united by seeking tasty stuff

"British food sucks" is the biggest lie ever told. If sausages, meats and gravies, fried fish, and sweets are wrong then I don't wanna be right.

Could anyone explain why people include mud in their food instead of eating only the nutritious parts without the mud? Is it only to feel fuller?

Sometimes it is only the mud. It is to feel literally anything. A crumbly sayisfying cookie makes your stomach stop hurting
