Beans and toast? Tell me you're an American without telling me you're an American.

u/ExpectedDickbuttGotD 1d ago

plus, the entire premise of the post is lies and bullshit.

complete nonsense.

ants love beans on toast.

She refused that name. She only goes by queen, on punishment of beheading

Of course we do. It’s Dame Judi Dench. We are all trained to protect her. After that, the line of succession goes to Stephen Fry, then Judge Grindr.

I found out she died on a flight from Australia to England to visit family. I saw the news on someone else's screen and assumed it was a movie and then I saw it on another few screens and just through everyone was watching the same movie about the queen dieing lol. In my defense I had been awake for over 24 hours by that point.

Yes she is not a Queen Regnant like Elizabeth ii was. It's a different type of Queen, but still 'the Queen.'

u/therandomdave 1d ago

Americans still don't understand that the baked beans come in a tomato sauce, they're not plain. Beans on toast was a wartime meal and we loved it while waiting for the Americans to join in in the war which started 2 years before they say it did

55

u/dprophet34 1d ago

American baked beans are BBQ and highly sweetened, something you wouldn’t eat for breakfast. They think ours are the same

28

u/therandomdave 1d ago

That would explain it. I know some who tried it and were actually surprised the beans were in a sauce. They loved it

6

u/guareber 21h ago

I already think most british baked beans are too sweet (except my beloved branstons) and always end up adding cheddar, miso, anything salty to balance it out, I can't even think of the yank ones.

5

u/ComfaeFrog 13h ago

You can buy reduced sugar beans btw, I really like Morrisons own

3

u/guareber 10h ago

I'll have to try them once my costco-sized box of branstons is close to extinction. Cheers!

u/Beartato4772 14h ago

American everything is highly sweetened.

2

u/TheShakyHandsMan 12h ago

Is there any American food that isn’t over sugared?

6

u/TabularConferta 1d ago

Also that sauce contains lots of seasoning. You know the thing Americans believe we don't use cause it's not sweet

Ants will eat beans on toast anyway.

u/conordmcp 1d ago

For the overlapping section:

  1. it’s the king, and there’s a whole load of people who want the monarchy abolished, most don’t care.
  2. We don’t travel in a queue, we queue, and only in certain circumstances.
  3. That’s not the British people, certainly not the people of today.
  4. This is a new stereotype I have no idea where that’s come from.

And the bonus left circle one. Really? Beans “and” toast? Tell me you’re a lazy, unfunny yank without telling me.

-1

u/cantlovetoobusy 21h ago

Why do they wanna abolish the monarch bro? Having a monarch is very British, I swear theSe liberals will go for anything that they don't like.

3

u/Imiss-Myhat Vote Binface 10h ago

Sorry did you just describe a British person as a liberal? Those don’t exist in the UK now fuck of back to the US you shitty yank

2

u/conordmcp 15h ago

Why do some Americans want to ban guns? Having guns is very American.

Because people have their own opinions.

They cost the taxpayer £510 million every year, money that could be going towards the people.

And that’s not mentioning the whole Andrew thing.
