Wait until the Americans find out that we get our chips wrapped in old newspaper up here in the north

While we're on the subject of chips and foods the Americans seem to lack generally, I always find it weird when their 'pickles' seems to only refer to Gherkins.

How, in the 2 and a half centuries since buggering off, did they lose the other two chip shop staples that stand so proudly besides pickled gherkins; pickled eggs and pickled onions?

Or my personal favourite, home cookery King of pickles, pickled beetroot?

And one of the best simple meals you can make with just a couple of slices of bread an a good mature cheddar, actual Pickle

It's like sure, they gained independence, but they also seem to have lost so much.

Many countries celebrate Independance Day from the British, so just another one to tick off the list?

By laughing at the absolute state of your country is where me and my mates start

In the same way I don't have guilt for my forefathers actions, I don't really have pride either. It's just difficult for me to feel good about shit a bunch of dead guys did way before my grandparents were even born, just because we occupy the same land mass.
More modern wars, WW2 etc? Sure, I had relatives that fought in that war that I knew. Britain and the US were just so different in those colonial days its difficult to really connect with those cultures without forcing it, for me at least.
Its mostly just good fun I understand.
