Visiting friends in England.
This was lunch today after a fried English breakfast a few hours earlier.
We're going out for a curry and drinks tonight.
And they call Americans fat?

The difference is, they stop eating between their meals.

Britain's obesity rate is actually nearing that of America's, kek. Same way with Mexico. Americans are starting to become more and more health conscious

If you had a friend visiting from England, would you make them skip breakfast and make them a quinoa salad for lunch and a kale egg-white omelette for dinner? Or would you make them a big pancake breakfast and take them out to have some of the best local food and drinks because they're on vacation and probably want to try local food and have a fun time with friends over drinks and dinner? Your friends are being decent hosts and trying to feed you, stop being a whiny little bitch.

That's usually the main meal of a Sunday - so yeah, the fact that they're going for a curry after is pretty fat

Did you create this thread just to tell us that you have fat mates or were you trying to superimpose their fatness onto a whole national identity?

Just genuinely shocked by how much they eat. It's all delicious though.

Glad you're enjoying yourself, it's a bank holiday weekend so most people eat better than they would mid-week. This.. might all go downhill if your friends are planning on having a bank holiday BBQ tomorrow though, we're fucking terrible at those.

You don't have to be fat to enjoy british cuisine, just an IQ above 80 and some common sense.

Why do Britain, Mexico, USA, middle eastern nations like Saudi Arabia and UAE always argue about who is the fattest?

Most Americans think of rationing and war time poverty when they think of Brits.
At least you're getting true idea of the culture and not some stereotypical view.

despite the gratuitous second potato on top it doesn't look that bad for a sunday lunch.

I always find that weird. Haha, fatty Amerifats, your fat country is slightly fatter than our country which is also tremendously fat to a very slightly lesser degree. A lot of countries are experiencing obesity epidemics, your country isn't suddenly slim and sexy because their obesity rate is a mere 35% and that's 1.5% less than some other country.

It's a one of thing. Nobody has English breakfast on a typical mourning and a roast for lunch. Your friends are just showing you typical English cuisine. Stop being an ungrateful cunt.

Unless you're bulking on some kind of strength program or similar athletic regime, you really do not need that much food. A full English breakfast alone is probably well over 2000kcals. The average person is a DYEL faggot; they don't need all this food.
