    Funny how avocado- a staple in Mexican food- end up being a woke ingredient. I can’t stand guacamole but it’s a damn site more popular than stuff sliced on a peice of toast

    Woke really does just mean “anything that suggests any adjustment whatsoever to my pre-installed beliefs, behaviours or feelings”. I would assume the Daily Mail would also consider uninstalling McAfee Anti-virus from a new Dell desktop to be “woke”.

      What I love about how the term got defined in court by Desantis is that it is something that recognizes systemic wrong doing within our government practices. Thus anyone who believes our schools are to woke, are thus being woke. Anyone who believes our borders have not been addressed properly, are in fact woke. Trump is woke unless he believes all of our governmental practices are and were perfect before he enters office.

    My grandad liked ham sandwiches.

    My dad liked crisp sandwiches.

    I like like all of the above and fancy woke sandwiches. And I’m an older Brit. I have no idea what point I’m trying to make. Get off my lawn! Ooh, innit cold?

    Yawn, they said the same thing about us Millenials with our avocado toast!

    Its amazing how much of the Gen Z criticism is just recycled Millennial complaints.

      The stuff they said about Millennials was the same stuff they said about Gen X, minus the specifics of liking avocados. It’s the age old cycle of old people being mad that young people exist and might have different preferences. Tale as old as time, sadly.

        My guess is it isn’t old people themselves being mad, but the media trying to make them hate young people so they vote conservative. They’re more likely to vote conservative if they have am enemy who’s taking over that they hate.

          Yeah, I can see that being the case. Always gotta have an out group to hate if you’re conservative. It reminds me of the whole “People don’t want to work!” nonsense. I saw a post once that collected pictures of newspaper articles going back to the 1800s that all complained about “the kids these days” being lazy and not wanting to work. Any one of them could have been written today. I guess the tactic of focusing people’s ire has been working for quite a long time.

    Gen Z Brits are turning their backs on British sandwich classics like ham and mustard and cheese and onion in favour of ‘fancy’ fillings like avocado, olives and continental cheese.

          'They have monopolized everything that it is possible to monopolize; they have got the whole earth, the minerals in the earth and the streams that water the earth. The only reason they have not monopolized the daylight and the air is that it is not possible to do it. If it were possible to construct huge gasometers and to draw together and compress within them the whole of the atmosphere, it would have been done long ago, and we should have been compelled to work for them in order to get money to buy air to breathe. And if that seemingly impossible thing were accomplished tomorrow, you would see thousands of people dying for want of air – or of the money to buy it – even as now thousands are dying for want of the other necessities of life. You would see people going about gasping for breath, and telling each other that the likes of them could not expect to have air to breathe unless the had the money to pay for it. Most of you here, for instance, would think and say so. Even as you think at present that it’s right for so few people to own the Earth, the Minerals and the Water, which are all just as necessary as is the air. In exactly the same spirit as you now say: “It’s Their Land,” “It’s Their Water,” “It’s Their Coal,” “It’s Their Iron,” so you would say “It’s Their Air,” “These are their gasometers, and what right have the likes of us to expect them to allow us to breathe for nothing?” And even while he is doing this the air monopolist will be preaching sermons on the Brotherhood of Man; he will be dispensing advice on “Christian Duty” in the Sunday magazines; he will give utterance to numerous more or less moral maxims for the guidance of the young. And meantime, all around, people will be dying for want of some of the air that he will have bottled up in his gasometers. And when you are all dragging out a miserable existence, gasping for breath or dying for want of air, if one of your number suggests smashing a hole in the side of one of the gasometers, you will all fall upon him in the name of law and order, and after doing your best to tear him limb from limb, you’ll drag him, covered with blood, in triumph to the nearest Police Station and deliver him up to “justice” in the hope of being given a few half-pounds of air for your trouble.’

          In several areas of the city, pollution levels were more than 50 times higher than the World Health Organization’s recommended safe limit.

          Fucking hell. Stay as safe as you can given the air is now toxic!

            Well, I only need to worry about myself though, since this is the ideal habitat for Delhi-ites. In fact, they still walk around with smoke-sticks in their mouth because the levels are not high enough for them.

    The British are REALLY into their hilariously crap food, aren’t they? Someone on here was actually defending a sandwich that was two slices of bread, an inch of cheese and an inch of raw onion. It’s like, when the French or Italians get uppity about their cuisine, it feels like they have a point? The British though…

      The chip butty (with chippy chips) is the closest a human can get to eating ambrosia and it’s sad you’ll never experience it.

        1. Your definition of the ultimate food fit for the gods is…a fried potato and butter sandwich? Look, I’m a y’all sayin inch measurin’ moon landin’ American; you don’t have to offer me a fistful of carbs, fat and cholesterol twice. At the same time, you’re also not convincing me it’s the highest height that food can reach, because I’ve ever had smoked brisket.

        2. I think the closest a human can get to eating Ambrosia without actually eating Ambrosia is probably Watergate salad?

          One day someone will read the two line sidebar.

          If I was to seriously pick a food for ambrosia contender, it’d be a curry, probably rogan josh.

          Also, a pudding was not what I expected when I looked up watergate salad, honestly the most American thing I’ve seen today.

      I’ll defend the meal deal forever.

      It’s not good food. No one is pretending that it is. It IS a convenient and cheap meal that someone can pop out and get in a few mins.

      The problem, like with fast food, is that the £3 meal deal is now the £5 meal deal, and with smaller portions that meal deal is creeping towards £7-10. At a given point, you may as well get a proper nice sandwich or meal elsewhere.
