Offended by food?

Just to put it into some perspective, imagine you went into a restaurant in America, ordered fish and chips, and this abomination showed up.

I'd probably (& have done in the past about certain phrases) go whoops, UK & USA two nations divided by a common language!! I think it was Churchill who coined that phrase many years ago. I wouldn't be culturally offended because I am in another country and obviously they have different foods. That's the joy of travel, experiencing different cultures, different foods and different languages.
One of my greatest regrets in life? Not being able to learn any other language. I didn't get the opportunity at school, there wasn't the diversity of curriculum subjects that there are today. When I was older I went back to education and trained as a teacher but once I began teaching, having 4 children to bring up (alone) I didn't really have the time unfortunately. I have picked up a smattering of French but having never visited Italy or Spain only the very basics of those languages.

If in this post I have offended anyone I apologise. My intention was just to point out that fish and chips in America is as the photo shows. :-)

Reports in yesterday that children are joining high schools with reading ages of 6 year olds, at least when you went to school the language they taught you was taught very well ;)

How the fuck can you be fended by a plate of food?

Recipee insensitivity?

Are human beings literally losing the plot or are we being spoon fed shit like this by a small few who are desperate to make stories like this a thing?
Human beings in general aren't losing the plot, just a few with hidden agendas. Oliver would have been better employing decent chefs and managers at his restaurants.
 
Fox News over here in the US have been getting mighty offended by M&Ms this last week. The only only thing I find offensive about them is that they’re not very good. Shit Smarties.
