I’m from the UK (but born to one of the victims of its colonialism, so don’t mock me, I’m destroying the country from within), and I’ve been living abroad the last 11 years.
Believe it or not, there is actually some decent British food. Treacle tart is one thing that I miss, and I’ve tried to make it a few times. Unfortunately some TERF just had to ruin it by making it the favorite dessert of the protagonist in her overrated fantasy series.
Thanks to her, I now have to scroll through reams of sites full of fanboy gushing that don’t even have the decency to list out the ingredients in grams. Without fail, the top 5 results will always be like “Oh muh god, Harry Potter! Go Hermione. Ten points to Griffindor. Oh, I’m such a Hufflepuff. Anyway, here’s the recipe in a system that requires a tool that isn’t available in most of the fucking world, because I, like the only other people left in this fandom, am a narcissist who stayed just to see innocent people being harmed.”
