Never heard it called a "builder's sandwich", but a "bacon butty" is more likely.

We also pretty much invented science (Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawkins etc.) as well as literature (Shakespeare, Dickens, Rowling) not to mention the internet, time (i.e. GMT the base from which all timezones are established), imperialism (a concept the USA seems to be relishing all too much lately), most modern sports including 'baseball' and the flushing toilet so you're welcome I guess.

You can get great tacos/general mexican food if you look hard enough in one of the bigger cities, the main issues is it's SO loving EXPENSIVE to eat out in the UK compared to just about anywhere else outside europe. What I'd pay for a authentic chinese meal in Aus won't even buy a starter in a lovely back-alley takeaway here. Noone else can do chips like the brits though. We're potato-pros. What you can't find is decent japanese food here outside of super-pricey restaurants.

Fries are one thing, chips are another! Chips can be oven-cooked, fries by definition cannot.

Clearly you've never had proper seaside town fish and chips preferably with lots of salt and lots of vinegar. This is why we have the right to call chips whatever we want (that and that we invented the English language the clue is in the name).

Not to mention that their language is English that the first area settled is called New England that half the towns and cities are named after British places and that they are literally, on the whole, direct descendants of very recent British immigrants. Other than that though...

He's actually right and we have a huge number of German immigrants and a huge number of Americans who bother will trace their ancestry to German arrivals. This isn't just through colonization but also things like indentured servitude which saw huge numbers of europeans flocking over here until the crown banned it.

On the whole they are not descended from British immigrants though. That's the point. Mostly Germans. We also like to eat Hamburgers. From Germany. And New York was called New Amsterdam.
