chip butty? yeah sure that's basically my day-to-day diet anyways.

Doctor Who? yeah thanks to my dad I've seen and committed to memory more of that series than I have any American sport - including shit like the War Doctor.

miserable weather? actually my favorite kind.

tea? I'm breaking from the pack here and asking for iced black tea but sure.

Channel 4 shows? This post was literally prompted by me finishing my weeks long Taskmaster binge after being recommended an episode on Youtube; please help me!!!!!! bateman-desperate

    for me the most resonating food thing coming from the corpus of english creation is that part in lotr (at least the movies) when bilbo talks about how he feels like 'butter scraped over too much bread' like wowwee that speaks to me + my experience at such a deep level and it is ingrained into my vocabulary now

      YES. That and Redwall's food. Things like

      Hot cornbread with hazelnuts and apple baked into it, and a salad of celery, lettuce, shredded carrot, and white button mushrooms, with beakers of hot mint and dandelion tea to wash it down.

          Martin the Warrior is based as fuck. Pretty sure the direct sequel (moss something?) is too. The rest are mostly great for their descriptions of food.
