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."

    I would recommend cooked.wiki if you want to remove the not recipe parts of recipe pages. Just stick the url in the box on the page and it'll pull out the actual Info on the page. I've had pretty decent luck with it.

    Use the advanced search option and add Harry Potter to the Do No Include field.

      Thanks. I still need to complain about the fanboys. I know treacle tart wasn't well known outside the UK, so I understand that HP was probably many Americans first exposure to it, but I still get annoyed that people think a very popular dessert that many people eat is synonymous with HP. Imagine if every pizza recipe started with a paragraph simping for Home Alone. It's almost as ridiculous as that.
