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

      i love them and their slop sandwiches. once read some british fantasy book (it may have been Discworld and if so I'm so sorry Terry Pratchett but honestly I think it was Neil Gaiman) where the protagonist talked about eating a bacon butty made with the crispiest/burnt parts of the bacon & it resonated with me more than the national anthem ever has.

      edit: it absolutely was Sam Vimes in Thud lol.

      Vimes carefully lifted the top of the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich and smiled inwardly. Good old Cheery. She knew what a Vimes BLT was all about. It was about having to lift up quite a lot of crispy bacon before you found the miserable skulking vegetables. You might never notice them at all.

          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.
