    It’s the UK. We just can’t handle the fizz and the lemon at the same time. it’s too spicy for us.

      But the UK likes spice a lot though? More so than anywhere else in Europe, even Spain.

      Spicy curries are massive here and nowhere else in the continent. And let’s not even talk about English mustard compared to other mustards.

        I don’t doubt it, both english mustard and horseradish are hella hot (and good), but for me Hungary takes the lead. They love hot paprika and use it in almost every dish, It’s a shame its cuisine is almost unknown in western Europe.

          Hot paprika isn’t actually spicy though

          And I wouldn’t say it’s unknown, goulash and paprika chicken are pretty popular

        I mean, I’m joking about that part, we’re stereotyped as having bland food. I love all sorts of spicy foods, but we’re also a country that devours Gregg’s and Nando’s. However, we definitely actually are the Europeans who are referring to Sprite and Sprite-adjacent drinks when we say “lemonade”. Unfortunately.
