Gee, I'm surprised:
Staffordshire oatcakes have sustained locals for years. Records reportedly show they have been eaten in the area since when?
didn't make it on to the British Citizenship Test....
(BTW, I actually got
6 out of 7...all WAGS)

3/7
I guess it's a "twinkie and wiener" sandwich time.

I got 1.
Yes, that's right one.
Just bloody one.
It's not fair. I guessed as well. Just not as correctly as Lord Jim.

3/7. The only one I had even a clue about was the Devon cream/jam thing, and all I knew was that it was some kind of issue.

That was just an excuse to give the Yorkshire bastards a good kicking. They didn't have football back then.

5/7 but the subtext is that authentic British food really is shit.
New Orleans, by itself, produces a richer and more varied cuisine than all of the British Isles.

Retard has commented in a thread on British food, I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say he's written something along the lines of "All British food is shit, no point in doing this quiz."
Reminds me of the time over on the CSB, when a Brit restaurant won "restaurant of the year", or some such award, and he tried convincing us that his local restaurant was far better, and served all American cuisine. The twat then linked to it, the link stated “Awarded for America’s best French Haute Cuisine!”
My, how we laughed.

Close.
He took the quiz but mentioned that "authentic British food really is shit".
It's a typical response from someone who will go to any length to prove their ignorance about all things British.

Rube
does have an uncanny capacity in that regard...
When it comes to proving one's own ignorance, he's got mad skills....
No one can lay a glove on him; it's his super power...
