Stops carving the Sunday roast

Fun fact: Britain didn't invent roasting hunks of meat. Or Sundays. Or the combination thereof.

apple crumble

That's not a real thing. That's just something English people say to sound whimsical.

By this logic the Japanese don't have curries and the Americans don't have pizza, or any other food for that matter.

Correct. Only Neolithic cultures have their own foods.

Apple crumble is 100% a real thing and it’s delicious with warm custard.

Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

Fun fact: Roasting meat alone does not a Sunday roast make.

Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol' British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you're feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that's your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.
