If you went into an English tea room for afternoon tea and they served you that monstrosity and claimed it was a cucumber sandwich, you’d be perfectly within your rights to burn the entire place to the ground and not a single judge in the country would convict you.
If the thread had been titled “how do I make a bahn mi” then I’d have upvoted you to the moon. But it wasn’t. It was asking how to make that most English (not British, but English) of foods, a cucumber sandwich. And in case that wasn’t a clue enough, the community is Ask UK. Not Ask Vietnam or Ask America.
Cucumbers aren’t native to England. They’re not even native to Europe.
The English, get this, incorporated the exciting new vegetable into their diet after being introduced by Indians, and ignored whiny people telling the world “cucumbers aren’t English” until they died out and we’re forgotten by history. Imagine the 17th century version of yourself saying they’ll burn down any teahouse that sells the exotic Indian “cucumber” because it’s not English?
You can’t expand your culture if you never try to expand it and “burn down” any change.
Imagine the bellend in 1650 that went “oh tea? I don’t touch that Chinese stuff, never tried it and never will, and I’ll burn down any establishment that sells it”
Tbf, the Brit probably wants something as a simple as a cucumber sandwich (calling it a monstrosity is prbly evil), though I believe he could’ve just used kimchi pickle cucumbers or just a plain pickle
What you made is just a good working class sandwich good for an entree, not for an appetizer for tea, before the main course
Wishing to burn down the buildings of people that have too much flavor in their food is definitely on brand for a gammon. Been burning any buildings down lately under pretense of scary foreign invaders? Last week, maybe?

If I made some idiot a bahn mi and they cried about it then they can kindly fuck themselves and not eat it
Most British response ever to a description of a bahn mi. Oh no, ethnic cuisine!!!

Would it suffice, @buried_treasure@feddit.uk to use pickles?
