      Counterpoint: Americans would have a higher average numbers of fingers.

        Southern cuisine would be salt beef, white bread and Yorkshire tea.

          Spices were too expensive for most of the population. Except for the likes of the powdered, wigged gents above.

          My ancestors only had beans on toast to look forward to when they got back from working in the mines.

            I've not researched this, but I've heard it's because mouth health is prioritised over aesthetics.

            That basically means: no whitening.

            Teeth are naturally yellowish

              I’ve heard that myth before, never see any evidence in favor of it, not that I can be arsed to look.

              Not a myth and don’t speak as an authority on something you’ve never researched.

                  You had beans on toast?! We had to wake up an hour before we went to bed and all we had to eat was cold poison! Times were tough in Yorkshire

                    Nah, that would be the northeast AKA New England. Southern Cuisine would probably be French and Mexican/Spanish food, the Louisiana purchase and a few American wars never happening.

                    Then again who the fuck knows what the colonial powers would have gotten up to without the US zealots taking over? 🤷

                          also, dentistry is more accessible in the UK; free treatment is available to a bigger chunk of the population, and private dental care is cheaper as well.

                          So, in terms of severe complications stemming from lack of dental care, the US is worse, but the obsession with straightening & whitening means that people who have got it together enough to appear in the media generally have superficially nicer teeth.

                          It's like most things in America - if you're doing ok then it's great, and if you're not then the rest of the country just pretends you don't exist.

                                    It's also because Americans will spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures for their preteens. Braces are not as common elsewhere. Europeans think a lot of Americans look like they have dentures because of this and veneers.

                                      There's a lot of people who can't afford dental care tbh. If you're unemployed/disabled/whatever you qualify for free care, and if you're in a good job you can afford it. If youre on minimum wage trying to make ends meet you dont qualify and cant afford it.

                                          You had a bed? Such luxuries, we had to sleep in the turnip fields while they were being ploughed.
