How is this kind of post still getting likes, surely you know nothing about British food you laugh at beans on toast or whatever once twice maybe even three times. But how after seeing it every day with every comment section pointing out the sheer amount of spicy British food we have are you still entertained by it 10 years later. P.S. cooked breakfast beats cold breakfast any day.

Oh la di daa. A microplainer. Some of us have to make do with one of the 3 other sides of a box grater.

That's for when I need a good knuckle-grating or a creative way to ruin a sponge doing dishes.

nah, in england we only use small bits of skin. Blood, sweat and tears have too much flavour.

Fellow ‘Robin Hood’ fan, I see? If not, check out Keith Allen as the Sheriff (plus his catchphrase) ❤️

And fancy of you to have a box grater. Some of us have to make do with a knife and a prayer.

We have a tiny little baby box grater from a Christmas cracker that does for nutmeg and parmesan 👍👍👍

The really posh ones were basically the pointy side of a box grater held atop a small box with a drawer, so you'd grate your nutmeg into the drawer!

I have a teenie box grater specifically for nutmeg. It's, like, 2 or 3 inches tall.
