Though I can not possibly catch every nuance, being non-British-- yet, as a Catherine Tate fan, from Savannah, Georgia! 😊... but living in Texas ❤ ---I do indeed feel the pain and horror of this traumatized couple's experience of such ghastly culinary crimes! I recall my own eyes nearly popping out as I witnessed my date and her parents (from 😡 somewhere up North) 😬 who had, in deference to my region's reputation for delicious fried chicken, ..served😊 a lovely meal of (not-nearly-as delicious fried chicken as my mama always made) -- and as I gladly held onto my chicken thigh ready to chow down, I looked up and saw my date and her entire family using FORKS AND KNIVES 🤯🤯. The shock continues decades later! Then there was a college friend (from up North, what a surprise 😮) who tried eating grits with sugar and milk 😫... Oh, the pain, the pain. But the tables were turned on me when I lived in Colombia, and I myself committed the ultimate culinary faux pas -- putting sugar on a breakfast dish, called "masamorra." My breakfast companion nearly fainted. 😢 Food can be hilarious, can't it?! 😂 BTW, I adore the Posh family, especially when they suddenly have to rely on an agency nanny from Newcastle. We Savannahians can absolutely relate, drawl and all.😂 Thanks, Catherine!

I'm American and I'm late in discovering Catherine Tate. In America, she's mostly known for playing Nellie on The Office. Of all her characters/sketches, I think I like this pair the best. I love the accent and I love how insulted they are over anything the slightest bit different. I'd like to think that people like this still exist in England. So proudly traditional. And I feel the same way about rice milk, TBH.
