On the subject of tea.

I continue to be amused at what happens when I explain to British people that my end of American culture has no conception of the 'electric kettle', and that when exposed to one in England it took me a month to figure out what it was.

They always act like I've just casually stated that we have no cultural taboo against eating our own young.

It hasn't caused anyone to crumble to dust yet. Thankfully.
