“Hordes of Hummus-Lovers Threaten British Way of Life!”

“Hordes of Hummus-Lovers Threaten British Way of Life!”

Apocalyptic scenes are becoming the norm in the damp, mild-mannered heart of Britain – with nary a fish and chip shop or pub in sight. In their stead: an avalanche of yoga studios, cappuccino-serving cafes and, heaven help us, ethnic food stores peddling exotic wares like chickpeas, flatbreads, and something hair-raisingly called “hummus”. Friends, our British way of life is under threat, and I’m positively frothing at the mouth about it.

The Hummusification of Blighty: Fact or Fiction?

Fact, I tell you! Our once proud kingdom – land of royalty, rosbif, and roundabouts – is quickly being transformed into more of a Middle Eastern Bazaar than a bastion of Britishness. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s plain to see, unless you’re too distracted by that spicy falafel and pita bread to notice the falafelization of our Great nation.

Perhaps you’re a skeptic, or misguidedly believing you’ll look cosmopolitan with a tub of beetroot hummus, but let’s chew over these unsettling facts:

  • The number of yoga studios within a 100-mile radius of London has increased by 42% since 2015. It’s sushis and salutations all the way!
  • Cappuccinos (or as they’re known, milky moustache-makers) miraculously outsold the delectable builder’s brew in the annual Race for Britain’s Favorite Beverage . One word for this: Disgrace!
  • Lastly, research conducted by a team of deluded vegans suggests that Brits are now consuming a staggering 12,000 tons of hummus each year – the equivalent of 30 football stadiums. Gobsmacked? I was too. Hold your Earl Grey, Margaret!

The Tangible Terror of Tabbouleh

The rabbit hole goes deeper, my friends. There’s a terrifying new trend called “tabbouleh” creeping into the our otherwise wholesome, cabbage-filled diets. This Levantine terror is a salad composed of bulgur wheat, tomatoes, onions, parsley and mint – a porridgey proposition that perfectly captures the bougie mediocrity an increasingly multicultural UK supposedly covets. It’s not just full of fibre, it’s chock-full of audacity.

The Final Chorus: Call to Complacency or Crusade?

No doubt, you’re a good Briton, sipping tea and standing tall amidst the quinoa invasion and falafel feud. But the time for passive sighs and rolled eyes is over. You’ve had your beef wellington usurped by a vegan kebab. Your shepherd’s pie replaced by something called “shakshuka”. The question is: Are you going to let these houmous-hurling assailants claim our fortified wines and Cornish pasties too?

And let’s not forget the teachers who’ve replaced cricket with hopscotch and those so-called liberals who think cultural appropriation is a one-sided affair. Whatever happened to our good old English values of colonialism, eh? Double standards much?

The Middle-Eastern mealtime mutiny is upon us! So, put on your wellies, buckle up your courage, and brandish your most threatening cutlery. Tonight, we dine on roast beef and a stiff upper lip. Tomorrow, we march into battle, succinctly crying, “Away with your falafel! Bring back the bangers!”

In Defence of Digestives – A Call to (Culinary) Arms

It’s high time British-born folks took to the streets to protest this hummusification of our precious pizza parlours and chippies. Or, at the very least, write to your local newspaper (hopefully this one, because at least we’re still flying the Fish n’ Chips flag).

And God Save the Queen if they dare to touch our tea-time hobnobs or suggestive eccles cakes. It’s a curry too far, I declare!

So, rally round, fellow patriots. Raise your buttered scone high, smear your clotted cream and strawberry jam without restraint. Away with the baba ganoush, I say! Our beloved fish-fingers beckon! Let’s reclaim our culinary heritage, one crumbly digestive at a time.

And remember, when the going gets tough, the tough reach for a packet of Hobnobs, not a hummus-drenched carrot stick.

Reform is a lifelong flag-waver who once tried to replace his garden gnomes with Union Jacks, hosts monthly “Keep Britain Sorted” tea-and-biscuits rallies, and insists the only acceptable accents are properly posh. If he’s not drafting petitions to ban curry or mapping out where “real Brits” should live, he’s busy lecturing anyone who dares question why marmalade on toast isn’t a national security issue.
