In 2004, healthcare professionals warned against overindulgence in Pontefract cake after a 56-year-old woman was admitted to hospital following an overdose. The woman consumed about 200 grams (7.1 oz) daily, leading to dangerously low potassium levels and subsequent muscle failure.
Have you ever tried this stuff called "root beer" that Americans all seem to be into?
Sugary-sticky medicine flavoured stuff made from a poisonous plant. It's the sort of thing I'd expect from a country with absolutely no food culture like the US.

Where do you take the "rotten" part from? I assume it's made out of regular dried liquorice roots.

Ladies, ladies, stop with the quarreling. Both countries are equally terrible when it comes to gastronomy.
