Imagine seeking out British food in fucking Greece.

Karen had a bad trip.

This poor woman sure does seem to be living a miserable existence. Does the UK have voluntary euthanasia?

Yeah... she is definitely a Karen

Or she's just lying about her malady. She prob had a tummy ache, put the symptoms into ChatGPT, and it told her she had it.

She's an idiot but that guidance is not universal :( I have UC and I do fine with bacon

I definitely misread "ulcerative colitis" and, while intrigued, I still thought it odd to bring up in an article about food.

bet she isnt controlling her UC symptoms.

It's the mirror so it's fake

Why would Karen take accountability for her self. It is the universe that should be thinking ahead for her. /s

She could've eaten the food described in the article just fine with UC. She's just a massive Karen.

This isn't about her disease. She specifically mentions wanting/missing fried bacon (and presumably also sausage, since those are also traditionally part of a full english), which are both terrible foods to eat with UC.

If she'd asked for white bread and baked beans, that would make more sense and be suitable for UC, but bacon ain't it. She's just a karen who's using her disease as an excuse to bitch about not getting what she wants.

White rice, fish and cooked vegetables, which are at least some of the food she was complaining about, are conversely actually an excellent meal for someone with UC

Americans are accustomed to having access to worldwide cuisine options 24/7/365. She must've had a psychological breakdown finding herself in the middle of the Mediterranean sea with only Mediterranean food options 🤣 How out of touch must some one be to not only subconsciously feel troubled by something so insignificant, but then to set up her ring light & camera to consciously rant about it out loud & post it on YouTube 🤦🏼‍♀️

It's not that they don't expect there to be Greek food or that they won't want to eat Greek food. It's that Americans used to having a huge variety of food available, and may need to be warned that they will not have that available.

I can get pretty much any style cuisine (my choice betweem authentic or Americanized version) for lunch any day. I could have Bao on Monday, Schnitzel on Tuesday, Tikka Masala on Wednesday, Carne Guisada on Thursday, and Injera on Friday all without having to travel more than 5 minutes.

And it's not just urban areas. Even the tiny backwoods town my parents live in has country cooking, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian restaurants (though the Chinese and Italian are really bad)

its always western people going other countries expecting the countries to have the food that they are used to, very strange thing, you might as well stay in the country you are from.

If you have a medical condition that requires a special diet... you have no option that planning ahead, you cannot expect the world to be ready for any possible medical requirement

Idk, I have UC and the things she mentioned are fine for me. I struggle with scratchy fibrous foods: whole grains, seeds, fruit skins, raw veggies. I don't have an issue with bacon or fat in general.

Just reading those three words in that order, "mozzarella and tomatoes" just made me crave a Caprese salad.

So fucking good. What kind of loser whines about being served that godly combination of foods?

Right? She "can't" eat kebab, but demands bacon and sausage?

I have a disease that desires trash food too, it's called shame, not ulcerative colitis. I think she got those mixed up.

Most Balkan food is just... Mostly not overtly offensive.

Greece is amazing, but if you want a wild ride, try what passes for "Mexican" food there. If you don't laugh, you'll cry. Makes Taco Bell look legit.

It did mention that there may be a case against the company that sold the vacation package if specific promises were made about the meals. Like something specifically marketed towards people with dietary restrictions.

International travel requires at least some flexibility and the lady in the article has none.

A full English breakfast too, is what she demanded. That is no small task.

Talk about being a cunt. The best part of trying new foods while traveling is not knowing what it is and going for it. I get that things like peanuts being able to kill you and all and well not everyone wants to eat a living squid but overall you're there for the experience. Also, I would have told that American woman to just STFU or GTFO. Don't ruin my meal or insult the staff. ugh

And she's a self proclaimed cow!

TBF Helen Dewdney is a consumer rights person. She generally explains and advises on misleading consumer practices. She is not championing the ladies gripe, she is commenting on the complaining ladies rights, which were provided by the travel provider, who kinda lumped everything under the idea of a 'package holiday' providing everything you require. She did actually say that it was probably not reasonable to expect English food as part of that.

There's a big difference between knowing and advocating consumer rights and being a super karen. The internet has made standing up for your rights a aspect of shame or ridicule rather than something you should protect and practice.

her last name was totally made up in her parents head.

We don't do falafel in Greece. We've started adopting it over the last decade (mostly as a vegetarian alternative to meatballs and stuff) but it's definitely not a traditional Greek thing.

Would you like some feta instead?

She should have given me her ticket, I will eat all of that regardless of where I'm at. A nice salad that wouldn't make me bedridden is a dream ('Merica, fuck yea)

8 meals a day?

"Today I'm here in Singapore, eating in McDonalds."

"Today I'm here in China, eating in McDonalds."

"Today I'm here in Japan, eating in McDonalds."

When even The Mirror is forced to tell the British boomers that they are shit outta luck, you know it was a garbage claim to begin with.

It's hard to survive without bitterballen.

When I travel I pack a couple Sheetz sausage shmiscuits to keep me from getting depressed from traveling.

A few of the Greek islands have a resort town that is basically all Brits, one that is all Germans, and so on. I stay away from those, as it’s kind of sad going to Greece and not enjoying the tavernas.

That's because there's pretty much jack shit to explain, unless you're a Karen expecting your daily tasteless crap no matter where you go.

English diet

The toast for her beans and toast was too rare but the waitstaff refused to take it back

Nah she actually was super upset she wasnt getting English staples lol. She wanted toast and bacon and sausage and fries.

They gave her rice and fish and she said after "she never wanted to look at a plate of rice again", and she was complaining that she never got sausage or bacon, and while at first I thought they weren't giving her much meat... She complained about the kebabs and said that was the worst part.
