I know
There is nothing like stretching a joke to see how far you can take it before it breaks, the French are after all, quite British, or the British quite French - we are only separated by 10 leagues (lieue ancienne) of salty water and have in the course of history shared each others lands and peoples; the Bretons, Celts and Normans can be found on both sides of La Manche; what is custard to us and crème anglaise to you is still just eggs, milk and sugar no matter what it is called and it tastes the same wherever it is made. So we wave our flags of red, white and blue along the boulevards and we're not so different.

The French quite British??? A moi, au secours! I don't eat boiled meat with mint, sacrebleu! On the other hand, I'm drinking Green Mint Tea...

Well, in France, it's what we are told about British cooking: boiled meat, mint everywhere, flavoured jelly as dessert, etc... Yet, if I remember well my only trip to London, I may have eaten fish & chips, but no boiled meat. I have been greatly disappointed to see that this was a myth.

But I believed that Obama was part of the Hawaiian Conspiracy!
On the other hand, I've never seen him wearing an Hawaiian shirt...
