I wish I had thought to use that with the woman. Something like "Dealing with you was not as terrible as eating haggis" when she would complain I never told her anything positive about therapy.
I went to the UK several times with my person (she was post-modern brit) and she absolutely adored the full english breakfasts they served at the small hotels we stayed at (she had a couple of favorites that were near the british museum). So, since I was there, I thought why not try kippers (I liked) and black pudding (I decidedly did not).
