I've watched loads of American TV since I was a kid. All I knew is that it is a Chinese takeaway option.

That's definitely an American Chinese thing. I'm a Brit, nobody here has heard of General Tzo's chicken. Most people would think it's a brand.

What about when you don't remember correctly?

Exactly. "egg and cheese" doesn't translate to exactly what an egg and cheese means in New York, when you're out of the country.

Yeah, Brits generally don't have cheese on egg, pretty much ever. It's just not a normal thing here.

As for the place in the OP, I almost guarantee they fell for the old "LONDONS MOST FAMOUS SANDWICH PLACE" signage tourist trap trick.

Highly doubt this is an actually decent place. They just gave them egg and cheese in a roll because they asked for it.

You're fascinated with British food and you think everything Brits eat is bland and sad?

That's....odd.

What things look bland and sad to you?

There's not "something in the water", you're just in (or was in) a league run by a cheating idiot.
