Something is missing in our exchange here.

Why would people purposefully ruin their food to make a joke? I sincerely doubt entire nations of people cook their food, purposefully ruining it, then laugh over the fact.

"Oh that rice was terrible! Let's cook it that way again!"

Yet you've attested this twice now, and in a thread discussing how to remove deadly arsenic from rice.

You seem to want to discredit this study. You've claimed the study was false, was made up in jest.

It's not some weird joke.

Whatever you're trying to say, please don't do it by trying to discredit something designed to save lives. It's uncool.

Of course it's not all British and French people. Just some.

You can see it in the eyes of the presenter in the notorious "BBC rice" video. It is a weird Continental joke.
