Genuine question, is this hard to understand as an American? I'm a non native English speaker who's met British people before and there's, like, 2 references in there I didn't catch, but otherwise, you can figure, no?

I had trouble with the references to JD, 'Spoons, and Nandos because I'm not familiar with UK retail and restaurant chains.

I mean, the context tells you that the latter two are places where you can get food, that's about all that's relevant

Curry isn't ubiquitous stateside. It would not be difficult to find an American who doesn't understand "curry" is food.

Without that reference, those latter two places could be pretty much anything.

i refuse to believe this.
