In Italy it's common to joke about British food too.

Yes, because the stereotype was started by Americans.

Another common stereotype is bad teeth, despite British teeth being healthier than that of the US (or Italy) by a fair margin.

Because of the US's ability to publish media globally, they dictate a lot of stereotypes in media.
