It’s almost like, in such a huge country, there exist people with different tastes.
I, an American, went to India once. The hotel restaurant had a breakfast buffet. On one side was a glorious Indian spread. The other was some nauseating English breakfast spread, with like baked beans (that’s for summer BBQs not breakfast!).
Anyway me and my buddy head straight to the good side, when the hotel staff woman came running over to warn us that it was too spicy. She gently walked us to the gross English food. We confirmed with her, numerous times, that the Indian food was very spicy. We then dug in on the eatible food (the Indian side) and made a friend with the hotel staff lady.
It was somewhat spicy, but amazing.
Some Americans think black pepper is too spicy, some eat ghost peppers as a light snack, I am in between.
What’s wrong with a greasy tasty full English. I’ve seen made and tried way worse yank food
seems to me your just unironically dogpileing on the uk in which I highly recommend you go to highly sophisticated cities such as Brimingham or Bradford and have a discussion with the locals over this there more than welcoming over there they have welcoming communities and absolutely no knife crime non whatsoever you’ll have a great time these are wonderful places for people the likes of you. you can go over there get mugg… I mean given a welcoming tour by a man named mikey barry 63’s grandson mikey has fashion sense he wears Nikey gear then get stab… nono I mean get a welcoming handshake by Billy the glasawegian meth addict everyone knows that glasawegians love sure do love there meth and if you got big enough muscles then a very kind big mussley black 6’3f
gentlemen might come along and ask you to do exercise routines he might get a little excited you may feel a lump press into your back but this is all apart of the process just trust the process
Just leaving this at the very end Food and taste is about personal preference different people like different food. If you don’t like something then that’s okay I don’t like alot of things but whlist you should be allowed to say these things as stupid as they may seem personally inmy opinion i also believe that its super hypocritical especially considering amercia also has a ton or bad cusline.
Careful, that’s like saying that the guy who made it, who was born in the UK isn’t really British either.
Umm what so you mean by ‘the guy who made it’? Curry has existed in Indian subcontinent, in various varieties, for hundreds of years. It wasn’t first concocted in UK in 1960s.
What I mean is the man who cooked the curry and served it to me and my two companions. He’s of Asian heritage but was born and raised in the UK.
Does that mean that he’s not really British?
What if he sees himself as British. Is he then culturally appropriating Asian food?
Because that’s the argument being used about the food too. That dish was cooked in a kitchen in Birmingham. It has Asian heritage too. But is it not the British food?
I’m making a point about the international nature of food, and the way in which it relates to identity, and you seem determined to take it in bad faith to truss up your own weak argument.
Ok, here, have a win. You’re right. You are so totally right. Well done. Enjoy the glory.
We are talking about importing spices to use them in the country. It doesn’t even matter where the cook is from. Even the most Indian guy can’t prepare an Indian meal without the ingredients
Mate, we’ve been making gravys and thick sauces before the Brits came along. Especially people in coastal regions who use coconut in nearly everything.
I think British people have a very different definition of gravy - more like meat juice thickened with flour and optionally some other stuff like caramel and onions. As I understand, they don’t put vegetables, herbs or spices.
Dunno, have you ever had a curry in Birmingham on the mile?
I went with two American colleagues and one of them couldn’t finish his ‘medium’ heat dish because they said it was too spicy.

I really hope that’s irony
Irony, you say?
Yeah, they’re not actually American
It won’t be.
And then everyone clapped, right?

in my opinioni also believe that its super hypocritical especially considering amercia also has a ton or bad cusline.That may be so, but curry isn’t exactly a real British dish. It’s Indian food.
Careful, that’s like saying that the guy who made it, who was born in the UK isn’t really British either.
Pretty much all food is imported.
As someone else mentioned. The Tikka Masala was invented in Britain.
Italian pizza, the most Italian of dishes, didn’t exist until America was ‘discovered’ and tomatoes brought back from the new world.
Same with the Irish and potatoes.
Umm what so you mean by ‘the guy who made it’? Curry has existed in Indian subcontinent, in various varieties, for hundreds of years. It wasn’t first concocted in UK in 1960s.
I think you misunderstand.

Oh great, pedantry!
When people say that’s not a British dish, they are talking about origin of the dish. Not where it was made today.
There are thousands of restaurants serving pizza in India. I’m still not going to call pizza an Indian dish.
Oh fuck off.

This much seething and malding isn’t good for your health. It might affect your reading comprehension even more.

Chicken tikka masala is a British dish
Possibly. It’s a disputed claim. And with 48 different recipes.
Most curries you can get in the UK were invented there.
As a quick rule of thumb, if it looks like it has gravy or thick sauce someone from India wouldn’t recognise it
What?

Yeah exactly my thinking, Indians would be disgusted by an englishes northerners gravy. They have no idea
Well, they’re missing out.
