To sell. Not to actually use.too spicy.
I keep seeing this meme everywhere, and it’s laughably incorrect. In my experience, Brits like spice more than anywhere else in Europe, Indian/British-Indian cuisine is huge there.
Shit, eat some horseradish sauce or real English mustard (French and American mustards are sweet, English mustard… isn’t) and tell me Brits don’t like spice.
I’m an Indian guy who’s lived in multiple places in Europe and of all of them I’ve lived in or visited, the UK definitely likes spice the most.
Americans think they’re in the “likes spicy food” category because Mexico lets them stand next to each other. My brothers, High Fructose Corn Syrup is not a spice
The all-american spice blend: high fructose corn syrup, regular corn syrup, light corn syrup, honey, stevia and aspartame. Completely sugar free! Buy 2 and get a free gun!
It’s because of beans on toast. The beans you buy in the USA are shit.
My latest beans on toast twist. Beans in a saucepan, add tandoori spice mix to hotness required. Serve on a garlic naan
I’m starving at work right now and I thought that browsing Lemmy would be a safe way to pass the time until lunch. Then you come at me with this delicious-sounding disaster and I’m completely wrecked.
I think the stereotype comes less from what Brits actually eat and more from traditional bland British dishes (notably ones that were probably popularized during rationing in WWII), such as beans on toast or the infamous toast sandwich.
So you’re eating Indian in Britain and somehow that means that British food is good? OG British food is disgusting and bland. Pretty much everywhere in Europe the food is tastier. And if you’re counting Indian, I’m pretty sure you can get that everywhere in Europe as well.
You are so wrong it’s hilarious.
British food is excellent, easily one of the best in Europe.
British Indian and Indian is not the same. Just like how Tex Mex isn’t the same as mexican food.
And Indian food elsewhere in Europe has been utterly dreadful every time I’ve had it. I swear Brits are the only people in the continent that seem to like spice.

Now I know you’re trolling.
I bet milk is too spicy for you
Who likes spice more than the Brits? Hot curries are consumed in the UK and basically nowhere else in Europe. English mustard is hot, other mustards are sweet, horseradish is hot. Shit, it was the UK that introduced spicy foods, particularly curries, to a lot of eastern Asia.
Brits are the only people on the continent that seriously love spice.
You have zero clue what you’re talking about, you’re just repeating an American WW2 stereotype.
Where are you from? I can virtually guarantee you don’t like spicy food as much.
The Spices extend life. The Spices expand consciousness. The Spices are vital to sea travel.
Also, were taking a bunch of cultural artifacts for our museums. Thanks!
For the Fremen, spice is the sacred hallucinogen which preserves life and brings enormous health benefits. For the Imperium, spice is used by the navigators of the Spacing Guild to find safe paths between the stars. Without spice, interstellar travel is impossible, making it by far the most valuable substance in the universe.
The spice must flow
