Mate, you should have some UK food that isn't white man comfort food straight from the freezer. We're a multicultural society now.
First of all, whilst everyone knows about the Anglicisation of Indian curry into the Chicken Tikka Masala, fewer know about the Indianisation of the Full English Breakfast and my GOD is it tasty.
Second; Roast Dinner. Enough said.
Third, if you find yourself in a UK city like London, Birmingham, or Manchester and want a simple meal, look for a Fried Chicken shop that has a huge queue that is ethically diverse. Guaranteed to be a thick chicken burger dripping with sensational spice.
Like seriously, we've had people from food tiktok travel all the way from London to try Miami Crispy in Manchester.
That's just three examples.
There's good and well seasoned food in the UK, you just have to know where to find it, and your best bet is looking for cuisine that is the legacy of empire and immigration that's been adopted by the local population. You know, like how all the best food you can find in the US is either from Italian or Mexican heritage.
I'm always saying the biggest argument for diversity is food.
Someone drove 200 miles? Laughs in American
Pretty far to get fried chicken though
Must be a Tuesday.
You have piqued my interest. What can I look forward to with a Full Indian and where can I find them?
You don't get to claim the rights to dishes from cultures you forcibly subjugated.
This is hilarious...oh the coping...so let me get this straight. Youre claiming indian food as British? Mate, please. Leave appropriation to your museums cuz curry ain't "UK faire".
Second. Roast? Lmfao...roast is a method, not a dish.
Moving on, mind you you're 0/2
Fried chicken?
Mate, you're taking the piss.
Lol, the chicken tikka masala is an Indian dish, invented by chefs in Glasgow, there are several anglicised dishes from India that are available here.
Roast dinner is a dinner, involves roast meat and veg, roast potatoes and gravy with Yorkshire puddings.
Moving on you're 0/2 so far though.
Fried chicken is first recorded in Scotland about 30 years before America declared itself a county. I am assuming. You're a yank from your lack of knowledge and ignorance of other cultures but hey if the boot fits.
Americans have one Sunday roast a year and get so excited about it the rest of us have to hear you talk about it for a whole month.
Apple pie, macaroni and cheese, pancakes. Lots of lovely American dishes... That are actually British and predate your entire country.
