    They did fuck all with the spices

    The British national dish is curry.

    Bigotry always goes hand-in-hand with ignorance.

      The Brits are like the OG Big Daddies of spreading bigotry across the world, its ok to give it back, they are severely in bigotry debt.

        Spectacularly missing the point of why bigotry is bad in the first place.

        Telling someone they’re in “bigotry debt” over something that someone they’ve never even met did 200 years ago, and therefore fair game for pig-ignorant abuse, is as close to textbook racism as you can get. You have absolutely zero moral high ground here.

      I was about to say this same fact on another comment above, but then I read the wikipedia article again

      apparently it isn’t like an ‘official’ national dish, I guess it comes from Foreign Secretary Robin Cook referring to it as “a true british national dish” in a speech

      Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish, not only because it is the most popular, but because it is a perfect illustration of the way Britain absorbs and adapts external influences. Chicken Tikka is an Indian dish. The Massala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy. (full speech) (wikipedia)
