Many other countries have also not experienced such mass migrations as the UK (colonialism much?) and thus their cuisine has not changed that drastically from like 100 years ago

Dude that is what I was saying! We are agreeing!

I have had this discussion with my polish colleagues frequently given the difference in immigration levels between UK and Poland.

We always note the irony of Polish people being one of the largest migrant groups in the UK now, but the food and traditions being poorly integrated. (That said you can get some wonderful sausage and cured meats at supermarkets now that we can thank them for).

Sure, draw the lines where it suits your argument I guess. If it helps you dictate to people what their traditions are then it’s all coming up Milhouse for you, eh?

You can draw an arbitrary line in the sand anywhere and say anything after it is not from that place. Are all the French influenced dishes in Britain not British? What about Saxon or Norse? Again, this doesn’t seem helpful framing.

The traditional foods of a country, to me, include what is eaten broadly over recent generations.

As for Tikka Masala, is tea drinking not British too?

You’re agreeing with me. You said that not having any natural spices lead to a culture not eating any spicy food. I said that having a lot immigration from countries with spicy food changes that, as proven in much of the western world.

You’re right, food in countries that had no spices at that time wasn’t spicy. I’m not sure that says anything very interesting though.

Traditional to when? We’ve had spices here for centuries And they were barely used in British food.

It was waves of Indian, Asian, and Afro-carribean migration that lead to changes in cuisine here.

It’s for kids and old people mostly. We have the standard el Paso once a month or so and it’s fine.

El Paso is salty processed crap that makes for an easy tea when you can’t be arsed. If you want real spice, there will be 5 curry houses within a mile of you selling Vindaloo and Ceylon.

The UK doesn’t have much naturally growing spicy things either, and spicy food is still pervasive here.

It’s what having virtually no immigration from the east or the med does to cuisine in a country.

No wonder she’s worried about the u-boats

He was also in 2020 primaries. Same deal IIRC

Cosplaying Freud wasn’t enough, he had to cosplay the patient too.

Starmer literally gifted him this for a trade deal. Trump is cheap as shit.

That’s not a narrative though. A narrative is when he is clearly on team A or team B for a handful of cherry picked reasons that reduce his psychology to a caricature.

Coming in here with this sensible straight talking shit… Why I oughta …

In my language we also have a saying: “nyeeerrrrrrr”

Totally forgot I made a turn-based rpg game based on battle royale using Pico 8 a while ago. Might have to dig that out
