    Was gonna say, didn’t the Brits basically invent some curry dishes? Still, there ain’t any British restaurants, tells me what I need to know.

      That the name of their unofficial national dish is in Persian/Hindi also suggets something, but I’m sure I don’t know what…

        Colonization. But that was the insinuation of the post, that they colonized the world and have nothing to show for it. But in reality there is a lot of cultural exchange that happened.

      Well, there’s no “British cuisine” per se, but there are British restaurants. For example a pretty famous and influential one. Also, most pubs serve food and those are now pretty much everywhere in the world, that’s quite British, isn’t it? Dunno the history, but I always associated it with the Brits, maybe I’m wrong.
