  That’s the Indian national dish, and Britain got so made about losing the empire they stole it.

    There’s plenty of British-created curries or ones that have been heavily modified in the UK. If you went to India and wanted a tikka masala. I imagine it would be pretty hard to find one, and if you did it wouldn’t be like it was in the UK.

    Personally I do prefer Indian curries because they get more interesting with the veggie ones though.

    According to that logic, Pizza Hawaii is an Italian specialty

      I understand why Europeans don’t like pineapple pizza, for some reason all the restaurants here put it on after baking. Genuinely insane

    Stole it? I think adopted is more apt. And loved it so much that there is an Indian (or Pakistani) restaurant practically everywhere. And while Indian / Pakistani chefs have invented new dishes (e.g. chicken chasni is the best goddamned curry ever), I wouldn’t call it cultural appropriation.

      Yes it is. It’s a chicken tikka masala specifically.

      See, they stole it so thoroughly you don’t even know.

      Bastards.
