        Deep Fried Beer is a pretty good one, too. Not very good, though…

      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.

      source
      • arudesalad@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        My favourite part of British food is the way it has merged with foreign food, like the curry dishes for example.

        That does also mean there aren’t any British restaurants since they are usually labelled with the culture that shows there is actual flavour and not the culture famous for eating wartime food in the 21st century…

        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.

        source
      • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

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

        Most “American” foods were brought by immigrants too.

    The British national dish is curry.

    source
    • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

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

      source
      • MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        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.

        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.

    I thought Americans thought English Mustard was far too spicy.

    source
    • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Americans are borderline obsessed with hotsauces and spicy food, though. IME, the pushback about english mustard is usually the same as with vegemite - its too easy to use way too much, and thus obliterate the flavours of the rest of the dish. (Plus it doesn’t pair super well with a lot of regional menus.)

      source

      American food can get spicy/spiced as hell

      source
      • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Most american stereotypes I understand or even represent (fat white guy with too many guns here) but I’ve never understood the “american food is bland” thing - I can’t think of a region of the US known for bad food. Why the hell do you think we’re all so fat, if not because we have so much good food to tempt us into excess?

  • arc@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    British people love curries and other spicy things. For most people curries, biriyanis are going to be in the rotation. Even “traditional” British food will usually have things like black pepper, nutmeg, mace, ginger, cumin, cloves, mustard, bay leaves, juniper berries in it. More recently cumin, paprika, tumeric, coriander, curry powder might be thrown into dishes.

    Now i want to try the legendary Chicago Deep Fried Pizza.

    source
    • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      That’s not a thing. Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, which is so thick it’s basically a pie.

      That said, deep-fried pizza IS a thing, and much to my surprise, it was apparently invented in Italy.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_fried_pizza

      source
      • Godric@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Sadly you’re part wrong, Chicago Style Pizza is very different from Detroit’s Deep-Dish. Deep-Dish Pizza is born out of motor city cooking za in automotive pans, with a thick crunchy crust, while Chicago Pizza is made by morons who don’t know how to make anything that isn’t oversauced lasagne.

        i grew up near a place that had something they called a ponza rotta.

        it was the pizza equivalent of a chimichanga. it was a deep fried calzone. my high school had a tradition of trying to run a ponza mile instead of a beer mile. last one to puke after eating a whole ponza and running a mile won. only ever knew one person to actually finish the mile.

        Chicago deep dish pizza is more akin to eating the deep fryer, there is so much oil in it.

    So Americans eat Scottish cuisine sans haggis?

    source
    • ininewcrow@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I’ve always joked that you could batter a bunch of cardboard, soak it in buttermilk, cover it in spicy breading, do it again and deep fry it … and you could base an entire restaurant chain around it.

        I believe it’s illegal to serve in the USA because their food standards forbid selling lungs.
