Chicken tikka masala would like a word.

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.
arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks 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…
nyctre@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 weeks 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…

Pretty sure it was an Indian immigrant

Most “American” foods were brought by immigrants too.

The British national dish is curry.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 weeks ago
That’s the Indian national dish, and Britain got so made about losing the empire they stole it.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks 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.

According to that logic, Pizza Hawaii is an Italian specialty
arc@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
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.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 weeks 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.)
cattywampas@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
American food can get spicy/spiced as hell
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 weeks 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?

Scot’s deep fry everything. Deep fried Mars bar is amazing.

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.

If you add star anise and garlic to British food it magically transforms into French food

Now i want to try the legendary Chicago Deep Fried Pizza.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 weeks 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.
Godric@lemmy.world 4 weeks 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.
thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Scots do it too.

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

You need spices for mince pies and fruitcake. Worcestershire sauce and HP sauce. Cakes and sauces basically.

So Americans eat Scottish cuisine sans haggis?
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 weeks 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.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks ago
Why? you can deep fry haggis too, my local chippy does that
steeznson@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I believe it’s illegal to serve in the USA because their food standards forbid selling lungs.
