I’m British and I see it’s wrong because it simply isn’t true…
We have a ton of spicy foods. The stereotype that we only eat comfort foods like in the meme is old and worn out.
Maybe that’s all you eat, but that’s on you.
Yeah never got this. The nation’s favourite dish is curry. My favourite dish is curry. Isn’t it a running joke amongst Indians how much the Brits love curry?
Things like beans on toast and fish finger sandwiches are cheap and easy lunch snacks for students but not our actual diet.
Yep, just seems disingenuous to act like the history of the spice trade hasn’t affected our food culture when it clearly has massively.
Hell, even curry in Japan is popular not because of India but because of British influence. The reason “Katsu Curry” is called Katsu is because of the English word “Cuts” referring to the cuts of meat in the curry, which is Japanese sounds like ‘katsu’.
Except all the most popular curries in the UK aren’t Indian, they’re British, and infact pretty much any curry outside of southern Asia was introduced by the British (or occasionally Portuguese) like Japanese curry for example.

Lol, thx actually. I finally upgraded my perspective.
The only people I know are polish relatives who live in scotland and well, do have their own custom and creative dishes
But why don’t your comfort foods have spices?
Yep because no British person ever eats curry as a comfort food…

But that’s just hte thing, all the best food in the UK comes from India, France, or Italy.

Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven…
But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else’s cuisines.
By this logic the Japanese don’t have curries and the Americans don’t have pizza, or any other food for that matter.
Exactly.
And India doesn’t have chillies add Italy doesn’t have tomatoes… Where do we stop?
Fun fact: Britain didn’t invent roasting hunks of meat. Or Sundays. Or the combination thereof.
That’s not a real thing. That’s just something English people say to sound whimsical.
Correct. Only Neolithic cultures have their own foods.
Apple crumble is 100% a real thing and it’s delicious with warm custard.
Fun fact: Roasting meat alone does not a Sunday roast make.
Slightly ho-hum fact: I was being quite tongue in cheek throughout 😁
Oblivious fact: Me
I see nothing wrong because buttered bread, fish fingers and beans is a banger of a meal
That’s true. Nothing against it, but acting like there aren’t spicy options is silly.
If you’re five, sure.
Oh my god no one cares, Clive!
