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.

Slightly ho-hum fact: I was being quite tongue in cheek throughout 😁
Oblivious fact: Me
