Are you not aware that a British national dish is Chicken tikka masala?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Brit here. National dish is fish and chips or a roast, tikka masala is top 3 but not number 1.

Oh come on lad! I am defending you guys here and you have nothing better to do than back stabbing me?

Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish

If you think a friendly debate like that is backstabbing you clearly haven't been to south London

Never mind, I´m just being ironic :)

Fish and chips is the other national dish, and the first one. While I like it, it isn't exactly full of flavor.

Classic British cuisine doesn't really have spices, because the British Isles don't really have too many foods that can be used as spices. Sure, once they colonized India, they got some spices, but even still classic British food mostly stayed the same.
