Tell me one good british recipe.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Chicken Tikka Masala

I could go on and list dozens, because the joy of British food is that it's often a mix of different cultures and techniques. Britain is one of those rare places where they'll steal food from everywhere, while also being one of the best places to get "authentic" versions of another country's cuisines.

Just like how all the good Chinese food was invented in America.

EDIT: I apologize but I was partly joking, I love Shaoxing Wine and real Soy Sauce for cooking. There are clearly some good dishes from the many vast cultures of China.

Honestly as someone who grew up with lots of Chinese immigrants friends real Chinese food maybe is a bit odd the first couple of times you eat it but after that it beats the pants off of any American Chinese food.

This is still the stupidest, most disingenuous response. I don't even have time to go into the like 10 things wrong with this response.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You don't have time because it's widely accepted by many that chose to make Britain their home, and you'd spend your time arguing with what is essentially established truth at this point.

As for it sounding stupid, well, it's not on us to make you understand it. Do some critical thinking, and come back when you have the time.

Mash potatoes are pretty good

[–] wieson@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cornish meat pies.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'll give you that one, even though Spanish empanadas are straight up better.

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Fish and chips.
