I keep seeing this meme everywhere, and it's laughably incorrect. In my experience, Brits like spice more than anywhere else in Europe, Indian/British-Indian cuisine is huge there.

Shit, eat some horseradish sauce or real English mustard (French and American mustards are sweet, English mustard... isn't) and tell me Brits don't like spice.

I'm an Indian guy who's lived in multiple places in Europe and of all of them I've lived in or visited, the UK definitely likes spice the most.

Red Dwarf has a gag where the crew has a time machine, but have sworn never to use it because of the potential dangers. But then the ship's curry supply is lost in a flood, and Lister (an average British slob) decides to go back to 20th century Earth for some curry.

Later on in the series they need a tyrannosaurus rex to lose its lunch, so they make a giant curry. The dinosaur loves the curry, and after having its fill it goes for the ship's supplies of lager and ice cream
