Many other countries have also not experienced such mass migrations as the UK (colonialism much?) and thus their cuisine has not changed that drastically from like 100 years ago

Dude that is what I was saying! We are agreeing!

I have had this discussion with my polish colleagues frequently given the difference in immigration levels between UK and Poland.

We always note the irony of Polish people being one of the largest migrant groups in the UK now, but the food and traditions being poorly integrated. (That said you can get some wonderful sausage and cured meats at supermarkets now that we can thank them for).

Sure, draw the lines where it suits your argument I guess. If it helps you dictate to people what their traditions are then it’s all coming up Milhouse for you, eh?

You can draw an arbitrary line in the sand anywhere and say anything after it is not from that place. Are all the French influenced dishes in Britain not British? What about Saxon or Norse? Again, this doesn’t seem helpful framing.

The traditional foods of a country, to me, include what is eaten broadly over recent generations.

As for Tikka Masala, is tea drinking not British too?

You’re agreeing with me. You said that not having any natural spices lead to a culture not eating any spicy food. I said that having a lot immigration from countries with spicy food changes that, as proven in much of the western world.

You’re right, food in countries that had no spices at that time wasn’t spicy. I’m not sure that says anything very interesting though.

Traditional to when? We’ve had spices here for centuries And they were barely used in British food.

It was waves of Indian, Asian, and Afro-carribean migration that lead to changes in cuisine here.

It’s for kids and old people mostly. We have the standard el Paso once a month or so and it’s fine.

El Paso is salty processed crap that makes for an easy tea when you can’t be arsed. If you want real spice, there will be 5 curry houses within a mile of you selling Vindaloo and Ceylon.

The UK doesn’t have much naturally growing spicy things either, and spicy food is still pervasive here.

It’s what having virtually no immigration from the east or the med does to cuisine in a country.

Judas 2: Electric Bugaloo

I’ve been using Metube but it’s pretty basic. Might give this a shot.

They despise the current government and it shows in their reporting. The BBC are used to getting paid regardless of who is in government, and have been almost overtly right leaning for years now. They’re currently headed by a former conservative political candidate. Laura Kuennsberg has had more accusations of bias levied against her than is normal for someone who’s job is quite literally to be politically unbiased.

Flick on to BBC News 24 and watch some of their coverage of Charlie Kirk. The final nails are firmly in that coffin.

Same. I didn’t realise there was anything wrong with it tbh

I buy vinyls and merch. It doesn’t entirely cut out the middleman but it’s less morally bankrupt than giving it to record labels

IoT sort-of-kind-of replaced CE

Put one at each end and spin that Weiner

I think it gets a pass for directly referencing his horrifying record as a minister, politician, and human being, on almost every count.

It sure does

You can pay a lot for that in some parts of the world

Damn, where’s the pancake mix
