        The colonies called, curry and tea aren’t British.

        They didn’t make good food. They took it from brown people.

        Typical, ain’t it?

          Haggis

          Meat pies

          Fish and chips

          Shepard’s pie

          Scones

          There’s a ton of great British food.

              This was all far enough back that funny things happened like Scotland’s royal family actually taking England’s throne.

              And yeah if you get reductive enough there’s been no originality in the last 10,000 years. Food also absolutely crosses borders, like the Norman invaders who brought North West French dishes I haven’t even mentioned.

              At any rate there’s definitely more to British cooking than curry and tea.
