I hate their stage names. Baby, Sporty, Posh? Why tf didn't they use actual spice names? Ginger was already there. Why others weren't called Cinnamon, Pepper, Clove, and Nutmeg? Fucking Brits. ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿคฌ

Imagine the Brits actually using spice

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah! It's not like tikka masala exists or is the most popular British dish or anything.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Tikka masala being the best British dish will never be not funny

Isn't that.... Indian?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nope! Invented by Bangladeshi/brits in England. Its plenty inspired by butter chicken, but made completely differently with British ingredients.

it's that class of "immigrant took their native cuisine and retooled it to make drunk locals do that cartoon thing where they smell a visible trail of scent and start floating towards the source, whereupon they hand over their entire wallet in return for delicious food"

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Definitely. But the sentiment these days are that the immigrants are natives. So therefore the food that is made is native too, by extending the logic.

There comes a time where the imported variant becomes more popular than the original. Just look at the italians and pasta.

The Americans rightly claim a lot of food that was made similar elsewhere, but garnered popularity in the us. Hamburg-er is a perfect example. They also "claim" food that might not necessarily be considered American by everyone, like pizza.

Scary was the worst stage name. It really hasn't aged well

Americans eat old spice all the time, but Brits try some baby spice and suddenly they've got no taste.
