                Ketchup is great. Curry is even better. Engl*sh people serving you bastardized ketchup they claim is curry is not great.

                  Genuinely why is it not great? I think bastardization is good. Indo-Chinese food is excellent but it bears little resemblance to actual Chinese food.

                  Actually think about how much maslsa chai is a bastardization of of Chinese tea! It was smuggled out of their country and then we added milk, sugar, ginger, sometimes cardamom, cloves, black pepper.

                  Haven't actually tasted the dish myself so maybe it sucks

                    Yeah, I’ve basically never eaten food from a brit*sh restaurant that wasn’t massively under seasoned.

                    I’m all for remixing and bastardizing and combining food to make something new, It just has to be done well.

                    Engl*sh colonialism created an arrogance towards other cultures that has resulted in the majority of their cuisine being a boring mess.

          Scotland is not like India they came in as full partners, the royal family post union was even the Scottish king.

          The Scottish agreed to join in a union and let the new British empire use their larger army in return for the English providing Scottish aristocrats access to the slave trade. They were England's partners in crime not the victim and Scotland being poorer than England now is simply a natural consequence of Scotland in comparison to England being rural and sparsely populated.

          The reason Montana has less money moving through it than New York is not due to New York colonially occupying Montana

          I'm Indian and I agree with this. If a Desi person moves to the UK or America and then lives the majority of their life there then I think it's ok to call them British or American or from wherever they now are.

              Britain =/= England, it's the word for all 3 countries. You are mistaking it for England
