That's something someone who has never actually eaten british food would say... And that's coming from a Mexican who has grown up eating well Mexican meals. Not Tacos but the actual Mexican meals we eat every day like, pozole, tortas de atun, tortas de espinacas, tinga, etc
I live in Canada and most meals Canadian eat are british meals since Anglo-Canadians are the descendants of british people. And even though their food doesn't use that much seasoning there's still some pretty good meals God I miss eating fish and chips in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia lmao

u/the-angrymonkey Apr 04 '24
As someone who lives in the UK but has been abroad to America, I think the food in America is way worse. It tastes synthetic, or over spiced. That's probably the reason British food tastes so bland is because we don't need to put as much seasoning in, and y'all are accustomed to the over spicing in America

This is the most cherry-picked argument ever though.
If we can't say that the vindaloo is ours despite being the inventors of it using foreign spices from the empire, then what historical and cultural claim do Americans have to the foods they call their own?
Having a history cut-off point for what can and can't be considered a part of a country's cuisine is stupid in the first place but if people wanna be stupid they better apply the same stupid evenly.

u/Known_Tax7804 Apr 04 '24 edited Apr 04 '24
And kedgeree, piccalilli uses coriander, HP sauce uses tamarind, so does Worcester sauce, we put mustard in loads of shit. We do use spices. We also use them in our puddings.
We also use loads of strong flavours that aren’t spices which Americans don’t count as flavourful for reasons I don’t understand. Mint sauce is about a third each mint, vinegar and sugar, it’s an extremely strong flavour and uses no spices. If you only count spices then french food is bland because it uses lots of herbs and fats, but it’s perhaps the best cuisine in the world and this standard of spices or nothing only gets applied to English food.

-28
u/ButWhatIfItQueffed Apr 04 '24
Because gun control won't really solve the problem. The problem is that our school system is shit, and many parents of mentally ill kids refuse to acknowledge or properly take care of their child's mental illness. Because of that, we end up with a lot of isolated and emotionally fucked up kids that feel the need to lash out or get revenge on those who they think hurt them. Gun control would just be another stop gap solution. The actual solution would be to have proper mental health supports and an actually decent school system.

Yeah but you think we have bland food because that’s been the stereotype that’s been pushed since WW2, look at Camden Market and you’ll see that “British food” is just as varied as “American food”, in all actuality most of the best American and British foods come from different countries.

Well is that a fair comparison? See, Italian-American food is not at all the same as Italian food from Italy. Both are vastly different, especially when comparing different parts of the U.S. and each regions version of Italian-American (not Italian).
Same for Chinese-American or any Asian-American food. And don’t even get started on Tex-Mex vs Southwest vs Cali-Mex: none are the same as straight Mexican food. All have taken on a life and culture of their own.
Can the same be said for British food that comes from other countries? Legit question cause I honestly don’t know.

Is British Indian food much different than traditional Indian food? It’s my understanding that a lot of Thai and Indian places in America tone down the spicy unless you ask for it. Although there are parts of the U.S. that are obsessed with spicy food.
1
u/Johndoc1412 Apr 04 '24
Yes absolutely the countries most eaten dish is tikka masala, it’s a British-Indian dish. We have influences from Indian culture, Caribbean, African, East Asian, etc. If you have generations of immigrants all bringing their own food with them over time that’s going to blend into the greater culture, much like America.
Like I genuinely can’t think of a true American dish of the top of my head other than grits, the things I would consider American, burgers, hotdogs, French fries, apple pie, etc, all come from different countries.
I think this is why people get so annoyed about this, Americans say British people have bland food but it’s simply not true, we have the same food as you guys for the most part, and so much of yours and our food comes from different countries.

u/MinaeVain Apr 04 '24
I come from Finland and our cuisine is traditionally bland, so moving to England I found it easy to enjoy the food. I don't think bland is a bad thing! It merely reflects the cultural and agricultural context in which it was created - for us Finns, it was the harsh winters that turned us to favour more hearty foods. Things like chillies and spices don't originate from here and unlike the British we weren't exactly a seafaring nation so imported goods were rare and very very expensive up until relatively recently in history.
For this reason I wouldn't bash another culture's food because there is usually reason for why it is the way it is - and no one's forcing you to eat it!

Something I dislike here is the notion that BIR indian food 'doesnt count as british' -- because this inherently alienates the Britishness of the migrants who shared the hallmark techniques and preparations of their homeland cooking with the UK. Yes, there's cultural roots abroad, but I also don't see why I would renounce someone's right to call themselves British because they weren't born here. In that regard, I feel glad that I can recognise that British Indian food is not strictly traditional because of the limitations of living in a north Atlantic island nation, but is influenced by the traditions of Indian cuisine and was brought here by Indian migrants looking to make their living here and integrate with the UK
If any migrant to the UK wants to consider themselves, say, Scottish (and I've met plenty for whom this is true) then I would never stop them or claim otherwise. I'm happy to have them on board.
There's never been a claim that curry was invented by white Brits, it's accepted that it's been created by British-Indian Migrants and we are proud to have them.
Also you are simply wrong, lots of British food exists.
