gypsy tart, flapjack, welsh cakes, shortbread, yorkshire puddings, specific kinds of cheese, like tons of types of biscuits and cakes, afternoon tea (including scones), hotpot, eccles cakes, thats not even including Scottish or Northern Irish. sure, we might not have the spice found in Asian cuisine (which i thoroughly enjoy) or al dajaaja almumtaaza alarabiya. my french (who probs have better 'dish' quality than us) friend tells me that British biscuits are the best. not to mention, we have like some of the best chefs in the world? (Tom Kerridge, Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, so many more)
I live in the UK and I never see places selling food like this. Well then again I do live in a city so maybe that's why. The point is that not many places in the UK actually enjoy this kind of food. The culture has been lost because the whole idea of the British for the last 500 years has been to take something from someone else and claim it as their own. Sure in Scotland they are more in touch with cultural dishes, but the closest the UK as a whole gets to signature dishes is a stuffed turkey at Christmas or an "english breakfast"
London so of course it makes sense that I don't see any traditional UK food due to the multiculturalism but I'm not white so I have never eaten traditional British dishes apart from a couple times in my life. My point is I'm certain that there's at least 20 different cuisines from every part of the world that clears UK food by a lot
if you'd read what i wrote you'd see that i said that a lot of other cuisines are better then ours, but i'm just confused what you mean when you say we 'stole' food? as for the three replies i just kept seeing things in your comment that were... strange, so i posted more comments (and you replied with two anyway...?). also, if you've never tried traditional dishes "apart from a couple of times" can you really be 'certain' that there is better food than them? at least try food before you slander it, otherwise you're no better than those who you criticise for having 'no palate'.
but he has put into the system.....? at the very least he has paid a considerable amount of VAT (in addition to the exorbitant fees to simply apply for residency), at the most he has paid that and some level of capital gains and income tax. Furthermore, whilst immigrants residency/asylum claims/etc are accepted, and even after they are they are not allowed to work (for 12months) and receive just £37/week of the government. i disagree with what the man is saying but he has just as much right to have an opinion and to 'moan' as i do, regardless of where he was born. and how is this hypocritical? you need to get off the Nigel Farage youtube channel and understand that our country was built off immigration, and that to avoid the problems that the rest of Europe has it is vital to have a young and capable workforce. stop complaining about the 'boat's, you can't apply for asylum anywhere except in the UK, 'illegal' immigration is the only possible immigration for these people. instead, level your anger at those who mismanaged the economy for the last decade.
guys stop arguing this im not an immigrant. also i apologise for saying britain stole food. its just that they have stolen almost everything else in the past and i got a little heated because i know that the UK is very, very far from perfect morally and ethically, even today, and i got a little angry which clouded my judgement. i will admit i havent been exposed to the british food culture enough to comment on it. i hope we can move past this and let this all be water under the bridge :)
if you think that paying a few contributions into VAT means you should be entilited to free housing, NHS support and the like. Nigel Farage has it right, he wants an Australian style immigration system where you come into the country when you offer something. Not because you want to claim benefits, and sponge of families who have built the country and paid taxes for decades.
I look forward to hearing from you when you have been sat ill waiting for a bed in your local hospital which is full of polish and romanians all sending there money back to there homeland and not putting it back into our system. This is why there econemy has boomed in the last 20 years and ours has gone in the gutter....
Get off google and actually leave your room to see what the real world is like little boy
also, wdym 'take'...? chicken tikka masala is not an indian dish, it was invented by some scottish guy. masala sauce is something different in india as is chicken tikka (or really, murgh tikka). it's indian to the point of having a name taken from indian words and uses indian-style ingredients, hence why it is fusion. what do you mean by 'signature dish'? i mean, i don't like many of our signature dishes, doesn't mean we stole them lol. as i said, hotpot would be my county's signature dish, i dislike it but that's just me. what other foods have we 'stolen'?
as for other dishes, roast dinner is very much 'signature', and most people here enjoy that. i'm not saying our food is the best, by a long shot it is not, but this whole idea that everything good about our cuisine we 'stole' from other cultures is honestly rubbish. also, we literally invented the 'chip' (as in, fried potato, not crisp).

genuinely traditional american food is very good
most of our traditional american food is made by southerners (mostly african americans) and it's actually seasoned and tasty (cajun and creole foods)
