Spectacularly missing the point of why bigotry is bad in the first place.
Telling someone they’re in “bigotry debt” over something that someone they’ve never even met did 200 years ago, and therefore fair game for pig-ignorant abuse, is as close to textbook racism as you can get. You have absolutely zero moral high ground here.
I was about to say this same fact on another comment above, but then I read the wikipedia article again
apparently it isn’t like an ‘official’ national dish, I guess it comes from Foreign Secretary Robin Cook referring to it as “a true british national dish” in a speech
Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish, not only because it is the most popular, but because it is a perfect illustration of the way Britain absorbs and adapts external influences. Chicken Tikka is an Indian dish. The Massala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy. (full speech) (wikipedia)
Bean on toast isn’t even bad. It should be jellied eels or a toad-in-the-hole.
Brits made those up so the colonies would give them the spices willingly, out of sheer pity.
They did fuck all with the spices, but that’s not the point.
The British national dish is curry.
Bigotry always goes hand-in-hand with ignorance.
The Brits are like the OG Big Daddies of spreading bigotry across the world, its ok to give it back, they are severely in bigotry debt.

It’s like how if your people got genocided you get the genocide pass.
No it isn’t, bigot.
This take is spicier than 99.5% of English cooking.

Curry is not British
chicken tikka masala was very much invented in britain
Again, I’m talking about curry in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry
What spice is in every single British savoury recipe?
Having got three wrong answers in a short space of time, the correct answer is pepper. Now guess where pepper grows…
Salt. In at least 50% of their savoury dishes
Close, but salt is not a spice.
Are you even British?
The correct answer was pepper.
Found the frogeater!
Probably pig blood or boiled yew tree bark but with a posh name.
Bay leaves, maybe?
WTF toad in the hole is amazing! What do you even think it is?
You know toad in the hole doesn’t have actual toads in?
It’d probably be nicer if it did, tbh. I don’t know how you make a Yorkshire pudding worse, but they did it.
it’s sausages in yorkshire pudding. do you hate sausages?
well ain’t you a contrarian
Or stargazey pie
Nooo. Noooooooo. Nooooooooooooooo. I DID NOT WANT to know this exists. (Vomiting noises…)
It’s fish with breading. It can’t possibly taste much different from something like fish and chips
oh yeah everyone hates fish in sauce in pastry. Every American in New England would never eat fish in sauce in pastry
Not if it’s staring at them.
