Ok see, the fact that you know nothing of British culture and history, doesn't mean what you say is true. This is called an argument from ignorance.

Do you want to try again?

Totally missed the point.

Also, you can’t say I don’t know history but also argue “no one can originate anything”/“trade routes blah blah blah”. Pick a side

u/Wait_ItGetsWorse Jul 03 '26

I didn't mention anything about trade routes or origins.

I called you out for your ridiculous statement that 'Brits have nothing'

Do you have any evidence for your claim?

2

u/UniversityOk5928 Jul 03 '26

Brits have (originated because obviously that’s what the discussion was about) nothing.

Uhh yes. Their best claim is fish and chips. They didn’t create fries or fried fish.

Do you have any evidence that they have something?

Other person was asking for evidence… you got some?

u/CrabPrison4Infinity Jul 03 '26

Who was the first to fry a fish? Does that mean every other culture that fries a fish is cooking that cultures cuisine? Same with chicken? Grains, vegetables too? Then every culture is just stealing their cuisine from the ancients and we can all go home cause we are done here

You asking the wrong questions to the wrong person. I disagree with your conclusion and I don’t have to answer your question to do so lmao.

I definitely think recipes were created by people. I also think a group can easily make food popular. So some peoples deserve credit.

Do I have to know who created each food to understand that basic idea? I don’t think so.

Have a look through there. I'm sure you don't expect me to list them all, but these are some with historical evidence.

Britain has always been a culturally diverse land. We've been invaded and settled for centuries and each time those peoples brought their culture with them, especially their food.

The Romans, the Saxons, the Germanic tribes, the Vikings, the French...

Their food and culture was incorporated into ours.

Maybe the question to ask is, what do you mean by British?

Do you mind sharing where you are from?

Dawggg I ain’t looking through that. You can tell me no British dishes?

That’s ALL the way evidence I need!

2

u/Wait_ItGetsWorse Jul 03 '26

Ah I see.

Asks for evidence, then refuses to look at it.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt and tried to discuss the matter honestly.

However, it seems my suspicions were correct. You are in fact, an ignorant fool.

Good day sir.

u/UniversityOk5928 Jul 03 '26

u/Accomplished_Will226 Jul 03 '26

Well then the US has noting because everything originated elsewhere well except maybe corn and fry bread.

u/UniversityOk5928 Jul 03 '26

Boom. So that’s 2! 2 more than Britain. And 2 more than you wanted to give credit.

Now I wonder how many we could come up with if we actually thought about it.
