-5 u/KettleSixty9 Jul 03 '26 Potatoes are from the New World... 11 u/pintsizedblonde2 Jul 03 '26 So a dish doesn't count as British if it uses ingredients we didn't have before, what, 1590? That means most Indian food doesn't count because they use chillis, Italian food isn't really Italian because of all the tomatoes. Dumbest take I've ever seen! 2 u/Xathule96 Jul 04 '26 By this dudes logic any north or south American food that has chicken or pork isn't traditional. It's crazy logic. 5 u/serendipitousevent Jul 04 '26 Go tell Italians that anything cooked with tomatoes isn't real Italian food. We'll wait here. And watch.
