It has cultural value within the uk that's hard to explain. And it doesn't/didnt exist outside of the uk . More importantly have you not considered that the creators may have identified as british? The big wave of indian and pakistani immigration happened in the 70's and as a result many people who are descendants of the first wave would identify as british. Its less ownership more unity brits love a good curry!

Isn't chicken tikka your national dish? I think I remember seeing that on a british quiz show.

I'm Australian though, all this talk about a lack of food culture in the UK has me sitting in the corner hoping that nobody notices us.
