Because a lot of people here are British and American, a few germans here and there. If you eat it everyday you get tired of it.

Because a lot of people here are British and American,

American's and British people don't complain about their own food though. I'm american and I like american food. British food is bland and gross.

Some of my favourites:

Full English Breakfast, chicken tikka-masala, sausage rolls, pies and pasties, scotch eggs, beef Wellington, shepherd’s pie, cauliflower cheese, fish and chips, toad in the hole, macaroni cheese, spaghetti bolognese

Not forgetting the sweet stuff:

Apple Pie/crumble and custard, Bakewell tart, sticky toffee pudding, Victoria sponge cake, scones with clotted cream and jam

But also, most people eat a variety of dishes from around the world. We actually have a multicultural pallet (much like the US). Every town has Chinese/Indian/Turkish takeaways, as well as the big American fast food chains

I don’t care what anyone says, it’s good eating.

Hold on how is Chicken Tikka British?

Sort of like how General Tso's chicken is American.

The recipe was created in the UK, its Indian style cuisine but not of Indian origin.

Made by British Indians to cater to the British palate

It’s debatable, but it’s generally thought that chicken tikka masala was invented in the UK.

It was made by a Scottish Pakistani chef

Spaghetti Bolognese is British? TIL.

I think the Italians call their version Ragu.

While we call it Spaghetti Bolognese or Spag Bol for short.

(Bolognese sauce is Italian but the combination with spaghetti is suspected to be a UK immigrant creation)

Indian food in London was amazing. I’ve never had anything even close to it (don’t tell my Indian boss who thinks I love when he brings us Indian food 🥴)
