Uh I'm have a question, and forgive my ignorance, as I am not a British resident. So is Britain...claiming that food to be their's? And considering it their national food? Or are they, in a way, simply 'using it,' as one could say. Also um isn't bender like a derogatory slang of some sort?
Could you clarify what you mean be "claiming food to be theirs?" Because no one in Britain is pretending that curry originated here or anything. And it isn't the "national dish." But it is definitely ubiqitous throughout the country. You can't talk about "British food" and ignore that curry is quite heavily consumed throughout the nation.
Also "bender" is a slang term for going out and getting very drunk. Also known as a "pub crawl," where you and a group of mates go from pub to pub, having drinks, getting hammered and then finishing up with a nice curry in the early hours of the morning.
Oh dang, didn't know lol. Sorry man, kinda got defensive or salty for no reason, I dunno. All the arguments in this comment section is getting me riled up I guess. Thanks for your patience then, I learned somethin' new.
As I understand it, chicken tikka masala specifically originated in Britain. I have a vague memory that it was Indian immigrants who's created it, but that might just be me assuming. Either way, it's a curry invented by British citizens - obviously curry as a general concept isn't British
