We invented one of the world's most popular cheese, Cheddar, which is actually named after an English village. Also our national dish is Chicken Tikka Masala. I dare you to say we don't use spices. We invented several varieties of spiced sausage, spiced cakes and fruit bread, even some kinds of spices rum.
Don't get me wrong, lots of British cuisine is lackluster for sure, and I don't think we can compete with the likes of Thailand or Italy. That doesn't apply to everything we do though, and some of our deserts and cheeses are top tier. Thailand is literally known for diplomacy through food as well, so hardly a fair comparison.
Chicken Tikka Masala uses waaaay fewer spices than traditional Indian food. It's the thing people who don't like Indian food order in Indian restaurants.
It doesn't actually have less spices as such, it has less chilli and more cream so that it's less hot. Korma which is legitimately Persian and from the indian subcontinent is more mild than Chicken Tikka Masala. Likewise Makhani and Hydrabaddi are Indian dishes with a comparable amount of cream and hotness. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not a hot curry, but it's not weaker than some of the things coming from India or Pakistan.
fuck. I had a weird allergic reaction the last time I got indian and I haven't gone back because I don't take risks with allergies. I miss my malai kofta.
You could always learn to make it yourself
I have. I need to identify the spice I am allergic to before trying it again. It was hospital bad. Fun fact, allergy tests at allergy doctors don't have that specificity.
Yeah fairs. Have they given you an epipen or something for next time?
No, because the MDs refused to recognize that the allergic reation came from food. I had to literally steal one. USA! USA!
How do you know it's from food?
because I'm not an idiot.
Yeah I mean who doesn't know the exact molecules that enter their body chemistry at every second right
Yeah it's clear you don't know that for a fact, and are not a doctor. Maybe you should start listening to medical professionals more.
The same medical "professionals" who don't take the time to read my medical history before my appointment? They aren't and don't prepare. If I displayed the same carelessness in my own profession I'd lose my licensure.
Why do you have a history of food allergies or something?
