Mate, you should have some UK food that isn't white man comfort food straight from the freezer. We're a multicultural society now.

First of all, whilst everyone knows about the Anglicisation of Indian curry into the Chicken Tikka Masala, fewer know about the Indianisation of the Full English Breakfast and my GOD is it tasty.

Second; Roast Dinner. Enough said.

Third, if you find yourself in a UK city like London, Birmingham, or Manchester and want a simple meal, look for a Fried Chicken shop that has a huge queue that is ethically diverse. Guaranteed to be a thick chicken burger dripping with sensational spice.

Like seriously, we've had people from food tiktok travel all the way from London to try Miami Crispy in Manchester.

That's just three examples.

There's good and well seasoned food in the UK, you just have to know where to find it, and your best bet is looking for cuisine that is the legacy of empire and immigration that's been adopted by the local population. You know, like how all the best food you can find in the US is either from Italian or Mexican heritage.

I'm always saying the biggest argument for diversity is food.

Must be a Tuesday.

You have piqued my interest. What can I look forward to with a Full Indian and where can I find them?

You don't get to claim the rights to dishes from cultures you forcibly subjugated.
