yasmeen-e-salam: aracniadragon: mermaidelephant: jackalovski: As a Brit, I’d like to remind the world that we invented curry, it’s our unofficial national dish. We eat it more than anything else and you can go into any of our fish and chip shops and get curry all over your deep fat fried foods. That whole white people thing is just the USA. I think we exported all the people with no taste which might explain a lot. As an Indian I can assure you that we’ve been eating curry since 2000 BCE so go take your colonialism elsewhere. Did this guy seriously try to claim curry is a British food? indian here. the dishes that are called “curries” definitely aren’t british in origin—and it blows my mind that someone actually claimed it as british—but british imperialists came up w the word “curry” when they saw a bunch of different dishes made by the south asians they were colonizing and wanted a way of somehow lumping all of those dishes into one category. it’s an anglicized version of the tamil word “kari.” so at most the anglicized name is british, and yet british whites claim they invented all the dishes called “curries” lmao -- source link
