Jem we have been cooking and eating curry in this country for centuries, your old, did you not notice :-)

ratter that's it the Ship, nice place

[RATTER15]

and yes it is a meal, a bit of strawberry jam on top and a good cuppa and you have a Devon Cream Tea :)

[Frank97]

Very British in that case.

[erin-x]

Wasn't chicken tikka masala created in Glasgow? That's what i've heard.

[RATTER15]

But Mccfluff, surely to British it would need to have originated from Britain and the contents grown ln this Country?

Well in my eyes anyway.

[mccfluff]

no i don't think so, our british cusine has absorbed so much from immigrants, invaders over the centuries, curry is a part of british cuisine in my eyes, i wouldn;t mind betting you can find all the ingrediant sourced in the uk if you wanted to

jamies great british food was a good series a lot of food you were convinced was english turned out to be a result of foreign invasion

Ratter, We had my S in L & brother round for her birthday & I spent all afternoon making a special Sherry Trifle, when I presented it my S in L shuddered, evidently for the same reason as you she hates trifle of any kind.
She ended up with mince pie & cream.

Historians have recorded that the roots of pie can loosely be traced back to the ancient Egyptians during the Neolithic Period or New Stone Age beginning around 9500 BC. The Neolithic Period is characterized by the use of stone tools shaped by polishing or grinding, the domestication of plants or animals, the establishment of permanent villages, and the practice of such crafts as pottery and weaving. These early forms of pies are known as galettes, which are essentially rustic free-form pies. Our ancestors made these pie-like treats with oat, wheat, rye, and barley, then filled them with honey and baked the dish over hot coals.

I hardly ever eat British food. I went to a primary school that had a policy of making the kids eat the food. That put me off for life. I can still remember sitting there with a flippin mince pie when all the other kids had gone back to after-lunch classes. I haven`t eaten sponge pudding, custard and the like since I was 10 years old.

If NI isn't British there's been a helluva fuss about nothing over the years.
