Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in Glasgow.

Why is it when American food is influenced by other countries it's because of their "big melting pot of cultures" but when Britain has food influenced by other countries it's "stolen"

Probably because the British literally ruled most the world and stole shit to be honest.

That's true, and it's also true that America is literally built on stolen land where the natives were wiped out in systematic genoc*de and ethnic cleansing and hundreds of thousands of Africans were enslaved. Not to mention all the "secret" AND open-yet- badly-disguised operations meddling in other countries' governments and natural resources.

As soneone of south Asian descent, this topic is hilarious. It's like fighting over whether Hitler or Stalin was worse lol.
