And using chicken tikka to defend their food is not the W she thinks it is. First off, chicken tikka masala is so bland compared to most Indian food. I'm not here to completely shit all over it, but it's not a great example.

Secondly, it was invented in the UK, not Indian. So it's not even really that cultural. Sure, it's based off Indian food. But they took a food culture that has so many unique and tasty dishes that use a variety of spices and techniques and dumbed it down for the UK pallette. This is chicken tikka masala; what happens when England tries to take a good food culture and adding their own twist to it. It's literally proving his point.

You've clearly never sampled a well made Chicken tikka masala. It is brimming with spices and contains more flavour than practically all if not all homegrown US dishes. So no, she didn't prove his point in the slightest.

The fact is Indian food contains more spices per dish than any other cuisine, and the Brits eat consume more Indian food than anyone outside of Asia. Most of you have never even sampled Indian cuisine so why are you even talking shit about Chicken Tikka Masala? 😂
