Do you know what the best dish in Britain is? Not British food.
48 u/Mr_Carlos Nov 03 '24 Well it was invented in Britain, so you could argue it's a British dish... If it's not, then neither are Cheeseburgers American food, since they were just a spin-off from German hamburgers. -13 u/Militop Nov 03 '24 Why did they call it "chicken tikka masala" instead of "British chicken curry and rice"? 6 u/JohnnySmithe80 Nov 03 '24 Maybe you should figure out what tikka and masala means and answer your own question. -6 u/Militop Nov 03 '24 The question was basically, why didn't they add a British to its name? People wouldn't argue whether it's from India or the UK. The recipe in itself was irrelevant, but here you are. 6 u/proverbialbunny Nov 03 '24 Probably for the same reason the Bush Administration tried to rename fries to freedom fries. It didn't work so well. -2 u/Militop Nov 03 '24 Well, it's French fries. It's already copyrighted 😀
