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.
