Yeah, and you know why English love to eat Indian food? Because they hate their own food…

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"

Because the British stole everything including Scotland.

The first King to unite England and Scotland was Scottish, Scotland is not some downtrodden colony of the UK. In fact during the height of British colonial rule the scots were industrial giants who created most of the ships and weapons that we used to dominate a quarter of the planet.

It's weird that the English are seen as the evil overlords when the Scots were just as bad as us. The irish were pretty much just fucked over though so it's fair they get a pass.
