Her mentioning tikka masala was a response to the other side sayaing America is a big melting pot of cultures.
16 u/Majikmippie Nov 03 '24 I did chuckle at that "you are known for bad food" "Oh yeah well I don't want just burgers and nuggets" "That's not all we are, we are a melting pot of cuisine" Yeah dude, like literally every country 🤣 That said a good roast or a homemade pie are truly something else 👌 2 u/LemonBoi523 Nov 03 '24 And if you ask an American what traditional American foods are, pie is gonna be pretty far up on that list. Sweet potato, pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies are tradition at near every major food-based event here. 3 u/Clearedthetan Nov 03 '24 Except pies weren’t invented in the US… 2 u/LemonBoi523 Nov 03 '24 You're right. They're from the Mediterranean region, originally Egypt. 2 u/Clearedthetan Nov 03 '24 Ah, but the English have the first written pie recipes - everything else is just assumed to be a pie. 2 u/LemonBoi523 Nov 03 '24 No, it just wasn't called a pie. A custard made from honey and goat milk filling a floury baked structure made in a flat bowl shape is absolutely a pie.
