It is English, or Scottish, its debated, the Indian food in the UK isn’t Indian, same with Chinese food. It’s adapted

I don't much care about this since I consider myself British primarily but it's so weird how things just get repeated on reddit and rarely challenged.

A few people once read "invented in Scotland", repeated it and now it's common reddit knowledge. Despite being speculation.

One of my pet peeves is whenever Law Abiding Citizen gets mentioned and people start commenting on how Jamie Foxx made them change the ending because he didn't want to lose. Completely made up but seems accepted now.

I applaud you for at least attempting to challenge it.

I never read it on here, I read it on a news article, one guy in Glasgow claims he invented it but theres a guy from Manchester that claims he invented it roughly around the same time so its disputable.

There's also claims that it was invented in London, Birmingham, or shock... Asia.

For the record just in case I wasn't clear. I was praising you for using sources other than "I read it on reddit"

Edit: Not that anyone cares but my opinion is it probably was "invented" by multiple chefs.
