If you do this, you’re going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Fun fact: you can just pirate stuff.

You don’t have to make semantic arguments to justify to yourself why it’s actually moral or not technically stealing or whatever. You can just pirate stuff.

That’s pretty funny to me. I read the start of a King novel when I was probably too young for it (pretty sure it was It?), and just got bored with it. Never tried reading another for years. A decade or two later I tried the Dark Tower series and ended up binge-reading the first 5 books.

I really love those books, although I absolutely see their flaws and understand why people wouldn’t like them.

Either way, I definitely don’t think you need to be a Stephen King fan to enjoy them. I mean, I’m certainly not and I certainly did. Still haven’t read any of his other works…

I take issue with the word “immigrant” as it implies compliance, but okay.

No, that was not my intent, but I see your point. I think this is really all I meant to say:

Most former colonies of Britain can feel the influence of its culture a lot more than Britain feels the influence of any of its colonies’ cultures.

So when Britain says “we totally invented how to put butter and spices in a tomatoe base and add some chicken”. And tries to claim one of the last few things they haven’t from this subcontinent? I get kinda angry.

But, more to my point: let’s say I walk into an English pub, and ask what they’ve got on the menu. How many times do you think they’ll tell me about the unseasoned fried fish, or the unseasoned fried potatoes, before they mention “oh and we’ve got chicken tikka masala”

Not exactly a national dish, in my opinion.

“British chefs with South Asian heritage” lmao. That’s one way of putting it.

Yes. I agree. It is VERY British.

Would you like to go more into the origin of the phrase “British-Indian”?

I’m not disagreeing there. But were those British chefs who came up with it? And not chefs they brought back from places which Brits had conquered? Obviously no.

And, needless to say, tikka masala is about as far from modern English cuisine as you can get.

Lmao I guess when you’ve subjugated half the world, you can claim any dish as your own.

Cool, so in a few years we’ll have a screen which isn’t better in any noticeable way?
