Like I’ve said elsewhere, most of the dishes people associate with Indian food were actually created in Indian restaurants in Britain.

the absolute arrogance of this statement. Disgusting.

Lol, do some research. Tikka Masala, Balti, Korma, Butter Chicken, poppadoms, chutneys, all invented in British Indian restaurants.

I make no personal claim to any of them so how can it be arrogant at all.

Onto what, an Indian guy slightly changing the recipe for a curry leading the brits claiming that any curry served outside of india is based off the tikka masala? Get your own fucking cuisine to export you lazy gits.

EDIT: Here's his original bullshit :

If you're not prepared to actually have a civil conversation, kindly fuck off you idiot.

No. The train was an indian invention, the reason countries except for britain and india have trains is because they are adapting to the mass transit ideas that are indian.

Quite why you felt the need to attempt to call out my edit is beyond me, since I didn't remove anything from the original, it's just clear that critical thinking is somewhat beyond you and so in thought I'd save you the difficulty of doing even 30 seconds of reading and gave you some examples.

shouldn't you be off taking credit for something you didn't do?

Go eat a chicken Tikka Masala with poppadoms and mango chutney.
