Butter, Madras, Korma, Masala are just as good. That's not British food. It's Indian. Just because it's now very popular in Britain doesn't mean it's now British. The popularity of Indian food there is due to the low quality local cuisine offered. I postulate that if the Thais had been in Britain before the Indians, Thai food would be the #1 food there. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of us Brits think of British food as the food that's available in Britain i.e. Indian food is British food, as is Thai food, Chinese etc Edited November 11, 2023 by scubascuba3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosLobo Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Britannica's definition of 'Cuisine' which is in the title of this topic is: 'Cuisine, the foods and methods of preparation traditional to a region or population'. I would suggest Indian food is not traditional to Britain.

I haven't found the food especially greasy. I order the child portion now because I cannot eat a full adult portion which is too generous for me. When they started serving a cuppa tea that was a big improvement for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
