    Well you used spices and things with flavor, so it’s not very British.

      If you’re going to ignore the entirety of British-indian cuisine, then Americans really shouldn’t be calling Mexican food their tastiest creation.

        Brit here. National dish is fish and chips or a roast, tikka masala is top 3 but not number 1.

        Fish and chips is the other national dish, and the first one. While I like it, it isn’t exactly full of flavor.

        Classic British cuisine doesn’t really have spices, because the British Isles don’t really have too many foods that can be used as spices. Sure, once they colonized India, they got some spices, but even still classic British food mostly stayed the same.
