Twitter's back on the American food vs British food shit. why don't you all eat a vindaloo and calm down.

we all love texmex, we all love curries, we've each got our own national versions of Chinese food and Vietnamese food and kebab and falafel and West African food and Caribbean food. tikka masala is British and chilli con queso is American and they're both p great.

we're all culturally mixed communities with most of our food cultures built off the influence of immigrant communities, it's chill. it's all haggis pakora baybeeeeee

#red said #i like haggis pakora and the reason i like haggis pakora is a) it fuckin slaps #but b) symbolically i also like it because i think it's the most Scottish food you can have #it's an iconically Scottish food (originating in Turkey) cooked in an iconically Scottish way #(deep frying is iconically Scottish based on the prevalence of chip shops which are an Italian-Jewish-British invention)#and seasoned and invented by Indian Pakistani and Bangladeshi migrants to Scotland #who are some of the biggest contributors to contemporary Scottish food culture #the haggis pakora! served in a munchie box! dipped in Turkish-style chilli sauce! what a good time!
