Yep, and they've managed to make it bleak af too. Chinese food that caters to UK tastes is all deep fried or brown, and they've bastardized Indian food into sugary, unspiced slop.
You can still get "real" "authentic" food from other cultures, but for some reason it seems like they treat that as almost a novel special experience? Like having Chinese food with actual vegetables and isn't just stir fried noodles drenched in hoisin sauce is an occasion for them.
Truly dire.
Unfortunately, I was only there for a week, and will likely never return.
I had some of the most sugary curry in my life, but I will take your word for it.
Chinese food in the US is all Cantonese, but you can get some legit good stuff. Granted, I’m in the suburbs of a major city.
American takes on Chinese or Indian food or whatever will cater to American palates too. Have you been to a British Indian or Chinese restaurant, cause I have, and to me what you’re calling “an occasion” is the norm.
Only been a tourist there, so chances are I just didn't get the whole experience. I'm sure there's good places but I don't really have plans to go back lol.
Why are you speaking with such authority then?
Just my personal experience with the people I know, idk if it came off like that.
