The Dutch and British just took home the natives of their colonies as immigrants who opened restaurants. Why try to emulate when you can get the real deal?

100%

If I hear that an Indian restaurant locally has been busted by immigration, I immediately head round.

Also, the reason most British food is bland is because of rationing during WW2. People who grew up back then ate food which was made with limited resources and that was the food they felt nostalgic for and made for their children, who then went on to make it for their own children.

It's a miracle the French still have good food then

The British do too. Like we have to top five healthiest teeth in the world.

Americans need to stop confusing their memes foe actual knowledge and experience of the world.

how do healthy teeth relate to well seasoned food?
