It is british indian food, they dont eat that type of food in india its a special type of curry mixed with tomato. Indian-british food is like tex-mex, its unqiue. Also not colonized people but indian immigrants, its not like going to a japanese restauraunt, its like going to a tex-mex restuaraunt and going 'thats the best tex-mex food ive ever had'

Makes sense!

Though I will say for the point in the middle. Why did those people immigrate? And why to the UK in particular and in such large numbers? I feel like we both know the answer to that is colonization.

Though I do hope it’s good. After seeing British “Chinese food” I don’t have high hopes at all, and the lack of seasoning is frightening in that second image, but I feel like it could definitely be good! Especially going off of that first picture.

It helps if you slam down 8 pints first, a lot of british food makes sense in this context.

Pretty much, I knew a Hong Kong asian family who emigrated because they made so much money in HK paying workers 1 dollar an hour they where able to buy a mansion in the UK. Its colonialism but often its the upper-middle class of the respective countries running these buisnesses, abliet a tiny minority ever manage too.
