The Empire Strikes Back! ...against their former colonial overlords

[Furunculus]

Just before I end this, back to the suggested racism in the UK towards Indians, not the case. Many people actually welcome Indians as a migrant group due to the fact they have a reputation for carrying a strong work ethic and accepting views of the British culture.

^ word ^

as contributors to british society in skills and taxes crime and benefits they are pretty much unparalleled as an immigrant group per-capita.

We're that racist we have chicken tikka masala as our national dish.

It says more about the fact that English can't cook than that you're a tolerant nation

It was invented in Glasgow.

Is this Small Man Syndrome? Norway hasn't been important since... forever. Perhaps there is the need to see other diminished to closer to their level.

Indeed. Now if HoreTore has said "Muslims" and not Indians, he might have been right to say the UK public was hostile to them, as it seems there is growing intolerance towards them. But that's another topic.

By the way, I'm not aware of any Dutch cuisine of note. Does it perchance involve pickled-cabage? That would be original.

No it wouldn't be original (Acar, much?). Nor is it actually part of Dutch cuisine. Dutch cuisine (if there is such a thing) is by an large the same as the British one: raise the meat and import the rest of your food from abroad, because the home grown stuff (except rhubarb) isn't worth bothering with (too expensive or not as tasty).

I'm sorry, could you please translate those? I'm all about tasty food but have no idea what you're talking about.

My point exactly. Out of the entire list the only things that are genuinely excellent are Drop (liquorice, but not the English allsorts kind) and Squid. The rest is pretty meh or truly disgusting.

But Squid is cheating because its a Mediterranean dish; and a good consommé is worlds ahead of the rest you mentioned.
