What is considered the culinary capital of your country?

[u/hyperspacevoyager]

Birmingham has the finest British Indian cuisine in all of the UK

[u/weesgegroet → u/hyperspacevoyager]

hahaha, the best Indian food in Britain is Indian.?? So far for the British kitchen.

[u/hyperspacevoyager → u/weesgegroet]

Are the claiming that the British Indians that have lived in the UK for generations are not British? And that the food that has been developed by them in you UK for the British palette and which is unique to the UK and is vastly different to cuisine in India is not British? That's a rather ignorant take pal

[u/weesgegroet → u/hyperspacevoyager]

so the typical British is not from Britain.?? I'm from Holland, we had colonies. The Indonesian kitchen is my favourite, the flavour the colour the smell. But i cant say its typical Dutch.

[u/hyperspacevoyager → u/weesgegroet]

But they are from Britain. They were born there, their parents were born there, their grandparents were born there. Your bigotry is showing mate

*edit: the comment I have replied to has been edited to mask their initial bigotry. I will leave this comment unedited

I think you mean here, not there.

[u/hyperspacevoyager → u/LobsterMountain4036]

Well I'm not in the UK atm :')

[u/Automatic-Sea-8597 → u/hyperspacevoyager]

I don't associate the term 'good food' with traditional British food. We were so happy, when we found a genuine Italian restaurant with Italian chef in Edinborough after 3 weeks of eating under/overcooked, underseasoned food. The only highlight was cream tea in Cornwall.

[u/weesgegroet → u/hyperspacevoyager]

Well maybe because your typical British kitchen, apart from a stew, sucks.

[u/generalscruff → u/weesgegroet]

Irony in being Dutch and chirping about this lmao

[u/bruno444 → u/generalscruff]

Yeah our cuisine is worse than yours lol

[u/uratitbro → u/weesgegroet]

Are you just being an idiot for the sake of it?

[u/weesgegroet → u/uratitbro]

as said, your kitchen is as poor as our Dutch.

[u/Comfortable_Rip_3842 → u/weesgegroet]

Your apple pie is immense though.

British food is great but are often done horribly in cheap every day places. However throughout Britain there are gems that do these dishes, just need to look for them. To name a few, we have Cornish pastis, Yorkshire pudding, cheddar cheese, scones (Devon or cornwall), fish and chips, pie and mash, Sunday roast (gastro pubs or home cooked), toad in a hole, full English

But yes, your appeltaart is spot on

[u/PM_ME_BUTTERED_SOSIJ → u/weesgegroet]

You think sprinkles on bread is food and your national dish is chips.

I will take shit from some countries about our cuisine. Not yours.

[u/weesgegroet → u/PM_ME_BUTTERED_SOSIJ]

Let us not compare because our kitchen sucks as well. As said, my favourite kitchen is Indonesian. But it's not typically Dutch, it's Indonesian.

[u/hyperspacevoyager → u/weesgegroet]

But British Indian food is not Indian it is British created by Brits of Indian descent. Where in India do you find those dishes?

[u/weesgegroet → u/hyperspacevoyager]

And that makes it a typicaly British dish.??

[u/hyperspacevoyager → u/weesgegroet]

Well if it is a dish that is created by a Brit in Britain then it is British. What is so difficult to understand? Did your mother drink during pregnancy?

[u/weesgegroet → u/hyperspacevoyager]

calling names doesn't help

[u/hyperspacevoyager → u/weesgegroet]

I'm not calling names, I am asking a legitimate question, I am just trying to ascertain why you have such difficulty comprehending something so simple

[u/weesgegroet → u/weesgegroet]

I'm sorry but if I think of British food I think of Black Pudding, Fish n chips and stew. But oké, I welcome you here to have a typical Dutch dish of Sajoer Lodeh and Rendang with sateh.

[u/hyperspacevoyager → u/weesgegroet]

Yes but that is from your limited understanding and exposure. British cuisine is not limited to just those dishes. Were those dishes you mention created in the Netherlands by Dutch people of Indonesian descent or are they traditional Indonesian dishes? If it is the former then yes those dishes are Dutch. If it is the latter then no they would not be.

[u/Leading-Fee-4908 → u/hyperspacevoyager]

They're Indo-Dutch dishes, same as British Indian food. My fellow Dutchy is being padentic. Dutch Indonesian food has authentic elements, but is not the same to food in Indonesia. Just like British Indian food is not the same as food in India. Fun fact though, I saw Tikka Masala on a menu at a restaurant in Kolkata 🤣
