People who insist on sharp borders and purity of essence in food strike me as having the same kind of brainworms as the weirdos who insist on keeping languages static and unchanging without understanding what a complete bastard polyglot fuckpile of different regional tongues basically every single language already is.

It gets tricky though. "Hipsters" looking for "authentic" food has its own fetishization and is gross. But I've also had Vietnamese, Pinoy and Malay friends have a real crisis of consciousness when "their" food became en vogue. In my white expectation, repackaging their cuisine to meet the expectations of the dominant culture is what the primary insult should be. And it is an insult, but one that is expected. The Dutch like Dutch food, so Indonesian restaurants in the Nietherlands cater to Dutch tastes. The British like English food, so Indian restaurants in Scotland cater to the local taste. Standing proud and saying, "This isn't for me, this is for you!" is a real declaration of self-identification. The crisis comes when the "weird, smelly" thing (usually fish sauce-based) that they were made ashamed of as a kid becomes the new "thing".

"I was made fun of this growing up and now the same people who mocked me are enjoying this, getting rich off this!?!"

I get that as a casus belli.

I get your point, but I am not sure the Scottish would like being told they like English food. Theirs is obviously much better.

The handful I met would likely punch you for calling them British as well, even if it may be technically true.

Food can be a weird thing there since while it can be a genuine way of embracing new cultures it can also be a very colonialist thing.

Sometimes you get both, like the British conquering half the world for spices and then deciding they didn't want any.

Lmao what, Scottish people are proud of having the worst food on earth, literally today one of my aunt's messaged me a pic of extremely burnt toast, a staple of Scottish cuisine. Black pudding, tatty scones, breakfast sausage and baked beans are great but it's "die at 40 of heart congestion" food

Look, if everyone's able to enjoy spices thanks to trade routes making it plentiful and cheap, then clearly it's disgusting commoner muck and REAL British food shouldn't use any of that nonsense! :wotwot:

So if you told her some english food was better than that she would agree?

Given that there is no such thing as objectively superior food, any claim that x food is better than y should probably be treated as subjective and/or tongue in cheek

They actually don't taste burned if they're done right, they're more like toast except the rest of the roll isn't toasted. I like to have a couple buttered with a few slices of Jarlsberg, it's a pro light lunch.
