Our curries. Conceived by British people. Whose families may have come come from other countries. You know. British people

Like American Chinese food isn't actually what would be eaten by Chinese people from China

Hence why they said "our curry" instead of "curry", to specify which kind of curry they are speaking about since by saying curry in general one might not think about British curry. Just like Australian sushi.

I don't think you get it, lots of popular curries were "concieved" in the UK

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Look up where tikka masala was created. Also, the UK has Asian people.

I'd never dare make a joke like this, not because it's mean or whatever, but because I wouldn't want to show off how little I know about the world.
