>>709112Nice. We'd call that a ham and cheese toastie. Tasty as fuck though.
>>709241>Yeah, that's true. IMO it's good when these things coexist with the old, not when they push it out. Well some older things are arguably getting "pushed out", in the sense that younger people aren't consuming the same stuff that their parents/grandparents did, at least not in the same quantities. Tea is becoming less popular in Britain, with lots of people opting for coffee now (due to American cultural influence I think - and I guess because more people work in offices, and live a busier lifestyle, hence they drink coffee). Also a traditional British food like Bubble and Squeak, which is something my grandmother still makes - leftover vegetables from a evening meal (typically potato, cabbage, brussels sprouts, perhaps carrots) fried up the next day, to have with breakfast or lunch. Pic related. I guess these things haven't been pushed out because they still exist, but yes, they're eaten less than they were.
>When Americans accepted Italian pizza or Chinese restaurants into their culture, for example, I don't see it as a bad thing, it integrated into their culture well. It's not so bad when people respect your culture and share theirs. But it comes to a point when they disregard your heritage and force their narrow view down your throat.Britain is mostly integrating I guess. I don't think foreign cultures are shoving things down our throats, at all. In the case of Indian curries, we eat them because Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi immigrants (who had previously been part of the British Empire) came here in the 50s/60s/70s, and they set up curry houses. Clearly we Brits found that food tasty enough, otherwise it wouldn't have survived. And Chicken Tikka Masala is really an Anglo-Indian dish, since it was created here, by Indian immigrants. It's slightly different from what they actually eat in India. It's an adaptation for British tastes.
