    I think you misunderstand.

    What I mean is the man who cooked the curry and served it to me and my two companions. He’s of Asian heritage but was born and raised in the UK.

    Does that mean that he’s not really British?

    What if he sees himself as British. Is he then culturally appropriating Asian food?

    Because that’s the argument being used about the food too. That dish was cooked in a kitchen in Birmingham. It has Asian heritage too. But is it not the British food?

        Oh fuck off.

        I’m making a point about the international nature of food, and the way in which it relates to identity, and you seem determined to take it in bad faith to truss up your own weak argument.

        Ok, here, have a win. You’re right. You are so totally right. Well done. Enjoy the glory.
