"And some people say 'These people, they're not even trying to be British. They come here, they bring their own culture, their food, speak their own language, and try to take over the whole bloody place.'

Dunno. Sounds pretty British to me."

If you go to the UK and don't bring your own food, you will most likely regret it.

@mndflayr "The only nation to spend a hundred years setting up a spice empire, only to assidiously refuse to use it in their food"

Luckily, that started to change a few years after I was born, we discovered pizza ("Italian Welsh Rarebit"), and importantly a version of Indian food that has become as much a staple as fish and chips (Jewish tradition via Belgium). I built my own tandoor in the garden and my life is all the better for it.

I want a tandoor, too!

@mndflayr I based mine on this, cost me about £100 4 years ago, a day's work including a 2hr drive to buy parts. Been used at least a hundred times since. So, so good. https://thecurrykid.co.uk/how-to-build-a-tandoor-oven-at-home-for-under-50/
