    Bri’ish food is some of the best in the world too. Because we know how to use spices and not high fructose corn syrup

          That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, you’re just trying to change the topic, and think that somehow calling out America’s history of colonization (by not only Britain mind you) is some sort of “gotcha” moment.

          But I’ll bite. Personally, European descent. But many native friends and family members, and lots of time volunteering with local native non-profits and political campaigns. Which is likely more than 99% of Americans could say about any sort of native support.

          I’m on the west coast, you know where all the natives were forced to move. Many of the “illegals” the bigots complain about in my area are actually Native Americans or have native ancestry.

          But none of that is about the topic at hand, food and Britain’s lack of utilizing the spices they spent so much effort to get.

        And how, in your wee head, does the fact that it came about due to colonisation make it not British?
