Apparently the British wish to lock me up for daring to suggest something with flavor instead of a cucumber sandwich

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This is why the English have to claim half of the food their immigrants brought with them as their own, lest they look up and realize the only tasty thing they make themselves is deep-fried (and even then that's arguably Scottish).
Over a year ago I made fun of the blood-soaked colonial empire island's cuisine and had someone go full gammon on me because I was completely ignorant and (ableist slurs here) because I wasn't aware of how amazing this one curry place was from an authentic Indian family just down the street.
Hey now, the English stole that cuisine fair and square! Next you're gonna tell me the king should give back all the jewels in his crown and sceptre!!
And that big rock they stole from Scotland! That's a heritage treasure of the blood soaked colonial empire, too!
Regardless of how it got there, if it's the most eaten food in the country, how is it not their own? Tea and potatoes don't come from Britain either, not were fries or deep frying invented there.
You can make a pastry in a million different ways, but ultimately there's not really any significant difference between any north European pastry dish.
Scotland has as much a rightful claim to deep frying fish as Britain had to India in the first place (absolutely fuck all right).
You're missing the fundamental point here, though; fuck the UK, sink it in to the sea, Doggerland 2 coming summer of '25.
