Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

  • I was shaving my head. Happened to have the news on the TV in the background and thought ‘fuck, that’s awful’ after the first plane, then ‘fuck, that’s deliberate’ after the second. I guess the twin towers is our ‘you remember where you were moment’ for those of us too young to remember the moon landings.

    Meh.

    I was getting a Chinese takeout a while back. A guy came in to pick up his order and sank 4 cans of Carlsberg Special Brew (7.5% ABV) in the 5 minutes it took them to get it ready for him. He wasn’t savouring this beer, he was just fucking necking it as fast as possible.

    Who knows the struggles other people are going through and the things they do to get through the day without losing it.

    Yes, there have been a few comments mentioning Tikka masala, but can you name another British dish with flavor? I don’t think so.

    Let’s kick off with curries! We’ve been eating ‘curry’ since 1598, so longer than a lot of other countries have existed. As well as chicken tikka masalla, we’ve adapted or invented a few, such as:

    • Madras curries
    • Jalfrezi curries
    • Balti curries
    • Phall curries

    For other British dishes with flavour, try (in no particular order):

    • Any Sunday roast; beef with Yorkshires and horseradish sauce, pork with applesauce, lamb with mint sauce.
    • Full English, full Scottish, Ulster Fry, Full Welsh
    • Kedgeree
    • Steak and kidney pudding
    • Cream tea
    • A proper ploughman’s lunch
    • Sausage, mash, onion gravy with English mustard
    • Cullen skink
    • Shepherd’s pie / cottage pie
    • Fish pie
    • Irish stew
    • Lancashire Hot Pot
    • Marmite on toast
    • Bacon sarnie
    • Kippers
    • Sheffield fishcake butty
    • Welsh rarebit
