      This was all far enough back that funny things happened like Scotland’s royal family actually taking England’s throne.

      And yeah if you get reductive enough there’s been no originality in the last 10,000 years. Food also absolutely crosses borders, like the Norman invaders who brought North West French dishes I haven’t even mentioned.

      At any rate there’s definitely more to British cooking than curry and tea.
