      The taste of British food and the looks of British women made the Britains the best sailors in the world!

      I was going to defend us by pointing to how some of the most popular places to eat here are focused on spicy foods (curry houses) but when I thought about it more… you’re right :(

      The most popular dishes there are usually the less spicy ones (but they taste really nice and would probably taste even better if they were more spicy)

      We didn’t just steal the spices, we stole the cooks too. Eg, our first curry house was 1810, run by a Bengali chap. So we didn’t piss about with traditonal English dishes to get our spice fix, we just went out for a ruby instead.
