coprolite Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 21 hours ago, Boghead ranter said: I've said this on here before, but back in my days in travel, I had someone come home & complain about the food in the hotel they'd been at. Apparently "they didn't have enough British options, like pasta or curry". Dishes like spaghetti bolognese (probably) or chicken madras are British food though. We just pretend otherwise in this country so we can delude ourselves that we are cosmopolitan sophisticates that eat foreign food. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 That's true, but you'd be as well just lumping it is as early fusion. It's just a natural consequence of human movement. If I go to Trinidad and Tobago the food is a mix of Indian, Chinese, African, European, Creole, etc. Because that's where people came from. Haggis isn't particularly Scottish, and pizza most likely was derived from the Middle East. It just depends how far back you want to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis was invented in France or Italy as I recall while tartan is Irish. Bagpipes originally came from Africa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I wondred how much money you could make just hiring out a farmers field and selling tickets to a "camping festival" basically the T in the park campsite with no bands. no need to hire expensive bands and equipment, just charge c***s to come and get wrecked in a field. i think ther'd be more than enough takersWhen do the tickets go on sale for this? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cross is a religious symbol and I know a few folk who have them that have absolutely no affinity to religion. A ridiculous fashion statement. Fannies. Always wanted an upside down cross to get religious fanatics foaming at the mouth. The athiest symbol is far less subtle and would get the point across quicker IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinese, Indian and probably many other restaurants that specialise in a nations cuisine, don't normally serve like for like food that they would in their home countries, they modify it to suit the taste of the local population 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Haggis was invented in France or Italy as I recall while tartan is Irish. Bagpipes originally came from Africa.Archaeology lives off people making spurious claims to accuracy attention and therefore funding. These sort of claims are generally headline grabbing nonsense. Firstly, it is common for things to be invented by people in different locations independently of each other. Secondly, we can only really go by the earliest information we have managed to gather, which is highly unlikely to be complete. Thirdly, these proto-versions are rarely identifiable as what exists today. It's like when folk claim football was invented in China because 4000 years ago people kicked things for fun.That said, if anyone has a competing claim which would allow us to disavow the invention of golf, I'm all for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Getting involved in pavement dancing at any time, but especially at 10am, like the 2 boys* right outside Love's shop in Stenny this morning. I say boys, but one was mid 30s, and the other late 50s, jeezo man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
