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

You might also want to add Yojimbo and The Seven Samurai to your list too - they're the Kurasawa films that A Fistful of Dollars and The Magnificent Seven are western (in both senses) remakes of.

For A Few Dollars More is so-so (but I'd still watch it again), but The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly is epic.

And if you enjoy them, then take a crack at High Plains Drifter or Pale Rider which are both excellent though share an underlying theme. The Outlaw Josey Wales is also well worth a watch, as is the magnificent (and best picture Oscar winner) Unforgiven starring and directed by an older, wiser, and grittier Clint Eastwood.

When Netflix had (seemingly) everything I was totally cool and the gang with paying for that service.

Now I have:

  • Netflix
  • Amazon Prime
  • Apple TV
  • Disney+
  • NowTv
  • fuck knows what else

and I still can't find the content I want to watch. I had an urge to watch The Good, The Bad And The Ugly the other day. Could I find it on any services I pay a combined £50+ a month for? Could I fuck. Why would they be surprised they're pushing people to 'alternative' sources? Sure, I can rent or buy Barbie and Oppenheimer if I want, but I don't want. What I want is access to the tens of thousands of old, excellent, films that have been made.

I think it's because it was designed to be able to handle hundreds of persistent objects in a scene as a priority over graphical performance. That's why Bethesda games have so much collectable junk - because they can.
