What has happened to English cuisine these days? Its all Balti this, spaghetti that.... whats happened to good old fish and chips or meat and two veg? I'll tell you what... its being replaced by these foreign foods.

Gone are traditional meals such as your typical sunday lunch, complete with roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding.

So why are we so keen on all this "foreign muck", as my grandad would say? Well, sure enough, they have a definate taste to them. Balti for example, is a pleasantly spicy curry and when combined with a little rice, makes a nice meal indeed. However, where is the fun in eating Madras and other curries which literally burn your mouth? how can that be enjoyable?

Why dont we British actually try to be British and stop trying to be something we are not? We are not indian, we are not Italian nor are we Mexican, Romanian or anything other than British. So, why cant we just be ourselves and stop following the rest of the world like sheep?

Personally, I used to be proud to be British but nowadays, im not actually 100% sure what I am. Our country is swarming with ethnics, our food is pretty much foreign and its getting to the point where im feeling like the minority. Is it just me, or does anybody else share these feelings?
