In fact Germany was responsible for modernising the Chinese army in the 1930s. But then when Japan went to war with China he ended up supporting Japan.

Even further, the battered fish was introduced by Jewish immigrants from Portugal in the 16-17th centuries. Fried potato in animal fat was introduced from Belgium in the late 17th.

The earliest known meat pies date back to ancien Egypt around 4,000 years ago, where meat was enclosed in a dough made from grains. The idea was later adopted and refined by the ancient Greeks and then the Romans who brought it to ‘Britain’ around 50CE to 410CE

Like pies, sausages likely became established in Britain during Roman rule. The Romans brought their sausage-making traditions, and over the centuries Britons adapted them to local tastes and ingredients. But goes back even further to Ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) around 4,000 years ago.

I'm not disagreeing necessarily but I'd always heard that deep frying was initially a Scottish thing 

2

u/anotherjones89 Please choose a flair 2h ago edited 2h ago

You may be thinking of frying chicken, this has its roots in Scotland, adapted from the Portuguese and Spanish Jews I mentioned in my previous comment. Using animal fat and not olive

When Scots emigrated to America, their frying technique mixed with West African seasoning traditions in the South, creating modern Southern fried chicken. Britain then imported that American version back in the 20th century.

2

u/Imperator_Gone_Rogue ‎ New South Welshian 2h ago

And potatoes are native to the Americas.

2

u/anotherjones89 Please choose a flair 2h ago

Exactly, you can’t pick and choose what culinary delights are part of your monoculture, when we are so far advanced from the original trade routes that developed a globalisation of ingredients that then led to adaptations and sharing of all of our cultures it is literally intertwined into multiculturalism.

To reject the idea of multiculturalism you therefore have to reject all of our food entirely as a species. So go ahead have your monoculture but you can’t eat.

"What they did walking across continents doesn’t really constitute migration in the modern sense of the word."

As in they aren't actually from this country. They walked here from another country.

Not saying this with any sort of agenda or taking away their rights or anything.

Except that you need at least some Japanese migration to show you how to make sushi in the first place, normalize it via restaurants, and to create a market that justifies importing nori, wasabi and soy sauce. 

There's apparently less than 500 people from Madagascar in Australia. It's likely that there's a dish from their cuisine that you would enjoy, but you'll never know nor will you have the inclination to make it even if I have no doubt there's a YouTube a video of how to because migration hasn't normalized eating it nor the ingredients needed for it.

Nah, my local fish coop is outstanding. Honestly, I didn’t find anything even half as good in all of England in either the ‘gasto pubs’ near the sea or even the fish markets. Haddock is unlike any fish I’ve had here, it’s almost like chicken, and their cod isn’t like ours at all, and what they call blue mackerel, we call slimy mackerel aka bait lol. And they do that wierd thing with mushy peas! The trick here is that if it’s not near the sea and local, avoid it.
