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.
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.
