British food may not have a good reputation globally, but then again neither does American food. I eat all noodles, pasta, and rice; just the same as I'll eat a nice casserole or a ploughman's lunch. I dont have any kind of issue with eating food traditional to other cultures.
I do like curry, and this is another good example.
You can buy pre-made curry pastes/sauces. I would prefer to use one of those, add a bit of chicken and onion, boil up some rice.
The majority of ordinary people prefer to do that as well (and I can include people who's mum and dad are Indian who I know who just buy the sauce in a jar)
Do you think that using a pre-mixed curry sauce is somehow less authentic, less clever, less worthy? Do you consider men such as myself culinary neanderthals?
Well I say to you again - its cheaper, easier, and unless you are an experienced cook will end up tasting nicer.
I can make myself a nice chicken balti in about 20 minutes using 4 ingredients.
Doing that is better than eating a microwave curry, because it will work out cheaper, you'll have fresh chicken and some fresh onion and less funny additatives that they put in frozen food.

Im not ashamed of my class. I work in the petrol industry and have my whole career. I like football, not the theatre. I go to the pub to drink beer rather than a dinner party to trade recipes of puccini mushroom fritters. I wear jeans, not chino's. I'm not ashamed of who I am, and I wont be made ashamed of it by people who think their habits and interests are superior to men like myself.
