Default M&S 'biryani' wrap causes controversy

"I wouldn't say that (the wrap) is a biryani because a biryani is a rice-based dish and we don't use wraps when we make one - that's a no-no. And sweet potato is something we don't traditionally use either.
"It's great that M&S is trying to show that there are different varieties of food out there, but we'd like it to be truer to its nature," she added.
It's not the first time the retailer has been accused of cultural appropriation.
It was criticised over the authenticity of its curry kits just last year, while Jamie Oliver came under fire for selling microwaveable jerk rice.
Even the humble Cornish pasty hasn't escaped the controversy, after a vegan version was launched.
But while some find the wrap culturally offensive, others simply see it as just another grab-and-go option for lunch.



Im leaning towards the grab and go option
