[Urban Cragou]

I forgot that the Brits are the original owners of spag. bol. (which is in itself a foreign dish).

That’s like beefing with Nigerians and Indians over eating jollof rice and biryani (respectively) with spoons because you’ve been conditioned to believe that the only rice dish that should be eaten with that utensil is rice pudding.

Rice and pasta ain’t nothing to do with the British Isles in the first place so whatever quintessential “British” way to call it is irrelevant. A bonafide Italian would laugh at this conversation, so er … yh.
