Tikka Masala is pretty fuggin’ good. And you lot did invent Worcestershire sauce. Oh, and your packaged snacks? Hugely better than the crap we get in the states. But you can have Mushy Peas.

Worcestershire sauce was a recreation of an Indian sauce by a pair of English men.

Tikki Masala was invented by a Pakistani chef living in Scotland.

Technically both British creations, but I feel like it’s hard to list them as fully British in origin.

  The company has also claimed that “Lord Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal” encountered it while in India with the East India Company in the 1830s, and commissioned the local pharmacists (the partnership of John Wheeley Lea and William Perrins of 63 Broad Street, Worcester) to recreate it. However, neither Marcus Lord Sandys nor any Baron Sandys was ever a Governor of Bengal, nor had they ever visited India as far as available records indicate.
