“When in Asia, I feel culinary at home. Having Soto Ayam or a decent Biryani is when I feel best.”

Biryani is not an Asian dish in origin.

It was created in Persia / Iran then migrated along the Spice Route to Asia.

In fact there are a number of supposedly Asia dishes that were created not in India or other parts of Asia, but in the UK, and then exported back to Asia.

If in the UK in London try “Mile End” for some of the best Curry houses in the world as far as the European palate is concerned.

Then there is equally as good Birmingham where during University term time sitting down to a decent curry at 3AM was quite popular.

In fact many UK University towns have both decent curry houses, Thai and Chinese eateries, open to quite early hours.

I’m told that the expression

“Time for tiffin”

Or “high tea” as they say in Scotland is a funny back and forth between England and the Raja.

But also the name of a “cold cake” in Scotland that you might know where you come from as,

“Arretjescake”

Anyway it’s time for dinner and this talk of food is as they apparently say in England,

“Making me peckish”

@The fraudulent Winter cloven.

You really do insist on doing it to yourself don’t you?

Do you know the expression about fish in barrels?

So here we go again with

#—-
Which is utterly irrelevant as all the inhabitants of these geographical areas call themselves proudly by these names.
#—-

I very much “ALL” do anything of the sort. In fact we know that some ISIS for instance most certainly did not. So another falsehood from you again.

But also you are doing “present tense” when the topic is historic thus mostly “past tense” and as the link you chose to use in your previous post pointed out, the peoples in the entire region did not use those names not even close as most were unaware of them.

So who is whipping their strawman into servitude?

And then we have

#—-
Again, mansplaining that all the people living in Asia, Afrika, and Europe are wrong about how they call their homelands.
#—-

Present tense again… But even @echo who moans on about it one way or another seemingly endlessly knows that not every one that lives in the European Continent calls where they live “Europe” and certainly not proudly…

Some call it Britain, England, Scotland, Wales, etc proudly but not Europe. It’s why there was this little thing called “Brexit” you might remember being in the news every few weeks and still in the news even now.

Speaking of which,

Not many calling themselves European there… In fact quite the opposite in some cases (if they’ve not been removed by the time you go there).

Also have you seen the election results from over the past few days in Europe?

There are a few there that don’t talk proudly of “Europe” or Europe at all far from it…

There is a song from the “Rocky Horror Show” by Richard O’Brien, called “Time warp”, that has a couple of immortal lines in it that now are the wrong way around,

“It’s just a jump to the left,
And then a step to the right.”

And now as always with you the silly

#—-
I see our host was right, never feed the Trolls.

So are you being put on a starvation diet then?
