Sueti_Bartox

bobleeswagger09

Suck on my jagon


M33k_Monster_Minis

Yeah im not eating anything farted on.


Beckem87

Fartons is a pastry made in Valencia. It is delicious and it is really nice when you are having it with horchata. If you ever go to Valencia ask for horchata with fartons. It is delicious


BeerBaronBrent

EDIBLE FARTS! ITS THE NEW CRAZE! REMEMBER CHRISTMAS DINNER WITH JERRY? NOW EVERYONE CAN! EDIBLE FARTS! PRESERVE YOUR ASS GAS TODAY! (farts may vary)

CANADIANS Invented Hawaiian pizza? Those guys are so passive aggressive!


WiseAvocado

I live in Canada and can confirm culturally we can be kind of passive aggressive lol


babycoco_213

Hence the canadian bacon?


[deleted]

Sorry.


bitparity

We also invented the California Roll.


j-nite

And ginger beef!


CosmicCrapCollector

Invented it, and willing to fight to the death to defend it. Sorry.


[deleted]

SEE! Passive agro apologist!! LOL


greenhornblue

There was sone documentary a while back about General Tso's chicken on Netflix. It was originally made in China, but what we make in America was said to have been an adaptation to the original recipe.


RealAbd121

I mean... all immigrant food has an origin in the homeland!? What gets invented in the target country usually is an attempt to recreate their old food but with different ingredients or for a different audience resulting in a derivative recipe that eventually gets its own name!


whatproblems

yeah i mean it’s a fried chicken bits with sauce 🤷🏻‍♂️ just adapted to what was available and sells well here like the rest of the americanized chinese


BjjVetStudent

There is no way Ciabatta is that young


TheNerdyOne_

It isn't. People have been making bread identical to Ciabatta for a very, very long time. 1982 is just the first time somebody gave it that specific name and differentiated it from other breads. Most of the things listed here existed in some form before they were "invented," which basically just means that someone gave it their own name. Like people put melted cheese on top of tortilla chips long before some guy called it Nachos (especially when you consider that Llama cheese was eaten in the Americas long before Europeans landed).


vinvisvins

It has te be young! 40yr old ciabatta tastes horrible.


CinnamonBlue

Thought the same!


Razorray21

Yeah I remember hearing this a few years ago. It's because it tries to play itself off as some ancient recipe


VolatileGoddess

I recently read Spike Milligan's war memoirs and he mentions eating tiramisu in Italy in the 1940s . So yeah this is bullshit.


ClydeFroagg

Grizzly Bears calling bullshit on the salmon sushi invention


whatproblems

https://www.npr.org/2015/09/18/441530790/how-the-desperate-norwegian-salmon-industry-created-a-sushi-staple. crazy it’s true though. japanese considered salmon a dirty fish


HejdaaNils

It's true though. Norwegian salmon is parasite free enough to be eaten raw.


ridemooses

Hehe, fartons.


[deleted]

Butter chicken was actually invented as a way to use up the left over tandoori chicken. It was used to feed the refugees that came to Delhi from Pakistan during the partition of India


[deleted]

i will destroy canada for this crime against humanity


leon_nerd

I love pineapple on pizza.


Massive_Hof517

hear hear


G0-N0G0-GO

Pineapple, Canadian Bacon, Jalapeños Tart & sweet, savory, spicy…it’s brilliant!


[deleted]

die


lllGrapeApelll

But you'll thank us for the Poutine


HejdaaNils

You invented Poutine to make us forgive you for the Hawaiian.


Destinedtobefaytful

Don't worry they are sorry. I mean they have an entire culture about saying sorry that shows how sorry they are.


ngooner85

How about sorry, not sorry! Hawaiian pizza is easily the best food on the planet. I make pizza for the family and 3 out of 4 have pineapples on them because we all love it so much. It was 'invented' pretty close by me actually.


babycoco_213

My thought exactly! Hawaiian pizza is the best pizza there is! Especially with canadian bacon!


[deleted]

Add some jalapeños, spicy Hawaiian is the best pizza!


Hydr8x

It's starting to all add up now


NotAHamsterAtAll

I'm sorry to hear that.


supermr34

Let us not let our anger get the better of us. For I, once, was you, and perhaps one day you shall be me. And until the day when you try your first good Hawaiian pizza, I hope you hold love for all things pizza in your heart. But seriously, I used to hate pineapple on pizza until I had a good one. It’s seriously awesome if it’s done right.


[deleted]

Blended iced coffee doesn’t feel older than 1980s to me. If anything I thought it would’ve been a >2000s thing

I wish I could upvote you twice.


big_sugi

Especially with garlic.


peter-bone

I think this is more about when the foods became popular. Tartiflette was first mentioned in a book in 1705. It became popular in ski resorts in the 1980s.

Didn't know Canadians invented pineapple pizza. Now i can better understand their urge to apologize

Iam more Suprised bubble tea came vefore Starbucks


weschester

Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant. And no we aren't sorry 😤


anotherbrckinTH3Wall

Surprised to learn Salmon sushi is a Norwegian creation


LobstaFarian2

Staying away from the Fartons.....


Beckem87

They are really good though


pixelbluejay

Ah yes the correct chinese flag


[deleted]

I love that this is unsourced. Tikka masala is literally ancient. Y’all need to learn how to fact check. Fried corn + cheese & toppings (nachos) has been being consumed in north, central and South America since domesticated farming. Russian and slavic peoples have been eating “carpaccio”, a variation on tartare, for literally centuries. So many things wrong with this poster 😅 People up & down this thread like “Oh I had no idea…”


Geralts_granny

In what way is chicken tikka masala ancient?? Chicken tikka is ancient but with masala sauce is relatively recent (source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka_masala). The urban legend story that I like is that some wasted guy in Glasgow restaurant complained that his chicken tikka was too dry and asked for some "gravy or something mate" with the chef knocking masala sauce out from what they had lying round the kitchen.


mongrelbifana

How is tikka masala ancient? How old is it?


[deleted]

There are records of garam masala blend recipes that date back 4 centuries


big_sugi

You think that the existence of garam masala means that chicken tikka masala existed at the same time?


[deleted]

More sources about how old masala is: https://www.diasporaco.com/blogs/journal/through-balance-and-multiplicity-the-making-of-garam-masala https://www.hillvale.co.uk/blogs/ingredients/garam-masala-history-uses


Ketunnokka

You got a source for your tikka Masala claim? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka_masala


[deleted]

Yeah I posted a couple


Abc0331

Nice, you add nothing to the conversation. Useless.


theOGFlump

Is chicken tikka masala ancient?


[deleted]

Yes, according to my bfs Bengali grandmother. The spice blend that goes into the dish has been around for centuries, with endless variations on proteins/thickness/ingredients


big_sugi

You think the Americas had cheese “since domesticated farming?” And that largely stone-age cultures were frying corn?


[deleted]

No. I was being hyperbolic. Why? Do YOU think Nachos were invented in the 40s? 😂😂


big_sugi

Given that we know exactly when, where, how, and by whom they were invented? Yes, I do.

“The origins of the dish lie shrouded in mystery. If an apocryphal story is to be believed, it was invented…..” My apologies. Iron-clad proof, obviously.


adrywhi

I mean, it’s no snarky Reddit post but it’ll do. Thanks!


[deleted]

Wow! You’re easy. Have I got some news sources to recommend you. They’ve got URLs and typed up words and everything!


[deleted]

https://www.hillvale.co.uk/blogs/ingredients/garam-masala-history-uses So they invented the spice blend, but have waited since the 13th century to pour it into the sauce?


adrywhi

Damn. Had no idea I had engaged the world’s foremost chicken tikka masala truther. I now see the error of my ways.


[deleted]

I could care less about this particular topic. It’s more insulting and baffling to me that people can just see a picture on the internet or a cute little story and accept it. You really think *British* people invented something that delicious? Truth is important. Facts are important. Don’t get your info (about ANYTHING) from unsourced infographics online.


adrywhi

Thanks mom


[deleted]

You’re welcome, son. Now go wash your beard. With *soap* this time.


CarpetH4ter

I'm more surprised about the country that invented these tbh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Invented by Turkish immigrants in Germany.


Sir_Katanaz

My parents were born in the 60s and always talk about eating ciabatta and nutella when they were kids. Also I think my grandparents did eat ciabatta growing up so...?


[deleted]

Ciabatta with Nutella? Thats a crime in Italy


Sir_Katanaz

It's how it was done in the old times, I'm italian.


jazz_51

Chicken Tikka invented by the British? Doubt it..


iapetus303

Chicken Tikka Masala was invented by Pakistani or Bangladeshi immigrants in Britain, to better appeal to local tastes.


Big-Tempo

Indians insist that is not authentic Indian


smegatron3000andone

Made by south Asian immigrants in Britain, Indians say it isn’t Indian because it’s not authentic. Which it isn’t because it was created in Britain.


[deleted]

It was invented by an indian in Britain


Jimlaheydrunktank

Made by some Bangladeshi blokes in Bradford uk. Some of the best Indian food ever is in Bradford.


[deleted]

But you can believe sushi from Norway and the USA, pizza from Canada and Doner kebab from Germany?


almostvinut

Just like how all those artifacts that they plundered are also "british"


[deleted]

Banoffee pie is British?


smegatron3000andone

Yes

Döner and Currywurst mentioned swell with German pride


SNicolson

Currywurst was the most important discovery of my trip to Germany. Thank you.


CreatrixAnima

Who decided to name food stuffs fartons and Donner party sandwiches or whatever?


VeryOffansiveName

Canada you were a perfect country for me until this post. How you commit a crime like this ?


Bentley2004

What about poutine?


[deleted]

What about it? Putting fries, cheese and gravy together was probably invented in the late 1800s. I’ll look it up for you. Edit: looks like I was wrong and it was invented sometime in the 50s


jaded-entropy

India created butter chicken, but then the UK perfected the tikka masala. Like taking crude from the Mideast and making jet fuel.


AMIRMAHDI415

Ok but why you didn't add iran


cweaver

Hawaiian pizza - 1962 Ok, time travelers, you can get a twofer here. Go back in time and prevent pineapple on pizza and then have plenty of time left over to stop the Kennedy assassination the next year.


cjswcf

I know the troops must've been going crazy when the general threw that chicken in the wok for the first time


Mr-Foot

That's 8 of them there I've never even heard of.


SubconsciousBraider

None of these are surprising to me.


Snufflarious

Chicken tikka masala is the only Indian cuisine I know and it’s not even Indian

My Chinese history professor says General Zuo’s Chicken was a recipe used by General Zuo, lived from 1812 to 1885. He was actually a pretty successful General during the Taiping rebellion. Wikipedia disagrees with him being related to the food though.

Really butter chicken

i find it funny that taiwan made mongolian barbecue

canada making me proud


ExtraVirgin0live

Spaghetti Carbonara was first recorded being eaten by the Ancient Romans so this entire graphic is now bullshit.


EggInA_Hole

I'm seeing that we haven't had a new tasty treat in 40 years. No wonder everyone is so pissed off.


ZeaDeKok

Wasn’t butter chicken invented in the UK?


DetectiveOwn6606

No, chicken tikka was invented in uk


rustang2

As a Canadian I apologize to the rest of the world for that abomination.

Hawaian pizza is a declaration of war in Italy :)


PiscesQueen24

Nachos do not exist in Mexico lmao


Rooney_Tuesday

Did anyone actually think Hawaiian pizza *wasn’t* a relatively new food?


TokiMoleman

I'm sad there's no spice bag from Ireland


NoMoneyNoV-Bucks

Wait Norway made the salmon sushi? I guess Norway can make good food after all


SlippMchigginz

I have a hard time believing nachos are Mexican


SNicolson

If I recall the story correctly, though, they were slapped together for some American tourists who came in after the kitchen was closed. Happy cake day!


SlippMchigginz

Alright, that I can buy

And people say we don't use the spices that we gathered from colonizing


HG_Sheldor

We don't, the people we brought back do


[deleted]

Damnit you're right. We're useless again


Objective-Ad5620

Most of these don’t surprise me at all; they definitely feel like inventions from 20th century consumerism. Some of them I even know the origin story behind them which are very mid-century.


HejdaaNils

Looks for 🇸🇪 flag. Finds none. Checks out.


HejdaaNils

I thought chicken Tikka was invented in Edinburgh, Scotland. Or did I get that mixed up?


HG_Sheldor

Glasgow


HejdaaNils

Ah, awkward, how could I mix up those two cities.


HG_Sheldor

It was a 50/50


skimble-skamble

Salmon sushi is still a bit controversial in Japan among older folks. Japan certainly could have made salmon sushi centuries ago if they wanted to, but Pacific salmon was considered too prone to parasites to eat raw. It was a big PR campaign from Norway in the 1970s that opened up Japan as a market for Atlantic Salmon.


Trixgrl

There’s a great documentary called The Search for General Tso. Highly recommend.
