Anglo-Indian cuisine is a product of the British colonization of India and the fusion of British and Indian culinary traditions. This unique blending of flavors and techniques creates a cuisine that is both savory and flavorful, while remaining distinct from traditional Indian or British dishes.

Americans visited the UK during WW2's rationing and never updated their stereotypes.

I am amused by the fact that the word "distinct" sounds similar to "Dis stink!"

If it's curry it's Indian, just like American Chinese takeout is American but still Chinese and Pizza is American but still Italian. The flavors derived from those specific cultures to spice up the bland food people were used to. Tea was mostly a Chinese tradition and the Indians stole it to trade with Britain, because it was cheaper.

True, but I would argue that American Chinese food is a distinct cuisine in its own right, just as Anglo-Indian is.

If the argument is that the British Empire didn't incorporate seasonings and spices into its own traditional cuisine, then I'd argue that none of the European powers did. French cuisine is still undeniably French and spice-less, despite their colonialist history in Africa and the Caribbean.
