M&S accused of cultural appropriation over its new vegan sweet potato biryani wrap

"the retailer is taking advantage of Indian food to make money while not providing an authentic and traditional meal."

ABSOULTELY CORRECT - I will have trouble sleeping tonight.  Will they be jailed?

what are they going to do about all these people flogging so called 'curries'  or 'chinese' in restaurants when they bear little or no resemblence to the originals and what one eats in said countries where they originate from. 

Ps  anyone had a 'Buck Mei  - not sure of the spelling there  - it is a kind of soup made up of leftovers - used to get it for a singapore dollar a very long time ago.

Unfortunately a lot of "journalism" now is useless d1cks in an office sitting with a coffee surfing the internet for outrage from professional victims. I'm as sick of it as you.

Welcome to the land of 24 hour news, short attention spans, and clickbait.

Never mind the fact this d1ckhead seems to think M&S can't sell the food it wants, of course you can get vegatable biryanis, india is FULL of vegetarians (duh) and it's a dish mixed with rice. I've worked with Indian guys and most of them were vegetarian. I like Indian food and I've seen countless veg biryani's on menus.
Oxford Dictionary:

"An Indian dish made with highly seasoned rice and meat, fish, or vegetables."

This story is a bit worrying, was below your one. I sometimes eat iffy old food...:

I suppose the smell test is the important thing.

Not sure of buck mei, Mo but I was a regular at the hawker stalls out there in the 70s.  Amazing food at amazing prices!

Rice is notorious for attracting bacteria JC.  I guess similarly with pasta.  Terrible painful way to die

non non  JC   you simply must get with the programme - cultural appropriation deniers like you will be put in the same catagory as holocaust deniers, racists and brexiteers.

I take it these people looking to be offended don't eat KFC when not in Kentucky then?

it was a soup made up of left overs - you know,  the watery style if I can call it that.

'prawn banj'  long bap, roll baguette thingy  stuffed with egg onion spices and prawns.   A sort of prawn foo yung.

council estate boy meets eastern culture  ho ho

sorry   PRAWN BANJO

Did you eat roti prata?

Fookin marvellous stuff and cost cents!

I'd have thought pasta (unless in a meat sauce) would be ok. I've certainly eaten old pasta before, I'll think twice now.

I think the problem with that guy from what I skimmed from article is not that the bacteria wasn't killed when he microwaved it (which is what I'd worry about normally) but that it had decay cause creation of chemicals that killed him, which no amount of cooking will help. Definitely something to ponder.

No but I guzzle all sorts of stuff like that which is so bad for me
Having lived with malay muslims, sri lankan bhuddists, ozzie chatholic girlfriend etcetc  my food taste is so broad and why I got such a fat erse (once ) haha

there is a dreadful nepalise sweetish bread which I cannot leave alone - peshwari naan like bread  - coconut  - sweet spices etc etc -  think it is a common one across the cultures -    no good for me at all

catholic   oh that's me condemned   - chatholic - I have invented a new religion

Oh I don't like peshwairi naan at all. I like garlic or cheese. Not sure how authentic cheese nan is but I like it!

does it matter as long as it is fun and won't kill you but might do eventually if you eat too much ha ha

why are most of the nice things so very bad for you  - supposedly??

chatholic girlfriend I assumed she talked a lot

He asked her to shut up, she had Nun of that!

i know i know  haha  i did correct but am proud of inventing the new word 

sea I am miles a head of use lot on hear. 

but was she a goer nudge nudge  - Swan lager and all that

in some bars she wasn't allowed in - men only - I am not joking  but this was 45 years ago

pool to crush the foxy upstarts one hopes!!??

I thought they might be a big dodgy with the slippery surface - but they slipped that one in quick

foxes getting hunted
