  Can you think of anything that belongs to other countries, but have in a sense been hijacked and become part of British culture...

  A couple of loose example might be...
  Lambretta/Vespa: Italian, but because of it's place in UK popular culture (Mods) it can be seen as a kind of symbol of British-ness

  The Balti: A Pakistani food, associated with England (Birmingham etc)

  Any more things

  Cricket?

  • Britain invented Cricket– ADP1/5

    oh, I thought it was India? Maybe I got it confused with Snooker, that was invented in India?– scribbler2/5

    I'd be willing to be bet that Britain invented snooker too– ADP3/5

    It was invented by a Britain but in India. So does that make it British? I guess maybe it does. Part of the Colony at the time I guess so technically. OK I'll give up, no more sport guesses.– scribbler4/5

    guess. OK I'll give up. no more random sports.– scribbler5/5

  Champagne wouldn't exist without us plucky brits though. We invented the super strength bottle that made it all possible. Before that, Johnny Frenchman was glugging flat champagne out of paper bags and hating every minute of it.
