Mildly Spiced Kebab: Enemy of The British Chippy

Just when we thought Brexit would rid us of all our problems, those pesky foreign influences persist in mild, well-seasoned forms. A new threat is on the horizon, as penetrating and insidious as a near-invisible, garlic-infused aroma wafting through the night; seeking to obliterate our well-loved British Chip Shop culture. Yes, folks, this enemy is the mildly spiced kebab!

Eroding Our Precious Culinary Heritage

Everyone knows that the quintessential British diet is composed exclusively of toast, Digestive biscuits, and good old watery brownish brew. We obviously never stray from these foods that have kept us hearty and hale through years of soggy weather and incessantly stoic silences. But alas! The mild, enticing spices of the kebab intrude upon our taste buds’ comfortable ennui, threatening to forever contaminate our appreciation for slightly stale, three-day-old bread and chips slathered with more grease than a mechanic’s toolbox.

The Shish in our Armour: A Kebab Invasion

Recent statistics reveal a horrifying reality – a whopping 2.2% increase in kebab shops on our sacred British streets! The trend proves that the enemy is truly here – on our quaint, pot-hole ridden streets. These savoury, juicy skewers of disappointment have begun to weave their alluring odours around our proud, distinctly unseasoned heritage.

The Case Against the Infamous Doner

• They employ foreign words: Doner, shawarma, kofta… Undoubtedly, pretty words meant to tempt us away from our noble chips and fish wrapped up in yesterday’s tabloids. Instead, the typical British linguist prefers to grapple with the tricky pronunciation of local favourites like Worcestershire and Leominster.
• They disrespect the sanctity of the humble bread: Wrapping grilled meat and fresh vegetables into a warm bread, replacing our sacred sarnie with its unheard of ‘lettuce’ and ‘tomatoes’. Next thing we know, they’ll be suggesting we exchange our beloved chip butties with falafel wraps!
• Exotic, foreign sauces: What’s wrong with our beloved dollop of ketchup and a dab of soggy mayo? Yet, these foreign invaders bring strange, tantalising sauces like Tahini, Tzatziki, and Harissa. We may struggle to pronounce them, but we certainly can’t resist their beguiling flavours.

Call to Action: Protect our Chips!

It’s clear that these delectably marinated skewers of meat are nothing more than Trojan horses, cleverly hiding an insidious agenda under their fiery chilli sauce. We, the red-blooded, chip-loving Britons, need to stand our ground and protect our Sacrosanct Chip Shops.

So, fire up your frying pans and dunk your chips in an extra vat of oil, for the future of British culinary culture hangs in the balance. Remember, it’s our patriotic duty to keep our British High Streets blandly delicious, one fried potato at a time. Let’s preserve the soggy piece of cod in our hearts and show that chip-loving, mildly spice-adverse Brits know a bad kebab when they see one!
