Halal Kebabs Threaten the Essence of Britishness!

Right, alright, brace yourselves. It’s literally high pork-steak, fish n’ chips-burning, warm-beer-swilling, undiluted horror now. The kebab, that insidious, convivial import from the east, is invading our glorious homeland faster than Boris Johnson changes his haircut. The ubiquity of this cuisine, clearly designed to undermine the “British way of life”, is getting so outrageous, that, frankly, the next Shakespeare might be conceived in a kebab shop. Horrendous or what?

The Ominous Onslaught of the Ottomans

Round every corner, up every High Street, there’s one, isn’t there?! A glowing neon sign: “Kebab Shop”. That epithet haunts us more than the specter stirring the salad bar at my local ‘Spoons. It’s becoming increasingly impossible to remain blissfully ignorant amidst this trend as halal kebabs infiltrate our kingdom of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

These hellishly spicy parcels of ‘questionable’ meat, festooned with alien vegetables and dripping in a suspiciously pink sauce, are not just weaning our youngsters from their traditional diets of battered cod and semi-cold chips, but they are also, according to reliable sources (I mean Trevor down my local, whose cousin’s girlfriend’s stepdad once dated a woman who worked for MI5), strategically placed to slowly and subtly brainwash our plucky Brits into adopting Eastern rituals. Soon enough, we might even start drinking tea without milk or indulging in the sheer madness of using spices instead of salt. Blimey!

Ticking Time-Bomba: The Falafel Threat

A branch off the kebab conspiracy, the falafel – it’s basically a vegetarian meatball, but not in a good, honest Scotch egg way – is subverting our traditional British eating habits. Can you imagine swapping bacon baps for chickpea patties? The audacity! Quinoa isn’t just going to pour itself into our mouths, it’s being shot in like a storming Norman arrow.

Alien Invasion: The Naan Offence

And what about the naan bread? Furry, warm and slightly intimidating. A crafty doppelgänger to our humble, utterly British bread roll. It’s definitely an alien ploy, isn’t it? Wrap up your British values in it, stuff your mouth full, and there you go, the ability to grumble and moan about the weather is muffled into oblivity. Tragic!

Our Actions, Their Reaction!

So, what can we, the rightful guardians of Britain’s hardy roast potatoes and watery cabbage, do about this escalating situation?

• Boycott the kebab shops (and simultaneously give our hard-pressed NHS a much-deserved break from treating our self-induced nutritional disasters).
• Trade in all foreign condiments for catering-sized tubs of Bisto and Heinz Tomato Ketchup – classics, they never disappoint!
• Start a campaign to name and shame all salad-eaters. Can’t trust them, of course.

Our nation wasn’t built on falafels and kebabs. Our heroes didn’t fight for coronation chicken. They were hearty meat-and-potato men. The echoes of “God Save The Queen” weren’t accompanied by the sizzle of a kebab spit – and we’ll be darned if we let it be any different!

So rise, up brethren! Grab your meat pies, your steak bakes, your sausage rolls. Let us stand tall with our fish and chips and reclaim the traditional British palate!
