I dont think we were very multi-cultural during the days of the Raj mate,it was my way or the highway,I read of terrible atrocities commited over there back when we had an empire,still at least we discovered curry Oh,and we nicked the Koh-i-noor
Well.. True.. My point being how one culture impacted another to provide a positive result.
A better example would be deep pan Pizza Not quite Italian, not quite American.. But a mix of both!
