Is British Food Really Bland? An Indian Host vs A British Local Ft. Lettie Millar | Season 3 Ep.1
Episode 1
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026
Hello people,In today’s Menu, we’ve got a hot and fresh serving of British food, culture and history seen through two very different plates: an Indian host who grew up on rich regional cuisine, and Lettie, a British guest raised between countryside pasties and Brighton’s colourful food scene.We get into everything from Shepherd’s Pie, beans on toast and “Toad in the Hole” to Indian comfort food like dal-chawal and Poha, why British food gets called bland.We also dive into tea culture, how India became a tea‑drinking country, Ceylon tea, Chai vs English brews and some honest talk about colonial history, spice routes and salt taxes that still echo in how we eat now.It’s a fun, honest, slightly spicy (but never mean) conversation about food, class, comfort, health and how migration has changed what ends up on the plate in the UK. Disclaimer: Anywhere, anything in the conversation, dosen't target any community or a particular group of people, as it is meant for information, education and humour purposes only. Also, me saying 'You' at many stances, only refers to the group of brits that colonised and left India and no where refers to Lettie or the current lovely people of the Britain, who have been nothing but mostly a delight!Enjoy the stories, pick the bits you like and we hope you take away a few new perspectives on British and Indian cuisine.Follow @in_today_s_menu_ on Instagram for updates.Enjoy the episodes and the learnings in it.Credits:Editors - Abhishek Sharma & Siddhiraj KulkarniMusic - Sumedh Ghodke
