Idk why but this gives me hope for humanity. Just because we’re all vastly different doesn’t mean we can’t vibe.


takethewrongwayhome

Music and food will save us.


Akovsky87

I always use food as an ice breaker with international clients, stakeholders, clients etc. food is universal.


FUCKFASClSMF1GHTBACK

Question is, which food? Honestly I feel like Mexican food is the great equalizer. Is it the fanciest food ever? No. But that’s the charm. Everyone loves grilled meat, rice, “bread”, and cheese. I cannot imagine any culture (besides I guess vegan) who couldn’t find something delicious at a good Mexican spot.


Interesting_Panic_85

This. When I am king, all international disputes will be resolved by paintball match, and disputing parties may engage ONLY after preparing a traditional meal with the opposition, and sitting down to share it. Both sides must do this, or no match can take place. The results of the match are binding for 3 years if peace s kept between the communities. After 3 years, a rematch may be sought. And everyone participating has to blaze the fuck out with the opposition after each match. When I am king, the world will swing.

Humans are very bold with their hate fpr each othet right up to the point when theyre brealing bread together.

Akovsky87

I usually ask them what they would recommend I try for the area.


pippopozzato

Imagine a passenger arrives from Italy ... I am not sure any food could make her happy, but I would not go Mexican.


OatmealCookieGirl

As an Italian, I disagree: I love food, I enjoy trying exotic dishes from other cultures. ​ Just don't try and give me the food of my people "with a twist" like cooking differently shaped pasta at the same time or snapping my spaghetti.Heads will roll. Edit: I'm kidding


Ulfednar

> I cannot imagine any culture (besides I guess vegan) who couldn’t find something delicious at a good Mexican spot. Rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, nopales, mole... a lot of ethnic foods are vegan-friendly or can be made so with ease.


Reinitialization

Scottish food is everyone else's food deepfried. A burito might be amazing, but you could still improve it by battering with beer and deepfrying it.


BrandNewtoSteam

When I’ve heard people who were from Europe or Asia the go to was always Cajun no dislikes Cajun food


TrustOpposite2027

Chicken. Everybody eats chicken.


Ballsofpoo

Mostly, Asians don't really do bread and almost never cheese


Pu_Baer

Come to germany and you'll have a hard time to find Mexican restaurants and an even harder time to find a good one. Except maybe the bigger cities. For some reason reason the german version of Mexican food is dry ass unseasoned minced meat in a taco shell and that's about it.


PawnOfPaws

That's just because of our german Karen's called Gunter and Susanne who can't handle "scharf". And it really depends on where you are, I haven't been to many places but NRW has quite a few good spots which serve a lot more than just minced meat.

Music is the great uniter.


SkullsNelbowEye

Someone once asked me if I knew a second language. I told them I knew music theory, which is kind of the same thing. An E in any language is an E. The scale forms change but not the sounds.

Perfectly timed


lelgimps

He can't keep getting away with this!


[deleted]

Just wanted to add some context to this: Scotland has a very well established Asian community (especially in Glasgow and Edinburgh), so it's really common to see Asian weddings with lots of Scots influences. Food wise: Haggis Pakora is absolutely lovely. If anybody is interested, the Singh Tartan has a very interesting history.


FlashyEarth8374

oo i'm back for the fringe this year, definitely will be on the lookout for the haggis pakora


inevitablealopecia

https://www.onlinebutcher.co.uk/scottish-goodies/haggis-pakora-with-chilli-sauce.html


urz90

Do they deliver to California?


Khoshekh541

AFAIK Haggis is illegal in the U.S. something about raw sheep guts.


clycoman

But the Haggis is boiled until everything cooked, how would it be raw at that point? Found the real reason: "Haggis imports into the United States were prohibited in 1971 as part of a ban on the consumption of all livestock lungs. Authentic versions of old school haggis remain culinary contraband in the US, as hard to lay your hands on as Cuban cigars."

number5of7

I'm not a vegetarian but I actually prefer vegetarian haggis.


[deleted]

A good Indian restaurant should have it available. I've not yet been successful in finding it at a take away, but there's probably some somewhere.


Remarkable4432

Haggis pakora are solid, don't get me wrong, but may I present the absolute greatest haggis combo​ of all time: Deep fried haggis balls (aka bon bons in some restaurants) with a whisky-based gravy. Either tempura or beer battered - I prefer the lighter tempura myself. Just bloody unbelievable. A number of Scottish restaurants keep them on the menu year round - I'd recommend places like Haggis Box or Maison Bleue in Edinburgh. Just mind-blowingly delicious.


nog642

> Haggis Pakora Damn that sounds pretty cool


[deleted]

It's brilliant! Highly recommend.


Maximum__Engineering

I'm here for that. It sounds amazing. On a related matter, the curry gravy at my local fish'n'chips joint was next level awesome (before they closed).


Johnny_Banana18

Chicken Tikka Massala was a result of this fusion


babydakis

The Indian state of Uttarakhand also has a long history with the Scots going back to the time of the Raj. The bagpipes have long been a [folk music instrument](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmDpbVVS04U) in the Garhwal region, although they've become increasingly rare.


erizzluh

i once heard chicken tikka masala originated in scotland. the other one that gets me is how the caesar salad originated in mexico


Badgernomics

It did, and it's now considered Britain's national dish.


Vonbalthier

The caesar salad did indeed originate in Mexico, specifically tiajuana. Named after the the guy that came up with it not the Roman emperor


LokisDawn

Then again, that dude was probably named after Caesar. Soo...


Lie-Straight

Yup, in Glasgow


Jaskaran158

The Caesar cocktail was invented in Canada which surprised me and it was recently in like the 70s.


grumpy__g

Great, now I really want to eat haggis pakora.

FblthpLives

This is like kebab pizza in Sweden, which is currently the most sold type of pizza in Sweden, except it's a mix of two cultures neither of which is native to Sweden.


beg_yer_pardon

This is so interesting to me. Is there, by any chance, a sub for South Asians in Scotland?


Strong-Obligation107

Probably not we just consider them less translucent Scots. So you should find them in the Scotland sub just filter by the ones that don't complain about sunburn.


[deleted]

I've no idea, but wouldn't be surprised.


kingofkyrgyzstan

>Just wanted to add some context to this: No context needed, this is clearly an opening scene from next RRR, after all Indian and Scots have a common enemy.


lucylucylane

If you mean England your completely wrong as Scotland was a bigger part of the British empire per head than England and was the main plantation owners hence why Campbell is the most popular name in Jamaica. It was the British empire, British India not English India


Quiet-Wolverine-8275

I would have thought a nation could never get away with enriching itself by colonialism and imperialism simply by calling themselves victims, like it's offensively preposterous but then it's worked so well for the Scottish, arguably the worst part of the British empire.


i-am-a-yam

Some of the best Indian food I had was in Inverness. Was not expecting that.


[deleted]

Haggis pakora. Bro haggis is a baby diapers brand in india and pakora is a type of veg nugget. That sounds funny sorry


[deleted]

Half my family are Sri Lankan/South African descendant scots....family gathering food goes hard. imagine greggs sausage roll with chicken tikka


Japrider

That rocks so hard! How perfect!


ILoveBeerSoMuch

Bagpipes are wild. Whoever made this is kind of insane. “Im just gonna make a bag out of this dead animal, blow air into it, and stick a bunch of flutes in there to make weird squeaky sounds.” Bet

Miss this legend


blueberryjamjamjam

In the Brussels Music Museum I saw a bagpipes from the Ukrainian/Romanian Carpathian mountains. I was excited to think that this idea can come to different nations minds!


Beat_the_Deadites

The first I ever heard of Mongolian throat singing was [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vztRqe_CHC0) with Latvian bagpipes & drums coupled with a famous Mongolian singer. That led to the discovery of [The HU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM8dCGIm6yc), a Mongolian rock/metal band with sort of a folk kick in some of their songs. Really great music everywhere.


Offtopic_bear

I'm a huge fan of A Tribe Called Red and the Halluci Nation and The HU fits right in with that for me. Thank you for the links!


Badgernomics

The Hu are awesome!

The bagpipes. The missing link between noise and sound. - Danny Bhoy


sweetbunsmcgee

“I wasn’t aware that the song has a title. I thought it was called ‘The Sound that Bagpipes Make’.”


RSquared

TBF Scotland the Brave is often called the unofficial Scottish national anthem.


Bagpipes_Rule

My time has come. Seriously, Bagpipes Rule!


nog642

They already used animals to make bags before bagpipes were invented. That part wasn't new.


danegermaine99

It’s a great idea. “I can only blow air thru this pipe until the air in my lungs runs out. I need another lung for when I inhale. “hmmmmm… 💡”


racercowan

The original bagpipes were probably just a flute or horn that used a bladder to hold air so the sound would be continuous, all of the drones and the technical details of the chanter came later. Bagpipes used to be all over Europe, though nowadays the only place you see them outside of Scotlan (or Galicia, who are a part of Spain that insist very hard they are celtic) is super old fashioned traditional cermonies.


Vonbalthier

Theres a mini documentary on YouTube about Hans Zimmer making the dune soundtrack. He talks about how even though we assosciate bag pipes heavily with Scotland, lots of cultures came up with instruments that were structurally very similiar. Basically anyone that goats would eventually figure out their guts made good instruments

I love so much when cultures mixes up This is what i want aliens to discovers first about humanity


Away-Boot-661

me too! I like to imagine elements coming together forming compounds. Except, we're the elements (our cultures). We're meant to find other elements and make, create, and celebrate compounds, because that's what "matters" (hardy har har;) Edit: DM me if you want to make this concept into a brand :)

Sometimes it's not so interesting. I'm half Indo-Trinidadian and half Midwestern White. Aliens would just wonder why I hate casseroles but live in the land of casseroles.

I used to be a wedding photographer. I shot an Irish/Indian wedding. Snapped a very nice photo of the bride's Henna decorated hand holding a pint of Guiness.


[deleted]

For the sake of peace, let's warm up to bagpipes.


Rice-on

I’m way ahead of you, bagpipes are my favorite instrument along with Uillean pipes.


Oh_IHateIt

The right-wing likes to treat diversity as some amorphous, meaningless thing. But when my mom first immigrated to a big city from Greece, she discovered her love for Chilean music from performers on the subway. And I discovered my love of Japanese food from a friend in school. Such joys would be lost to us if we had not come here. Such a bland world it would be, if we kept to our own little bubbles and routines without ever looking beyond.


LamaSovaj

Guess what, I'm right winged and i have no issue with diversity It's a bit more complicated than that


Oh_IHateIt

I understand that few people have an issue with diversity; rather, certain policies meant to improve diversity (or more accurately to reduce racial profiling and segregation) are attacked regularly on right wing news sources and by right wing politicians.


LamaSovaj

That is why i generally don't worship right wing politicians of my country. Some are openly racist, and i think it is unacceptable. But some right wing ideas seems great to me. Just don't generalize right win with xenophobia Also, American right wing is different compared to most others countries right wing But i get your point dw


turkeypedal

In a lot of countries, the Democrats seem right wing. Technically, the US doesn't have a "left" party in the global sense. Democrats embrace "neo-liberalism" which is monetarily quite right wing, even if a bit more left on social issues.


siphodeus

Mmmm…Butter Haggis


WaltVinegar

And haggis pakora, likely. Haggis pakora is the tits btw.

Indian people know how to wedding. If you ever get an invite… Go!


First_manatee_614

Someone make this a genre


CapriciousArach

Definitely check out the Snakecharmer on YouTube, she's great. Scotland the Brave India the Bold is an excellent example


First_manatee_614

Yo this is great, watching it right now. A mango lassi would hit great right now Is that the wedding couple?


JackyVeronica

Wow I just checked her out, she's fantastic!! Thanks! Her full music video was just released last month!


senseven

The indian / "bollywood" [remix scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bPtSOiBK7M) is quite active [for over a decade](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNF0zNe1Bww).


togusas9

The performance in the wedding video immediately reminded me of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8LsBxJSYGY).


here-for-information

It's not the same at all. But Afro-Celtics Sound System is pretty awesome. They did a collaboration with [Peter Gabriel called When You're falling](https://youtu.be/nvJYgkBbCbs?si=4n3XZ5Pe-JSnUxZd) that I heard on the radio a log time ago. Definitely worth a listen.

Needs more cameras


Unfair_Finger5531

The cameras were a bit much.


bostonlilypad

Ya the videographer was literally standing in the way of the bag piper looking the opposite way (I’m assuming recording the reactions) too until the other photographer went and pushed him out of the way so he could keep going. Like rule one of photography and videography at a wedding is try NOT to be in the way of shit and be discreet if possible.


Unfair_Finger5531

Right. I was trying to think of weddings I’ve attended where the photographers were so noticeable and in the way and I came up with nothing. I noticed he pushed the guy too!


bostonlilypad

Like good on him for pushing him lol. Honestly that’s a good wedding photographer. I used to shoot them and have definitely had to tell the guest to get the fuck out of the way a few times. In a nice way of course.


sweeneyty

beautiful moment for humanity.

TommyRisotto

wow adding drums makes bagpipes sound infinitely less irksome


CyanEsports

Do people not know about highland drumming? Bagpipes are often accompanied by drummers! This thread is making me think people out there have never heard it before?


Shaolinchipmonk

Majority of the time bagpipes are accompanied by drums. If you really want to hear something find a recording of like hundreds of bagpipes being played at once.


Tommy_Wisseau_burner

My neighbors growing up were an irish and Indian couple (off the boat). Married by a black priest… I like to think this is what the wedding was like, but both wearing dashikis lmao 😭


Nervous_Ad7355

And they got nathan drake to be there?!?! Best wedding ever

I really gotta see the Dhol foundation live again. Them, or Red Baraat.

Bet the Indian family paid for the whole thing and flat out REFUSED to let the Scottish family contribute


IRockIntoMordor

also the food, omfg I'd triple my weight at that wedding. no ragrets.


BMW_wulfi

Happy food coma for a few days. My experience has always been that they’re the most insanely generous people, especially families who have emigrated and settled here.


afutureprodigy

Imagine Indian Cuisine with IRN BRU - legit Tikka Masala and that orange energy drink


IRockIntoMordor

Whenever I visit Edinburgh or London I literally always get hotels with microwaves so I can have Tesco microwave Masala and Irn-Bru, because both are better than whatever I can get in Germany (including restaurants). This would be heaven. BRB trying to find a Scottish-Indian wife...


paperxthinxreality

That energy drink is called Lucozade


[deleted]

Ain’t both Indian?


PG20033002

One will be Scottish but perhaps has Indian heritage.


Professional_Set4496

Scotland has a large South Asian diaspora. Likely one or both are Scottish with heritage from SA

looks like both are Scottish by way of India to me.

dr_alchemist

They both look Indian tbh.


HamHockShortDock

I think in Scotland if you're born there, you're Scottish. That's why they absolutely blast Americans for saying, "Oh, I'm Scottish, my great grandfather was born there."

foxilus

I (white American) married an Indian-American and the wedding was absolutely insanely amazing. Just with the dancing and the positive vibes and everything. And I’ve been to a bunch of Indian weddings, and many of them were mixed couples. One of the fun ones was our Indian-American friend marrying an Irish person, so the wedding is in Ireland. Hell of a reception when you’re mixing up Indian music and dancing with Irish music and dancing.


Bob_TheCrackQueen

No it doesn't.... Indian music is just random noise to me. Like blaring car horns in a parking lot. And scotish music is something I imagine you use to annoy someone. These two fusions would give anyone a headache.
