IMO, America's take on anything,....erm...not American, is trash. When I was in Kuwait I had some real curry and I loved it! I had some when I came back stateside and it was for shit.
As for mince pies? I have never had one, but I make a point for myself to be "cultural" and I would love to try one. They are meat pies, yes?

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
