12 Brrrrrread Rrrrrrolls! Now!

Hi guys,

today we studied the video below made by British Indian comedians to make fun of the way English people behave in Indian restaurants in Britain.

You can watch it again below:

Here are the notes we took on the board (copy them down in your copybooks):

savoury / sweet

spicy / bland

Meat: chicken, beef, pork (galmon steak), sausages, sheep stomach, ...

Vegetables: leek, tomatoes, carrot, egg plant, peas, cabbage, lentils, lettuce, ...

Starchy foods: mashed potatoes, baked beans, chips, ...

Fish: eel, scampi / prawn, ...

Fruit: pineapple, berries, ...

Dairy products: butter, cream, ...

Spices: curry, ...

Behaviour of the customers at the restaurant:

They don't respect the waiter (they touch his buttocks, they call him Jame-ass, they make fun of him, ...). They are disrespectful and even racist (they make jokes about the waiter's skin colour, they talk about the size of his penis, ...)

They don't know what they are ordering (they order too much food [24 plates of chips], they say they want scampi and prawn cocktail which is the same thing, they are exited over bread and butter, ...)

They emphasize their Indian accent (rolled "r" and pronunciation mistakes [steak and kidney pie, for instance], ...).

They are extremely rude (they burp, they are already drunk and sleeping, they ask for things to be left aside [they call it "crap"], they talk about going to the toilet, they want to have a competition to see who can have the "blandest thing on the menu", they get angry even if the waiter is very well-behaved...)

-> This is a very funny parody of British people going for an Indian except that here everything is reversed / turned upside down; the tables are turned.
