What does a true Brit bite?

By Vidya Venkat Those rallying for British nationalism and a concomitant Brexit are forgetting that 'British culture' today is a nebulous idea. If people are what they eat, then there could be nothing uniquely ‘British’ about the Brits. When the news of the Brexit vote started coming in on Friday, June 24, my mind instantly went back to an ethnographic study of the popular UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s, which I had done five years ago as a student of anthropology in London. Source: Wikipedia Bronisław Malinowski, a 20th-Century anthropologist, argued that culture functioned to meet the needs of individuals rather than society as a whole.
