Where we think tikka masala is from: Bangladesh.
Where tikka masala is really from: UK (Glasgow).
It looks like Western Asia and Scotland might have some sort of trade agreement when it comes to food origin misconceptions.
Chicken tikka definitely originated in the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal Empire, becoming popular around the 1600s, which is well-documented. But tikka masala is a different story. Where tikka is usually a dry dish of spice-marinated meat that’s cooked over coals, tikka masala is saucy, rich, and creamy. In the 1970s, an Indian chef was working in Glasgow, and it was there he developed the dish that Westerners have come to consider a solid Indian/Bangladeshi treat.

#9 Eating fish wasn't invented in Portugal and I'm quite sure they didn't eat it with chips in 800 AD.

Wilfred,
what part you didn't understand ?
1 - "Portugal bought a centuries-old Andalusian dish called peshkado frito to the UK in the 1400s"
and .......................................
2 - "when the potato became popular in the 1800s, they made the perfect accompaniment"
and ......................................
3 - "Now you know where “fish and chip Friday” comes from!"

It'd be nice to include sources to support these points. A summary Google search of "origins of churros" does not highlight any ties to China...

Actually, a quick Google search for "origins of churros" turns up the following link about the 4th entry down, and does mention China.

#2 I'll call BS on shaking cream in freezing temperatures makes ice cream, it would only get you cold butter.
But I do see where you got the idea, "Iced Cream". Why would anyone be out in freezing weather with a bag of Cream unless the churn hadn't been invented yet.

#8 Swedish meatballs: For the meat part usually just ground beef. Perhaps mixed with pork sometimes but never only pork.

#3 i would say that croissant originates from the victory of Hungarians against the ottoman empire (the only empire that contributed with nothing to the world) that is why it has the half moon shape.
