I mean, the United States has, to be fair, developed a food culture that emphasizes using a lot of meat, especially over the past century or so. It's not surprising that people from an area that eats so much meat, who go vegan, are going to want to look for ways to still make dishes familiar to them
If its any indication into other factors, every time I try to make butter chicken it ends up tasting like a British persons home made curry recipe so there's that. Jokes aside as someone who likes cooking, a lot of traditional recipes, of any culture are simply much more labor intensive than slapping a bean patty on a pan then furnishing it. I'd wager the pace of a lot of western lifestyles, the choice gets weighted quickly.
What does a British person's home made curry taste like? I'm curious.
Depends on if they're capitol E English or not, then I'd imagine you'd probably have South Asian and Jamaican styles being dominant. I was referring to the englishmans home cooked take on it. If you want the story, years ago I was in Australia and my neighbors there were UK English, I don't know how to describe it other than it tasted like my early attempts at traditional recipes. If it helps I remember "Man I did all that and mine still just tastes like someone used a strange ramen flavoring packet." So that's probably how I'd describe it.
