That’s not really a joke though? There are lots of curries that were invented in the UK and the British are actually the ones that introduced curry to most of the world and the curries you get pretty much anywhere outside of South Asia are British curries or based on British curries.
To be honest, pizza in its best known iteration originally was from Naples and parts South. When Italian-American GI’s (most were descended from immigrants from Southern Italy where they had pizza) were helping to rid Italy of Nazi’s during WWII, they were aghast that places North of Naples didn’t have pizza. These formerly pizza-free zones then started making pizza to sell to the GI’s and thus to this day you can find pizza even in places as North as around Lake Como. So pizza is more American in Northern Italy than it is Italian.
I remember John Oliver jokingly said on Steven Cobert that his favorite British food is a good curry.
That’s what Padme wants in this image macro though
Brit’s do pies though, anything in a pie then it’s British. A curry pie then there you go

Tikka Masala is a British dish.
It is the colonialism you see.
You think that’s bad, wait until you hear Americans trying to claim apple pie or pizza.

I mean, not being that popular in the place it was invented doesn’t mean Americans can claim to have invented it which is the subject at hand.
Italian pizza is pretty different than American.
British curries are very different to Indian ones. Far more different than “more cheese and bread”, like American style pizza.
