I guess the tiramisu involves British cream.

The descriptions are clearly not to be taken seriously : just the new interns having some fun amongst themselves in the office as they write the menus 😁
Chicken tikka masala is at least a British ‘favourite’, even a national dish of sorts. Tiramisu is really not, any more than creme brûlée is. Both are popular desserts but you definitely wouldn’t describe them as British.
