But "european curry culture" is/was a sad story, especially here in the north.
(but is getting better with more recent, actual expert immigrants)

I am told that the most popular English food is "curry" :-)

(On Topic... eventually)

Of course one of my favorite side dishes is Bombay Duck. The EEC banned it here. Friends would ask me what "Bombay Duck" was, usually in a restaurant and before the dish arrived. I would go though the whole story about fish living in the most polluted water in the world (just off Bombay) eating all sorts of crapola (including partially cremated human body parts), caught and dried flyblown in the searing tropical heat on the dockside. The dish would arrive, and the pungent smell would reinforce the story told. Always gets a reaction -g-

So Bombay duck was banned by the b**st*rd bureaucrats in Belgium.

We stiff upper lip Brits took this blow to our well being in our stride along with the many other deliberately inflicted wounds by the EEC.

But not even the EEC can keep the Brits down. Another sweet victory, on top of the 20yr battle over the definition of Chocolate -g-
