    Muslim Curry ,british? LOL
    I wonder , such religious curry,, would it have to pray to Mecca . and does one have to convert to eat it, or do you get special dispensation from The Anglican church?

    It does look good though.

    They actually sell a 40 chicken nugget box at McDonald's in America, the largest in the UK is 20.

    I think the most I've ever eaten in one sitting for a bet was 15.

    FFS!

    I saw some nabob from northern India decrying curry as a British invention on a TV cooking show, much to the detriment (he reckoned) of glorious traditional Indian cuisine. Apparently, there is no such thing as curry in traditional Indian cooking- the closest term is "Kari" which merely refers to wok cooked in Bombay cuisine. A spicy dish in Indian cooking might be generically referred to as masala, which means (wait for it) spice.

    So wash that madras down with a nice pint o' bitter!

    Aside from British "Muslim" curry, some of my other favorite British foods are British Gyros, and British Pizza.
    Ohh and the British General Tso's Chicken is delish.

    Well nothing spells 'American' like moms apple pie (ahem, the apple is native to UK and northern France, and pies were being made long before America was colonised).
    My mum insists on a 'traditional' English Christmas dinner, even on a sweltering hot Xmas day down unda- being turkey! Nonsense- the turkey is from Nth America.
    General Tso's chook is an American Chinese thing really- nobody seems to know much about it in China. Poms & aussies copied it off amerka, not China.

    I think anglo food is like the English language- we can beg, borrow & steal from anyone we want, and after a while call it our own. Fuck tradition, and authenticity- the food we eat evolves, just like our language does!

    You guys are not only screwing the Indians , muslims and Chinamen. Well that makes it much better.

    So I don't feel all alone

    To be fair, there's not many places still open at 1:20am for Chitty to satisfy his oil laden food cravings. And you've seen his cooking!

    You have a point.
    Unfortunately I have. and what's worst , when seen it cannot be unseen.
    Compared to his cooking Mikey D's cooking is a culinary delight .

    ^haha!

    I don't think the beer thing is British either, Hal. I know beer is a big thing here in Canada too!
    Food does look good though. I was wondering what all of the spices were? I see cardamom there.

    Well, I cooked it and, to be honest, I think it looks fucking terrible! But it's a curry: they look (quite literally) like shit, but taste tremendous.

    I can't remember all of the spices, but cardamom was indeed there. She says most of them in English in the YouTube clip (although I may have just chucked cardamom in anyway ).

    I might make this a regular series for TD. Cooking with hal- with a British twist.

    Next week: carbonara with baked beans.

    The only thing I remember being truly British was Fish and Chips and Bangers and Mash.
    And British Ale of course.

    I bet the curry tasted delish! Cardomom is sooo good in a curry. I had curry in Sri Lanka and it was the best curry I've ever had.

    I really liked the Lankan curries too. As I recall, they used a lot more coriander than mainland style curries.
