It's basically chip shop curry sauce, we serve it with battered sausages, chips, curry pies etc or as an alternative to gravy on request.

Cultural appropriation at its most heinous, a British invention in India taken to the USA by some immigrant wobblies and then the Mercans seeding the Japs with it post WWII - you literally cannot make this up.

Who created Japanese curry?

After importing curry from India, the Europeans invented curry powder so that the layman could cook curry without having to master the intricacies about spices. This form of curry was introduced to Japan during the Meji Period (1868-1912), from which the Japanese adapted the dish to suit their tastes.Oct 23, 2564 BE

Curry was introduced to Japan during the Meiji era (1868–1912). At the time the Indian subcontinent was under British colonial rule. Anglo-Indian officers of the Royal Navy brought the spice mix called curry powder to Japan. It was classified as yōshoku (western food) since it came from the west.

**malmomike77** · 08-02-2022, 09:19 PM

Look, the East India Company exported Curry, there is no such thing as "Curry" in India its a British invention.

**Topper** · 08-02-2022, 09:25 PM

I think its called Vermont because of the apples, but I've never tasted anything resembling apple in the curry.

**malmomike77** · 08-02-2022, 09:27 PM

^ you've never had a British school diner curry, they shoved apples and sultanas in with a side sambal of sliced bananas

I don't think there is such thing as curry anywhere. As far as I know, curry is a term describing a Sause made from Indian spices and there are many different types of curries (is that the correct plural for curry?)
Dhansak., Saag. Korma,Jalfrezi,Vindaloo. (I google it LOL )
Some of those have been modified in different countries to fit the local pallet, such as the Tikka Masala in the UK, and it seems to me that the Japanize curry must be a case of the same.
In Thailand I see yellow curry, green curry , etc.
At least that's my understanding on the subject.

It's a shame I had to trade growing up poor, living in a trailer park for that. Who know how I might have turned out if I'd had the opportunity to be born British?

**malmomike77** · 08-02-2022, 10:14 PM

^ we have trailer parks too, usually owned and run by pikeys so you may not have grown up at all

Nobody does cultural appropriation like you island monkeys. Your national breakfast dish is American baked beans, and you lot absurdly claim you invented curry. Utterly laughable.

The original curry pre-dates Europeans' presence in India by about 4,000 years. The three basic ingredients of the spicy stew were ginger, garlic and turmeric. Using a method called "starch grain analysis", archaeologists at the University of Washington at Vancouver were able to identify the residue of these ancient spices in both skeletons and pottery shards from excavations in India. Examining the human teeth and the residue from the cooking pots, signs of turmeric and ginger were evident.

Furthermore...

The British lumped all sauce-based dishes under the generic name 'curry'. It was introduced to English cuisine from Anglo-Indian cooking in the 17th century, as spicy sauces were added to plain boiled and cooked meats. Curry was first served in coffee houses in Britain from 1809, and has been increasingly popular in Great Britain, with major jumps in the 1940s and the 1970s.

You mention cultural appropriation?

A cultured and educated response.

**cyrille** · 09-02-2022, 10:53 AM

Don't mind malmomike - he's on some planet he shares with switch.

**dirk diggler** · 09-02-2022, 10:55 AM

The claim was that they brought it to Japan.

**malmomike77** · 09-02-2022, 11:24 AM

Curry is not recognised in India outside the tourist haunts, its a generic term us Brits invented for wobbly cuisine. I stand by my asertion.

**Reg Dingle** · 09-02-2022, 08:21 PM

Got back from work and she's not only made cottage pie, she absolutely nailed it.

Seconds? Be rude not to.

**Mendip** · 09-02-2022, 08:30 PM

^ With peas as well, nice one!

Good to see you're eating with troosers on now.

Small mercies

Stepping away from the obvious ignorance of most posters here on the origins of Curry, i had a weak moment last night and couldn't resist a 2 for 1 on a spicy pizza inc fresh green chilis and a chilis sauce base - she asked how hot and i said very, she lived up to expectations. The second was seafood one with prawns, tuna and anchovies and i only realised when i opened it back home that she'd left off the black olives - oh well. Not brilliant but did the trick.
