    That may be so, but curry isn’t exactly a real British dish. It’s Indian food.

      Careful, that’s like saying that the guy who made it, who was born in the UK isn’t really British either.

      Pretty much all food is imported.

      As someone else mentioned. The Tikka Masala was invented in Britain.

      Italian pizza, the most Italian of dishes, didn’t exist until America was ‘discovered’ and tomatoes brought back from the new world.

      Same with the Irish and potatoes.

      We are talking about importing spices to use them in the country. It doesn’t even matter where the cook is from. Even the most Indian guy can’t prepare an Indian meal without the ingredients

      Most curries you can get in the UK were invented there.

      As a quick rule of thumb, if it looks like it has gravy or thick sauce someone from India wouldn’t recognise it
