Q: Seriously, I've had it only a few times and it's gross...why the big obsession?
A: This thread is full of arrogance ignorance racial-hatred, and bigotry. At first I was going to ignore but then I decided to make a few passing comments 1. British entered India in 1640 to trade spice under the order of the queen 2. British married local woman, wore local clothes, ate local foods till 1856. They had little choice. British woman were not allowed to enter India till 1856 3. British would rule India till 1947. From 1856 to 1947 British did not socialize with Indian at the same level. The British women looked down upon Indians as their servant only. But British really liked the food. They are the one who created the first 'curry powder'. 4. After 1956 Indians started to come to UK and settle there. These restaurants became an oasis for returning British. 5. India was the largest British colony. British have only two close allies in the world India and USA. 6. British invented Worcestershire sauce based on Indian Chutney from Bengal. The last invention is Chicken Tikka Masala. The Indian and British history goes back over 4 centuries. The least people in this thread can do is have a civil discussion
