I was not looking down on , I said it's what I prefer. My wife likes bland, I had a hard time until recently since she would not indulge in Indian or some other ethnic food, but my son and dil take my granddaughter (3 now) to Himalayan, so she started going. When I mentioned it's very much like Indian, my wife and son were like really. We went Indian the other day. I am happy I now have family to go with me. For years it was friends , co workers or alone.
I honestly wasn't saying you were, quite the reverse.
Just when I was out, they pulled me back in . . .
Canadian bacon being compared to pork roll?
Echtually, until very recently most "Indian Food" was developed for the Anglo-Saxons living in the Northern Regions of @SouthernChap 's island nation.
Not really. I ate with the Indians at work when I was at Verizon... I was the only American on my team, everyone else was Indian. They brought food in every Wed night. They would start work late like 10 or 11, but I was in at 8. They worked late, but a few times I had to be there on Wed, and when I saw the feast they would bring in, I was in. You are going to Anglo Indian, I was going to and getting Indian that was made like it was in the various regions. Each of their regions had different types of food, the same as here in the US. There were many Indian restaurants to choose from and they served mostly to their own in some of them. Many vegetarian dishes that were spicy, some restaurants had chicken and other meats, not beef. Cows are sacred. My sister turned me on to Indian in the early 80s when she lived in Manhattan. Since I always liked spicy food (my dad got me into that), I was sold.
My wife gets Tikka in a box thats pretty good.
Unfortunately, until recently here in South Central PA, "Anglo-Indian" was all that was available (and outside of some London, UK establishments, that was what was also available there). It's kind of like the English Breakfast: virtually every hotel I ever stayed in during my international travels had the same breakfast menu (including Rome, Friedrichshafen, Tokyo & Guayaquil)
Yep, Wembley is a hotspot for that (particularly Gujarati cuisine; a lot of Ugandan Indians settled there).
