Crazy about curry!

People in the UK love food.
As well as1 their own traditional
dishes like fish and chips and
roast beef, the British also enjoy
food from all around the globe:
Italian pasta, Spanish tapas,
Chinese stir-fry2 and Japanese
sushi are all very popular. But
one dish3 really is the nation’s
favourite: the Indian curry.

What is curry?
Curry isn’t just one dish, and it
isn’t only Indian. In fact, when the
British talk about ‘Indian curry’,
they are referring to the hundreds
of different dishes from India,
Bangladesh and Pakistan. All
curries have meat or vegetables
in a spicy sauce4, and there is an
enormous variety. Their exotic
names – Jalfrezi, Madras, Rogan
Josh – are now household
names5 in the UK. Some curries,
like Korma, have yoghurt in them
and are quite mild6. Others, like
Vindaloo, are extremely hot7 and
lots of people find them almost
impossible to eat!
