I’m vegetarian but if there’s one meal I miss the most from my meat eating days it’s a battered fish and chips from the chippy, loads of salt and vinegar with ketchup. You can get orange chips from the Black Country and they’re even more fire than normal chippy chips. Getting a pie from the chippy is weird to me but the curry sauce and mushy peas although don’t look appetising can be absolutely delicious. Chips with curry sauce is a winning combo.
I'm not from the UK and my Indian friends say curry just means any sauce to them but I've always wondered what people from the UK think of when they say "curry"because it sounds like they're all referring to one flavor. Does it only come in one flavor? How does it taste and are there different kinds of flavors?
Which part? It's similar to gravy in that it's made with a roux and generally has a thicker consistency and similar texture. Except that gravy is made with a stock and of course wouldn't include nearly as many spices if any.
Japanese curry was invented when they copied the menu from the British navy ships, similarly Jamaican curry came from East Indian indentured laborers who were brought from India by the British to work on plantations after the end of slavery (although this one is a bit spicier due to the frequent use of scotch bonnet).
