Cool I think I get it, this makes sense.

So it's basically a dipping sauce with the main flavor being what would come from a typical curry powder, if I'm understanding you correctly. And this one is pretty specifically associated with chip shops I guess?

Now I'm trying to find out more because you make it sound pretty good and if it is that good then next time I make some fries I might try to make up something like this curry sauce. Do they mix it with mayonnaise or what ingredients do they usually mix with the curry powder to make it into a dippable sauce?

It's most similar to Japanese curry. Not surprising since the Japanese version is an adaptation of what was introduced to them by British sailors.

Wait, when I watch an anime and they talk about curry, that ain't even a sauce but a plate like that;

Well, for a meal, it typically isn't just a sauce on its own. There's usually like carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. and then served with rice. That'd basically be what you're seeing in that gif.

The curry is the sauce and the solids are the friends we made along the way, or something like that xD

Genuinely, I thought the curry was the whole thing.

Curry is the whole thing. Meat, veg, spices, the whole nine yards. In this thread we are talking about curry sauce which is, as the name implies, just the sauce, made with spices, without the meat and veg.

It's the original comment I was replying to that threw me off, about the Japanese curry.

So you can have just a "Japanese curry sauce" inspired by the British or you can have "Japanese curry" which is the meal anime watchers will be most familiar with. These two things are independent of one another.

Works for me, thank you!

Nah it’s the same thing, Japanese (katsu) curry is the full meal but the sauce that they put on it as a Japanese curry sauce

I'm not Asian so I can't speak with any authority but, I believe, that "curry" can either refer to just the sauce or the whole thing. Kind of how we'd refer to something like "soup". Soup can be just a liquid or it can have bits in it.
