30 years ago, I once accompanied a hygiene inspector around a number of restaurants, some of which were Indian. One Indian I remember had a filthy toilet cubicle, with no door, actually in the kitchen where food was being prepared. Quite shocking. In short, I'd be more worried about the s*** we are served up for extortionate prices rather than terminology. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (11 Aug 2021 7.02pm) I don't like to look at the world through this prism if I can avoid it, but what was the ethnic demographic of the Peckham sh*thole - surely it wasn't a pie and mash shop?

Curry itself is actually a recipe that originates in India. The Indian food we eat over here is very different to what Indians eat over there as genetically they are able to tolerate spicy hot dishes better than what we can in the UK. Curry essentially was created in India but when the Indians came over to the UK and set up their restaurants they gave us curry to suit our palate. Over time things have evolved and Vindaloo and Phal have come into existence over here. As curry was the main dish here at first the terms has just stuck so that is why we hear the term curry house but as you know when you visit an Indian restaurant there is much more than curry on the menu. Hope this helps and explains it a bit for you. ghost, not splittin hairs, but vindaloo is a genuine dish(maybe not the name ) has a portugese influence.

What I do remember are the hundreds of cockroaches.
