I know of a fairly authentically Bengali restaurant in Leeds, which granted only does the really authentic stuff on special nights set up for the purpose. It must be said that the differences from the normal fare aren't as vast as some people would have you believe.

Generally, eating Indian food in the UK is quite similar to eating Italian in New York. There's a cuisine which has formed by the influences of a country of origin (with lots of regional variations and traditions), and then both developed (food does that you know, in all cultures) in relative isolation from that country of origin within an ex-pat community, and also been influenced and altrered by the pre-existing culinary culture in the new country.

You could then call it "UK Indian" if you wanted to be a pedant, but to dismiss it as "inauthentic" or not "genuine" is over-simplistic.

a fair summing up,also a lot of Chinese dishes came from immigrants into the USA , chop suey I believe originated in San Francisco .

I have heard an allegation that the Bulls new deadline will coincide with the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games , and that the bigger story will provide a smokescreen so that the press and public at large will hopefully not be widely aware of the Bulls decision . This allegation is from a very reliable source , and the reasoning behind the plan seems to be a very good way of avoiding a minor scandal when announcing a pre-planned announceent that could otherwise cause outrage among RL fans , and discredit our game in the press .

Anyone else heard anything similar ?
