    pickles curry college integration strategy

    Now you can get a 2:1 in chicken tikka, and to think I was worried about the UK economy.

    China might have a space programme, Japan may be gambling everything on robots, America's tomorrows are being born in Silicon Valley and Germany will continue its search for engineering perfection, but no one else is staking their future on a curry college.


    Pickles's "curry college", as it is being called, would see the government backing a school to train British people from all backgrounds to become chefs specialising in Indian food as an answer to the crisis in the £3.2bn curry industry triggered by the Home Office's ban on bringing in chefs from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.

    They are offering courses in chutney spoon management. I can offer a bursary to the first person who can remind us of what is grey and smells of curry.

        The correct answer is John Major's cock but I'll give it to you. No licking the spoon and putting it back in.

            Brilliant, that will stop the Bangladeshis saying the only people who can make Indian curries is the Bangaldeshis.

            Well played Sir.

              Get the sub continentals to train their British replacements. I like it.

                Not sure how far these meals are anglified anyway. Remember going to one place in Cleethorpes that had received an award for making the most authentic Indian meals and it was horrible.

                  I was just annoyed by the inherent racism publicly expressed and not condemned when they put that forward as support for Visas.

                  How traditional? In my opinion its massively bastardised much like Chinese & Thai takeaways the food served is based on Banquet food that most natives wouldn't get to eat and are partially based on foreign recipes anyway. Persian/Chinese/European twists were added over the centuries.

                  They are then adjusted to the UK palate, if you eat in an Indian home the food is much dryer and normally not so rich or so carnivorous, most Indians in my experience lean towards vegetarianism due to religion and tradition. They also tend to have a very sweet tooth.

                  Obviously not being Bangladeshi I can't comment on Indian food but every occasion I have attended (hosted by many different people from that continent) and every time I have eaten in someone's home it has normally been simpler and less calorie laden (they leave that for the sweets) the meat course was the minority.
