But today's home cooked curries bear very little resemblance to a 1930s English curry which was flavoured with curry powder and very little else!

Although there were rare exceptions, until the '60s English food was a slough of despond. When I brought my Swiss bride home to London in '67 (she had been brought up by a wonderful, fiercely loving mother who was a cook to die for) she discovered that you could only buy olive oil from the chemist- and that was in cosmopolitan London. The only edible food on the street was the full English breakfast, still the greatest contribution to world culture before the Beatles. Now, the sky's the limit. Our local supermarket sells every kind of spice and specialised shops locally sell infinitely more- but we are in Peckham... Lusaka-on-Thames.
