Britain is obsessed with ethnic food? Chinese and Indian has become the nations food of choice, overtaking our own fish and chips? Indian and Chines are the largest sector, with a 40 per cent proportion of the market. The Indian food industry alone employs 60,000 staff and has made chicken tikka masala Britain’s favourite dish.
You will find Indian and Chinese takeaways up and down the country from Chinese edinburgh restaurants to Barry’s own Indian eateries. We love Indian food so much so that we even have a National Curry Week at the end of November. In today’s globalised world, culture overlaps and integrates. Our affection for Indian food goes back some 400 years, when the East India Company allegedly brought various ingredients and dishes to our shores in the 1600s. These brave seamen were mainly indigenous to eastern India. In fact, such is the popularity of the oriental dish many people has began cooking their own Chinese and Indian. Supermarkets have a selection of products from sauces, condiments and instant meals whilst an increasing amount of Far Eastern style grocery shops are opening too.
Statistics show that we are currently in the midst of a boom in ethnic restaurants. Where are the best eateries? It’s always going to be a element of luck involved, but by reading online reviews you can get a decent idea to whether the takeaway restaurant is worthy of your business. Use your search engine, type ‘Indian takeaway Edinburgh‘ or ‘Chinese delivery Birmingham‘ depending on your location.
