Curries cooked by English people

Aborigines and/or Eskimo's do not make up 4.5% of the population last time i checked?

 

But the purpose of the question wasn't to insinuate.

I was genuinely shocked how someone can live, work & socialise in northern England and not end up with at least one Muslim friend (unless for personal reasons).

I've met and becomes friends with Muslims & non-Muslims alike not just from the usual places, i.e. work, but for example from my sons after-school football club.

 

It depends what era you grew up in, I've already mentioned the past and there are also hardly any minorities in the area that I now live. The only person I have socialised with from a minority background is a Sikh.

I don't think anyone does think only Indian people cook curry.

 

That said there's no doubt that Indian curries are the most popular in England.

Strangely, I'm just cooking potato, chickpea and spinach curry at the moment. Obviously Asians/Indians will have a natural talent for their own cooking but plenty of non Italians cook Italian food and French and so on. This thread has dealt with places like the Thali Café, now in Kelham Island. I recall visiting an Indian (ie Pakistani) place in Attercliffe owned by an English ie white businessman who hired Asian chefs. It was in the central part of Attercliffe with a car park immediately behind. You entered via the kitchen "so customers would be reassured." Nice food as I remember.

Depends where your circle of friends comes from doesn't it? I have worked and chatted to many Muslims over the years. However, I spend most of my social time drinking beer. Which clearly is an activity where you don't encounter too many.
