My mother used to say: “Hurry-Burry makes a bad curry” but I know, just from looking at the recipe, that this one would have made her think again. Thank you.

Comment on Tracking Down Traditional Scottish Food in India by Phil Biggerton

It reall is fascinating how the relationship between India and Britain has influenced the food we eat. A newly published book that illustrates this so well is called The Flavours of History. Written by the organisers of National Curry Week

It shows that curry is not only a world phenomenon but has been part of our lives in Britain for over 600 years and can rightly be given a place in British cuisine.

The “Flavours of History” takes the reader on a journey back in time to the very start of our love of herbs and spices and offers fascinating insights into how our food – and taste buds – have changed over the years. A richly illustrated chapter called, “Exotic Foods, Herbs and Spices A – Z” offers interesting snippets about the history as well as the culinary traditions and medicinal effects of food, herbs and spices around the world.

With chapter headings like, ‘History of the Ethnic Restaurant in Britain’, ‘Dean Mahomed – First Man of Curry’, ‘Origins of Curry – Is it really English?’, ‘On the Trail of the Tandoor’, and ‘The ‘Currification’ of the World’ you can see how curry has captured the world and a place in the hearts and stomachs of many.Available on Amazon.

Hi Bridget
You may remember me. I bought all your books a few months ago when I was in Calcutta.
Regarding Calcutta sausages. These were from Baldwin cold storage in Free School Street. This family business also sold Baldwin pianos. However they closed down the piano showroom but still have a tiny shop where you can buy cold meats.
Another place for sausages and where most Anglos go is under the clock tower in the New Market. I suggest you buy the meat yourself and get them to mince it in front of you. Another variety is the Entally sausage which you get from Entally, a suburb of Calcutta.
I Australia, I think a lady called Ivy made the best sausages but now her brother Joe makes them. However we all yearn for the real Calcutta sausage so if you get the authentic recipe it woud be great.
