Yup, that is SO Blackpool
Probably unlicensed as well ? Used to go to one of those at the bottom of Boundary opposite the Blue Anchor, and dive over the road to the pub to buy a few beers from their fridge.

They come over here, stealing our names for post-drinking food! .................................
So one person has suggested it then.
Worthy of a public outcry.
It's an [MENTION=35196]Is it PotG?[/MENTION] thread. Did you expect anything other than gammon (curry)?
I love a bit of tradition and authenticity.
I salute the many posts on this thread that have so lovingly upheld the tradition of mocking a pillock thread and a hopeless case of fishing by an OP

A wonderful, if slightly concerning illustration of the direction in which we are headed.I love a bit of tradition and authenticity.

A global news outlet releases a story, and the helpful sharing of it becomes hopeless fishing by a pillock.
Not worrying times at all.
Don't start getting all serious with me. You were doing well, hovering between the slightly amusing and slightly alarming.
If you plant your feet too firmly in the Das Reich sandpit, the mockery will only intensify.
Keep up the comedy, I genuinely enjoy it

Well that's reassuring, I (along with many others) am only here for your entertainment 'H'.
Spot on.
You obviously have no understanding of the incredible intricacies and regional variance of Indian cuisine.
'Indian' and 'cuisine' (snigger) is the dog whistle. Can't be arsed to pursue it any more. The mockery on the thread will suffice.
And [MENTION=35196]Is it PotG?[/MENTION] is nowhere near being put on ignore by me. Reminds me of a lad down the pub who genuinely didn't realise his racist jokes were racist and not funny, and genuinely didn't realise we enjoyed his other jokes and just wished he's stop being a needless tit.
Playing the man not the ball - poor shout. You may not like him, but there's nothing wrong with that post in the context of this thread. NSC equivalent of lazy journalism there.

A stunning and too common example (and use of the word 'obviously') of a patronising and ignorant assumption based on the square root of sod all.
In my time both working and living across India, my experience of the cuisine was both varied and educationally enjoyable. Visiting remote villages with their mines, being warmly hosted by resident leaders was a highlight of my life's work travels.
To make such crass, sweeping assumptions is appalling, but if it keeps you happy.
So why did you post the Sky news link? You are a worse person if you know better.
Not sure I’d invite you to dinner; “Thankyou that was a most educational meal” is a bit weird.

Okay I clicked!
The headline does suggest 'cancelling' the word but I didn't find anyone in the article actually saying the word should be cancelled.
All the article really did was explain why we are using the word incorrectly and gave a summary of why that happened in the first place. Quite interesting really.
I am going to file under 'click bait article designed to cause outrage' . . . the OP obviously enjoys such misdirection and outrage
All a bit daft really

The sad loss is something I shall have to cope with in life.
Still, I'll stick with my Vesta curries.

I love Massala Dosas, I've tried making them but didn't quite nail it.
I've had them in Southampton and Tooting in the UK, wish there was some place closer!
Used to get Gujarati take on dosas in Brighton at Manju’s down from the station. Two brothers out front and Mum in her 80’s in the kitchen. Haven’t reopened since Covid. Did a short pop up in the Lord Napier last month. Hoping they’ll find somewhere soon.
Looking at their website shows they have followed the cancel curry culture for sometime.

I haven't clicked, but yes it's all a bit daft. However I do think the word 'curry' is extremely useful as a generic term, e.g. if someone says "Fancy a curry?" you know you're not going to get fish and chips. The word covers authentic dishes from all parts of the Indian sub-continent, plus of course other cultures (such as Thai) and our own popular Anglo-Indian 'takes' on authentic Indian food. (Chicken Tikka Masala was apparently invented in England because the Indian sub-continent immigrants realised the English liked the equivalent of curry, chips and gravy). And not everybody likes all types of curry.
Ultimately objecting to the word 'curry' is like objecting to the term 'beer' as that too takes no account of local varieties or different types of brews.
