What is it about Asian food

Where ever you go in the world there is always a Chinese or Indian restaurant, now generally the Chinese food is very similar where ever you go, from Hong Kong all the way heading west to Hollywood.

But then there is the Indian food, the good old traditional curry, it is a known fact that the number one dish/meal in the UK is now a curry in fact it is a Chicken Tikka Masala, however, where ever you go in the world, apart from the occasional similarity of the above dish, the food all tastes different even if it is named the same, Rogan Josh surely is a Rogan Josh, but no it is anything from a thick stew with hot spices to a really flavoursome meal with a mixture of tomato's, peppers and meat... so what is this all about.

The Chinese were clever in matching the needs of westerners to help increase their popularity by including vegetables and meals they don't have in China, however, they are now global options, as for the good old curry they keep the same names tell everyone it is authentic and just the same as it was/is made in India, well all I can say is either the Chef's have a bad memory or there is more than one India in the world and they all have different traditional variations of the same meal...

Never mind, enjoy your curry whatever you get, just order a Rogan Josh and enjoy the surprise.
