Why I Love This Recipe
I did not start to really travel until the early 70s and so my experiences of food and other cultures were very limited. But in the 60’s with the influx of peoples from other lands, England began to experience many new things. One of which was food. Picking up wonderful tasting food with mouth-watering aromas, was always a treat. And so curry will always make me remember home. Decidedly, chilly winters, warm open fires, pubs and good friends.
