History of chicken tikka masala: loved in Britain, ignored in India

Chicken tikka masala has long been hailed as one of Britain’s most popular dishes, but it does not exist as such in Indian cuisine or figure commonly on menus in India. So where did it originate?

Yeah, because it doesn't have E Coli in Britain.

The US is very likely following WTO rules.

They aren't. However, litigating them through WTO channels would take years, resulting in a pyrrhic victory at best.

The WTO has simply become irrelevant. Globalization is over, trade is getting fractured across separate blocks once again. The double-whammy of Covid and Putinism has seen to that. The question is whether the USA and the EU will be in the same block, or whether there will be a fracture across the Atlantic. The IRA is a first crack; if the EU has balls enough to retaliate it will be a second crack.

There is already serious argument brewing in EU over subsidies. Much touted open market policies of west is coming to an inglorious end, they are just doing what developing countries do protect their industries.

You're making it sound that this has only just started. EV drivers have been avoiding road tax as well as congestion charges in London for ages. This is just more of the same. It's about the planet and votes more than competition, although it does affect the latter. No reason the EU shouldn't do something similar.

Other message boards? And who'd put food on the table & pay the bills? You or your pop? You think everyone leads your kind of life? Working 7/11 for 16 of the 24 hrs in a day , supplementing your meagre earnings thru pilferage, under an abusive east Indian boss who clearly owns your a r s e.

Your only source of entertainment & self worth coming from the dozen forums you participate in wherein you have to be the center of everyone's attention for which you perform such weird flex so as to kiss your own unwashed stinky "hairless" culo in practically every post you make?

Lol. That was quick. Looks like in no time you're going to be throwing another tantrum and tell the mods that you're inviting them to ban you.

That's like comparing it to France's occupation of Molsheim or the Basque region. And is Ukraine blowing up pubs? Stupid old wh0re.

It's also a direct breach of the Northern Ireland Protocol AND, most crucially, nothing to do with the Ukraine War.

JFC, all she has to do is make a customs exception to the NI-ROI border, it's only f*cking £200m-worth of goods FFS. Instead she tries to alienate a friend. She should be fired if the EU has any sense.

Tsk tsk, language, Paddy, language. Lots of young users here especially teens some of whom are idiotic enough to look upto you. Plus there are females & family audiences out here among the guests who drop by occasionally to see what's going on.

Why let everyone know what a vulgarian you are?

I hope resident story teller & other Indian members who've crossed swords with this colonialism apologist take note.

This is precisely what the comprador / collaborator class looks like even though it's several generations removed from the events given the utter deracination resulting in sheer apathy towards ones own blood & a complete identification with the colonial class which goes beyond mundane psycho babble like Stockholm Syndrome.

They're to a fault more loyal than the king & I certainly don't mean it in a positive sense.

We've been seeing a surfeit of this in India as well among the Lutyens mob apart from sundry folk sharing their world view across India & certain sections of the diaspora in the West particularly since 2014 increasing year on year given the prevalence of woke culture & a desire to curry favour among them, culminating in the dismantling Hindutva conference organized by desi academics & that insidious bunch of western indologists who see themselves as gatekeepers / validators of everything Indic, ironically inaugurated / held on 9/11 last year.

The latest excuse is that the Tu-141s were fitted with Russian IFFs salvaged from downed Russian aircraft.

Protectionism in the US began under Trump, due to China's actions in terms of market access.

But yeah, the global trade order is set to change.

I definitely wouldn't say "began", the USA have always been openly protectionist.
