Where was chicken tikka masala first created?

(hint - it's not in India)

[tonyav]

I've never had any but I'll guess at Sparkbrook.

In a clay oven that started life as a Cornish pasty case.

[Togo]

In Birmingham.

So who's got an argument with the latest Walkers Deli advert, which proudly says "Cheddar Cheese from Cornwall" - since when?

[Togo]

It is a cheese and pasty war, since people in Somerset started making Cornish pasties.

"Cheddar Cheese from Cornwall"


WOT !.

Get the water cannons out.

[Togo]

Loaded with Welsh water tonyav.

[tonyav]

It would be if it were Brum, Togo.

[Togo]

Haha you could use some of that canal water. They would run a mile.

[tonyav]

Oi I leaned to swim in the Wyrley and Essington cut, Togo. We all used to go skinny dipping as kids on hot summer days.
