Why is Indian food so popular in Britain?

In our impression, the so-called Indian food is not just a vague curry sauce, accompanied by flat round bread, and sometimes mixed with some inexplicable things. Is there no big fish and meat, and almost all of them are vegetarian? Well, what's delicious?

In fact, although Indian food is unpopular in China, it is very popular in the West. Britain, in particular, can be regarded as a national dish.

A European lifestyle magazine once made a statistic to investigate the British people's love for Indian food, and found that the British people spend as much as 200 million pounds on Indian food every year. In addition, 30% of the respondents eat Indian curry at least once a week on average.

Why?

Part of the reason is that there is nothing delicious in Britain?

As we all know, Britain is a dark cooking country with few delicious dishes, so many British people like to explore other countries' dishes.

Indian food is deeply loved by British people. On the one hand, Indian food is simple to make, and if you go to a restaurant, it is faster to serve. On the other hand, Indian curry tastes mysterious and rich, and it has the effects of refreshing the stomach and stimulating appetite. This strong and unruly curry always magnifies the delicacy and stirs the taste buds of the British.

In addition, the British public's love for curry is also famous, and curry is considered as a relic of the taste of the former British Empire. More than 400 years of colonial history has led to the intersection of various civilizations in Britain and the South Asian subcontinent. All kinds of spices and cooking techniques have crossed the ocean and taken root in the island country. /kloc-At the end of 0/8, Curry was brought back to Britain as a water item, which won the hearts of the British people.

In addition, in recent years, more and more Indians immigrated to Britain, and people who eat curry are becoming more and more common, so Indian food is becoming more and more popular in Britain.

In fact, besides Indian food, Chinese food is also very popular in Britain. London, Manchester City, Birmingham? China restaurants are everywhere.

According to the BBC, British people generally think that Chinese food is healthier, and they like spicy food more and more (although they really don't eat spicy food).

Another reason is that restaurants in China close late. For Britain, a country where bars hardly serve staple food after 10 at night, Chinese restaurants are simply the savior of British night owls!
