Popular dish
Curry is one of the UK’s most popular dishes – certainly in terms of what to eat when you go out and what to get as a takeaway. Perhaps the most notorious curry in the UK is chicken tikka massala – supposedly a completely British creation to suit our tastes and a dish that has several myths about its origins.

Curry Mile
The Curry Mile, in Rusholme, Manchester is famous in the UK for its concentration in one place of so many curry restaurants. Whether or not it does actually stretch for a mile is debatable but it refers to a stretch of road out from the universities which has about 50 curry restaurants along it mainly offering dishes from Pakistan and India. The restaurants fuse Indian, Pakistani and English traditions, creating something new and exciting. We traditionally drink beer with our curries - there's something satisfying about tearing a chunk of naan bread, scooping up a dollop of curry and washing it down with beer.  

The Curry Mile is immensely popular - its said that 10,000 people a week eat here, from couples on dates, to groups of people on big nights out.
