While true for traditional UK meals, there are so many immigrants to the UK that Curry and Kebabs and everything else has been pervasive there since the 70s or earlier.

Typically British pub crawl is a Spicy curry night cap.

But yeah, in the 70s my mom would cook boiled potatoes and boiled meat. The potatoes had no salt and so bland they'd make me gag. I'm sure the blood sausage had flavour but I was gagging at how disgusting that looked.

But also where I learned I loved Spicy Indian Curry

... and named in a way that if the looks didn't put you off, the name will hahahaha

PS: joking aside, there is so much great food in the UK today, I have no idea where all these terrible names and combos on old traditional dishes came from
