    when the first Indian restaurants (which also includes Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants in a catch all phrase) opened in Britain they realised that the British liked gravys with their meat and some enterprising chef came up with Chicken Tikka Masala by combining the dry Chicken Tikka wuth a mildly spiced coconut and yoghurt curry to cater for the British tastes - its a bit mild for me but it is delicious. Elsewhere other forms of British Indian food have gained fame - the chicken Balti is originally from Pakistani restaurants in the Birmingham area I believe (and is well worth checking out).

    The man credited for creating this dish passed away last year at 77 years old, his passing sparked a lot of debate around the subject but may he rest well

    Everyone who’s not from the uk remember that when he says the prices for the meals they will be more expensive than usual because he is probably in a fairly touristy area, this would normally cost you no more than £15/20 over here

    In December I'm going back to England for the first time in 5 years so you've basically been helping me make a list of things to eat when I go back. You should try British desserts next!

    Fun fact. The American pizza is essentially the modern pizza. The Neapolitan pizza is an import from America.

    Based on the story: Chicken Tikka (dry) existed in India since the 1600s. In the 1970s, a South Asian immigrant served the dry chicken tikka in a Tomato curry base, and added some heavy cream and the same spices you use to make the dry Chicken Tikka. This was somewhat similar to Butter Chicken (which pre-dates CTM), with the difference being the use of boneless Tikka and a creamer like Cashew paste. Now, there is no unified source that says where it was definitively invented. If you look it up online, it says it's 'claimed' to be invented in Glasgow or Britian. So you can say the Tikka is Indian and the curry (Masala) is British.

    Please do a food tour across Ireland! The way you’ve treated your UK food has been so respectful and genuinely curious, and I’d love to see you take that same talent and treatment to Ireland, because we’re not known for our great food but, same as in the UK, we have a lot of things that we do really well.

    I could eat a full Sunday roast, but watching Ben eat would make me immediately hungry again.

    I feel bad that you don't have the chutneys in there and a yogurt sauce . I love eating Indian food in London. -it is some of the best and the combo of the cool foggy air and the spicy Indian food is a dream. Also , if you even visit Fiji , the Indian food there is superb.

    It's the way he describes the food he's eating. But more so, It's the sound he is making that makes my mouth water every time I watch him. Great stuff Ben.

    Peshwari naan is another thing you should try, especially with a spicy curry. The mix of sweet and spice really hits.
