River Korma or Balti Brook?

Bradford River

Pictures from Bradford show the impact the city’s curry houses are having on local streams

A recent report in a national newspaper revealed that a river in bradford had turned yellow because of discharges from local curryhouses.

Its not happened yet in the balti triangle but maybe a balti brook could become a big tourism attraction!

Taking back the Street (food)?

If a proper Balti is a culinary invention that many enjoy, I suppose it doesn’t really matter if the burgeoning ‘street’ food scene is the genuine article or really nouveau Indian tapas in disguise and, to be honest, I enjoy my turmeric and masala chips as much as the next curry lover.

However, taking this to its fullest extent, if Indian street food has to be the real deal off the streets of Delhi then British ‘street’ food should surely be greasy hamburgers, watery hot dogs, sloppy onions with tomato sauce on an anaemic bap followed by a Mr Whippy ice cream (with flake). I’m not sure that’s a concept with international appeal!
