Beyond Curry: Decolonising the Way We Talk About Indian Food

There’s also Japanese and Chinese/HK curry, introduced by British imperialists in the 1800s, as well as the Caribbean. Conversely Thai curry evolved via the India connection. Japanese curry is very sweet, while HK version is very Cantonese based. International trade, aka colonialism (British in particular), is responsible for much of the spread. Thai curry….way more complex history, less colonial influence .
