Carl,one of the American exchange students,said that curry is one of his favourite food. Daniel wants to learn more about curry. He has found this article on the Internet. Read it with him.
Curry around the world
"Curry" is the English word used to describe meat or vegetables in a spicy sauce,usually served with rice. It is believed that the word "curry" comes from the Tamil word "kari".
Curries have been very popular dishes in many Asian countries throughout history. Although curry is believed to originally come from India,it has been eaten in many other Asian countries—such as Pakistan,Bangladesh,Sri Lanka,Nepal,Indonesia,Malaysia and Thailand—for thousands of years.
Today curries are eaten all over the world. This tasty and spicy dish was brought to the West by British people from India in the 17th century.
What we call "curry" today is an international dish that is well known around the world. Over time and distance,the flavours of dishes change so that the people eating the dish will like it. For example,the most popular curry in restaurants in the UK is called chicken tikka masala. Many British people think this is an Indian dish. However,it is really a dish created by restaurants in the UK and is not a traditional Asian dish at all.
Today curry is loved by people all over the world,unless,of course,they do not like spicy food!
