??????

Clue for what? Brits don't eat potatoes? What the heck are the chips in fish
n' chips?

As for the "aloo": "The name Vindaloo is derived from the Portuguese
dish "Carne de Vinha d' Alhos," which is a dish of meat..."

"Traditional vindaloos do not include potatoes, the discrepancy
arising because the word "aloo" means "potato" in Hindi."

Howzabout researching the facts before you post misleading info..
