You think other people cooked that kind of curry, people other than the English?

Distinctively British, for over 200 years, and remote from Indian and SE Asian curries. You say "not English curry". Your opinion, and I disagree. Can you say clearly whether you say this because it isn't "English" or it isn't "curry"?

If not English, why?
