Swapping corned beef for curry??
Does this mean the British Army is full of 'curry munchers'?? :-)
Or........ the National dish of England has now become curry!! http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574...03-401,00.html British army to swap corned beef rations for curry February 06, 2009 11:47pm BRITISH troops in Iraq and Afghanistan will soon be swapping their chocolate bars and corned beef hash for oreos and chicken kormas, in a radical overhaul of army rations. The new menus - including halal, vegetarian and Sikh and Hindu diets - are designed for troops serving in extreme weather conditions, and will be trialled on the front lines from May until October. Among the new additions are chicken tikka masala, the British version of south Asian curries that was once referred to as a "national dish" by former foreign secretary Robin Cook, and Thai green vegetable curry. ................ -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are.
