What Is The British National Dish?

It's a Chicken Tikka Masala which started in London as a plain chicken currey dish. In Glasgow a man was given this chicken currey and asked for some gravy to be put on-top, the Chef didn't have any gravy so he improvised with tomatoes and other ingredients. The Chicken Tikka Masala has no definition, it can be hot, mild, orange, brown anything.

There are more Indian restaurants and take-aways in the UK than any other variety including fish & chip shops. The national dish has to be curry.  It's so ingrained into the national psyche, you can't get more British than a curry. Even MacDonalds serves a curry sauce for people to dip their fries and chicken nuggets into. First curry house opened in London in the 18th century,  Previous posts are correct.  Chicken Tika Massala is the most favoured of all the British curry varieties.

Thats crazy....fish and chips is the national dish...why would they change it? You ask anyone in another country whats the dish you'd think of when thinking of uk and they would come out with fish and chips...I'm 33 years old and ive never tried chicken tikka massala but why on earth is an indian dish now getting voted for instead of brittish food? Only thing that comes close to fish and chips is roast beef and thats Brittish Beef too. I'm not saying that indian foods are no good....what I'm saying is this is England...we should vote for our own food not foreign food!

Actually its roast meat and veg xxx

Traditionally it was fish and chips, but in the last few years that has been overtaken by chicken tikka masala, which was basically devised in Indian restaurants as a form of Indian cooking that would appeal to British tastes.
