i've pulled loads of all-nighters in london to avoid getting early trains or waking people up, the trick is to keep going from chinese restaurant to chinese restaurant getting different rice in each one.

admittedly i've never been to india and chances are they've got us beat here, but that fact notwithstanding i'm pretty sure the UK does the best indian food in the world.

i don't eat tikka masala either (or any meat for that matter) so i maybe have a skewed perspective i guess. there's a definite quality to anglo-indian cuisine that i'd really miss before long, though, i doubt it'd pass for mindblowingly awesome in the eyes of many chefs but i think as a staple national diet you could do a lot worse!

on a similar asian-food-cooked-by-africans note, the best chinese food i've ever had was in ghana. for some reason they've really taken it to heart over there, it wasn't quite what i was expecting from the country but i couldn't complain. certainly found it easier from a non-meat perspective than kenya, at least...

um yeah 'paki' is universally a racist term in the UK at least.

the curry advice above is good!
