'Curry colleges' to help create jobs for UK unemployed

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18044462

"Curry houses in the UK which are struggling to recruit Asian staff because of tougher immigration rules, are being urged by the government to accept graduates from new "curry colleges".

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, is opening five "centres of excellence" across England, offering training to young unemployed people in Asian cookery.

Catrin Nye reports...."

Video at link. I got hungry just watching the story. Man, I love the Indian Sub Continent cooking. Bombay Bistro here in town is the closest I get these days.

Isnt it surprising how rare Indian food is in the USA. It is not as if there isnt a strong following of highly spiced and hot foods like Mexican food. I know most Texans love their chillies as well.

Have developed a taste for spicy Indian cuisine too. I'll have to get over there one of these days.

I usually prefer a native to make whatever ethnic food I am eating. I walked into a Chinese restaurant in Cedar City, Utah. The cook was a gwai-loh opening a can of Chung King noodles....

There are some family owned Indian, Middle Eastern, and Asian restaurants around here whose menus are whatever 'Mom' fixes that day. The food is outstanding and the customer base loyal. I try to avoid chain restaurants as much as possible.

There is a pocket of ethnic restaurants here in town that I love to visit when I can. Everything from a great Peruvian place to traditional Szechuan complete with the entire Chinese family with children occupying a corner table before the dinner service. Good god they make some spicy and flavorful food.

Hey Mark,

Have you ever driven down Artesia Blvd? It's been awhile but at least that's where I remember little India being. Having all of the different cultures represented here is at least one good thing about Southern California. Real Indian food is great.

Yeah- That area of Artesia has become little India. My wife taught in Cerritos for 30 years. The East side of town is now Korean, the West side is Indian. When my family first moved to California in 1956, we called that whole area "Dairyland".
