Bob- Still being cooked at home but I rarely eat British and most our 
our Indian population in Leicester ((c. 100, 000) are vegetarian so 
don't eat in the ubiquitous Bangladeshi restaurants- home of the 
Tandoori and Balti. May I recommend the varied works of Peter Brears on 
British food history, kitchens, experimental cooking and ceramics. He 
was an early and probably founder member of SPMA and still researching 
and writing. About time someone gave him an honorary doctorate.
