Curry around the world

“Curry” is the English word used to describe meat or vegetables in a spicy, usually served with rice. It is believed that the word “Curry” comes from the Tamil word “kari”.

Curries have been very popular dishes in many Asian countries throughout history. Although curry is believed to come originally from India, it has been eaten in many other Asian countries—for thousands of years.

Today, curries are eaten all over the world. This tasty, spicy dish was brought to the West by British people from India in the 17th century.

What we call curry today is an international dish that is well known around the world. Over time and distance, the flavours of dishes change so that the people eating the dish will like it. For example, the most popular curry in restaurants in the UK is called chicken tikka masala. Many British people think this is an Indian dish. However, it is really a dish created by restaurants in the UK and is not a traditional Asian dish at all.

Today curry is loved by people all over the world, unless, of course they don’t like spicy food. （選自《補(bǔ)充習(xí)題》九下)
