Curry powder is nothing but a mix of other spices, it isnt actually a spice, its just the other spices you might normally use mixed together. But i cant fault the concept of covering up rotting meat, then i cant see why the meat might be rotting because it was eaten shortly after killing, in the long term they lived off vegetables and what not, at least thats what i always thought.
have to issue a correction regarding my earlier mention of Coronation Chicken
- it was invented just after the end of the British Raj...
for the coronation of the present Queen
horrible stuff if I say so myself
Colonialism resulted in that mild flavoured British invention Curry Powder spreading to the Carribean for use in Curried Goat and various dishes, patties etc
