Curry

Queen Victoria loved a curry, but it took the entrepreneurial efforts of South Asian migrants for it to become part of the British diet. How did it go from Windsor Castle to M&S ready meals and Dishoom? Ros Taylor looks at how curry got political with historian Shrabani Basu and Professor Anand Menon of King’s College, London.   You can support More Jam Tomorrow at https://ko-fi.com/morejamtomorrow   Show Notes Anand Menon is Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King’s College London and the director of The UK in a Changing Europe. Shrabani Basu is the author of Victoria & Abdul: The Extraordinary True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant. Lord Soper’s speech is on Hansard. I am also grateful to Nishah Malik for the extract from London Life magazine.
