In British Officers returned from their duties in India, they ate at Indian restaurants in the richer parts of London (although they were few and far between).

Later families arriving from Bangladesh to London opened restaurants in the East End. Various cultures make decisions about the types of food they eat.

Judaism - Kosher food

Islam - Halal

Others make ethical changes to their diets and vegetarians chose to teat food without an animal source although some still do at fish.

These days we tend to incorporate foods from other countries into our diet. There is now a range of Thai, Indian, West Indian, Chinese plus other sauces or ready cook meals which helps you to enhance the taste of your meals whatever your culture.

The traditional meal for Jamaicans on a Sunday is Rice and peas and chicken, for the English it is Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

However, you now find that whereas people who arrived from countries like India, Jamaica and Pakistan never ate chips and continue to this day to cook traditionally, the second and third generations now enjoy fish and chips and have become accustomed to school dinners and other take aways, which include Pizza and Kebabs.

On the otherside of British culture, It is now well known that an Indian curry has overtaken sales of fish and chips on a Friday and Saturday night.
