We did once have an Indian curry in Paris in a proper Indian Restaurant! As the proprietor was originally from West Bromich I count that as British.

Yes,  if you had chicken tikka masala that would be a Scottish delicacy by all accounts!wink

Yeeuuk!

In my experience you are more likely to see 1 of three sorts of non Parisian restaurants there. Either a regional French one such as from  Alsace, or Asian, mainly Vietnamese, or surprisingly a McDonalds. I was really surprised to read somewhere that France has the most McDs outside of America, can't remember if it's numerically or per head of population.

Wonder if they do a Haggis tikka?undecided

Haggis
The first known written recipes for a dish of this name, made with offal and herbs, are as "hagese", in the verse cookbook Liber Cure Cocorum dating from around 1430 in Lancashire, north west England,[7] and, as "hagws of a schepe"[8] from an English cookbook also of c. 1430.

Would you believe it! From the land of the black pudding!wink, allegedly!

Doesn't surprise me Micky. Mrs WN, a Lancastrian, has always maintained that Lancashire can be proud to have given the world Black Pudding, Tripe and Haggis. Bring on the deep fried Mars bar I say.laughing

The Cross of St George pub on the rue Saint Georges , Paris 09 , sounds pretty English to me - and their menu includes full English breakfast, as well as fish and chips with mushy peas.

I must admit that I used to be very partial to a good Black Pudding (or Boudin Noir) but these days I can't trust that they'll be wheat- free which is a must for me.

I presume, TG, that deep fried mars bars are also off your menu!smile
