What do you fancy tonight?

I was aware that chicken tikka masala, although a staple of Indian cuisine here, does not exist in India itself - it is a purely British invention (Glasgow is usually cited as its birthplace), but I now learn, thanks to Italian chef Antonio Carluccio that spaghetti bolognese - the archetypal Italian dish - would equally not be seen on a menu in Italy. A pasta dish with bolognese sauce would traditionally be made with tagliatelle, never spaghetti. So you may feel cosmopolitan eating Indian or Italian but in fact you may just be eating British!
