I also think there would be a market for "plastic coffins" - like the author I have many a time tried to imagine the person lying in the wooden coffin - and the fact that they are reusable.


The story of the British Curry   March 29, 2006

WHY is curry so British? Why is food, and more importantly, who cooks it, so essential to our understanding of who we are. Rohan Candappa tell us in a very readable and entertaining way why something as simple as memories of food can be held in our subconscious forever. Memories that can be unlocked just from an aroma, which then transports us back to an age we had long left behind. His humour is the strong point in this book, it's very off the wall and reminded me of Bill Bryson's style of writing. Some of the childhood memories he shares with us are so sad but never self pitying, they are sandwiched between wonderful old recipes, some memories are just daft, others are hilarious. Buy this book just for the recipes, you'll also get for your money a wonderfully told tale of a first generation immigrant's childhood in England in the 1970's. Bon Appetite!
