Scotland claims Chicken Tikka Masala origins

A chef from Scotland is claiming that he invented the Anglo-Indian curry dish, Chicken Tikka Masala. Channel News Asia reported that Ahmed Aslam Ali, whose family owns the Shish Mahal restaurant in Glasgow, claims that they concocted the first ever version of the popular dish back in the 1970s, and is now pressing the European Union to give it ‘Protected Designation of Origin’ status, alongside the likes of Champagne and Parma Ham. Chicken tikka masala is now as firmly embedded in British food folklore as fish and chips, but its origins remain unclear. Chefs in London and Birmingham also lay claim to the dish, with one restaurateur saying that he originally used a tin of tomato soup for the creamy sauce.

Welcome to the Griechenbeisl, Vienna’s oldest inn The Griechenbeisl (The Greek Inn) is one of Vienna’s oldest inns. Artists, scholars and politicians would congregate in the Griechenbeisl to eat, drink, debate and reflect – often into the early hours. From the world famous balladeer ‘Der lieber Augustin’ to later figures of the stature of Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, Strauss, Brahms, the painters Waldmüller and Schwind, the opera singer Schaljapin, writers Mark Twain, Grillparzer and Nestroy, and political personalities such as Karl Lueger and Graf Zeppelin have all appreciated its traditional Viennese cuisine and creature comforts. The framed autographs on the walls of the famous Mark Twain room ensure that their presence lives on here.
