I've read that curry is presently the most popular food in England.

Curry is very popular in India and Pakistan also.
Had a niece that lived in Canada with a lot of Pakistans and India people in her apartment building, the smell would about knock you over, came right through the walls.

I would believe that Hala certified food such as goat and camel would be more popular./s

Well, it’s not a food but you’re right. Curry is very popular and why not? British food for the most part sucks. I have a theory as to why the Brits conquered the world. They were in search of some good cooking. So far, no one has been able to refute it.

Halal

Halal -------------------------------------- That is right and with England being 10% Muslin, it would be popular there. __________________________________________ Halal (حلال, ḥalāl, halaal) is an Arabic term meaning "permissible". In the English language it most frequently refers to food that is permissible according to Islamic law. In the Arabic language it refers to anything that is permissible under Islam.

Curcumin is very useful as an anti-inflammatory, and thus as an anti-cancer agent: http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2002/jul2002_report_curcumin_01.html

Well to my knowlwdge curry has nothing to do with Halal food and I for one love it. Whenever I can get to a real Indian restaurant I order chicken curry. MMMM!

My dog has arthritis and give her one curcumin capsule a day.

"My dog has arthritis and give her one curcumin capsule a day."

Can you give me a link to your drug/source? I have some old dogs.

Reminds me of the 1960's Donovan song, "Mellow Yellow"....."I'm just wild about saffron...."

He marched on into obscurity, as did most of the "British Invasion" groups of that era.

Researchers have isolated bisdemethoxycurcumin, the active ingredient of curcuminoids -- a natural substance found in turmeric root -- that may help boost the immune system in clearing amyloid beta, a peptide that forms the plaques found in Alzheimer's disease.

Many prepared mustards also have turmeric, including the classic French's yellow mustard and Colman's prepared mustard. (I don't believe that some other prepared mustards such as Maille's Dijon Originale have any turmeric.)

I love Indian food. I hate Altheimers. My Mother in law had it and we had her in our home for two years. It was two years that was not Hell, but it was bad.

Hi Blam,

I buy curcumin at Whole Foods. It’s called Curcumin 95 and it’s made by Jarrow Formulas. It comes in a bottle of 60 capsules, 500 mg each. I give my dog one capsule each morning. She likes cheese, so I hide it in a slice of American cheese. I’ve only been doing this for about a month; it’s not a miracle, but it seems to help.

I also give her four baby aspirins/day (the coated ones).

Thanks.

If you want a good meal in England, choose breakfast.

Good for Alzheimer's eh?

This one seems to clear out the sluices. I wish I could remember what it is called
