Did you know, curry is actually older than Fish and chips. I checked and double checked, triple checked and officially verified it the oldest Curry House in the UK was late 1700’s and the oldest Fish and Chip shop was actually 1840 something… so technically Curry has always been before Fish and Chips or at least till records began

yes BBC report says so.

BBC News - How Britain got the hots for curry

But Britons already had a taste for curry. A handful of coffee houses served curries alongside their usual fare, and in the gracious homes of returnees, ladies attempted to recreate dishes and condiments their families enjoyed on the sub-continent.

Some wrote out their own recipes; others may have used one of the many editions of Hannah Glasse’s The Art of Cookery, first published in 1747, which contained recipes for curries and pilaus.
