What's for Dinner?

We're quite limited here.
I mean there are a number of restaurants and they do take-away, but the menus are all the same.
Having lived in Leicester I've experienced a far wider range of Indian cuisine and eaten with Indians/ Pakistanis or people of that heritage, so I know I've been eating authentic food.
The take-aways I can get in Aylesbury aren't completely tailored to English tastes, but they are tweaked, and it's pretty much all Punjabi.

Still, it's more authentic than Chinese take-away, which is nothing like what you get in China. Not here anyway - possibly different in other cities or other countries. I'm sure I've told the story of when my Hong Kong born colleague took me out for my birthday and we ordered from the Chinese menu. Now that was a culture shock. Taught me that "authentic" was over-valued, despite my use of the word here
