In my experience
you can't get a decent Indian curry in the USA. I've had several when over on holiday, in various parts from New Jersey right through to California, and they're not a patch on what you can get in Britain.

I suspect demographics explain it. In the UK we have a large number of people of Indian descent, therefore there are plenty of curry houses, lots of competition, and loads of people (of all ethnic persuasions) to eat and rate the food. So the curries are top notch. The US doesn't have so many Indians.

However, there are a lot of Mexicans in America, so he Mexican restaurants over there are ten times better than we have here in Britain, because we don't have the Mexican population here.

That's just my theory, and it's purely based on observation, so feel free to disagree!
