Mint sauce used to be loads better when you got it in a little bag with the onions pre-mixed in. I'd like to meet everyone who complained about that and force-feed them whole onions.
and I think it's less common to get them as a matter of course (pretty much every curry restaurant in Glasgow they're like "spiced onions yeah?" but I think I've had to ask for them in Manchester). Pretty sure we got them in Bradford too. But not London (never had a good curry in London tho).
Not nearly as common in Scotland as the North of England/Midlands, where samosas and pakoras have equal billing, but in Scotland there's a definite pakora bias.
Don't know or care about The South. Something about jellied eels/street burgers?
yeah cheese on chips with pakora sauce

It's the mint sauce they usually give you with curries, but with ketchup in.

have you had spiced onions?
only found in scotland, made with a mix of ketchup, mint sauce, mango chutney and chilli powder, which sounds quite rank but is actually beautiful
"only found in scotland"
nahhhhhhhhhh you get them in manchester
really?
why have none of my english friends heard of spiced onions
I don't think they always call them that

bet someone gets annoyed about
my London curry libel
street curry
also
my friend from essex didn't know what pakora was (despite having eating many indian takeaways). ffs, south of england.
a lot of them wouldn't know a samosa either
=)
imagine not even being able to talk about curry without getting chippy and bitter about other people
getting a curry and a chippy would be too much for me
especially if I was drinking bitter
You'll never understand a Northerner's pain in trying to get a decent curry down south.
I can't get a decent one just moving from Bradford to Huddersfield, never mind the bland slop you guys dish up
Samosas:

yeah
I think that's true (although I was brought up in a very samosa dominant household).
also when you google it most of the first results make some kind of reference to scotland
so i'm gonna say it's MORE OF A THING here
ok my investigation
has found that they are called "red onions" in England. How confusing.
hahaha
great naming, guys.
ungoogleable
tbh I've never heard anyone actually specifically refer to them
i'm definitely going to say red onions makes more sense than spiced onions though
but a red onion is a fucking red onion
it's already a thing.
MARLON: How can i make chopped up red onion like at the curry house?
ROSCOE: Er...you buy a red onion and chop it up?
MARLON: oh
hey guys
the word set has a lot of different meanings too!
do you also call raita 'green yoghurt'
and mango chutney 'orange gloop'
I says it like I see it
You mean like the ones you get in a poppadom pickle tray?
yeah 'red onions'
Chips, cheese and doner meat.
That's the game.
