What's some interesting food history? To start off, Japanese owes their curry to the British.
>British people brought curry from the Indian colony back to Britain and introduced it to Japan during the Meiji period (1868 to 1912), after Japan ended its policy of national self-isolation (sakoku), and curry in Japan was categorised as a Western dish.
>Its spread across the country is commonly attributed to its use in the Japanese Army and Navy which adopted it extensively as convenient field and naval canteen cooking, allowing even conscripts from the remotest countryside to experience the dish.

The British (who live on an island, by the way) somehow didn’t know how to fry fish until the Jews taught them how.
Fried fish was first brought to England by Western Sephardic Jews,[2] and is considered the model for the fish element of the dish.[3] Originally, Western Sephardic Jews settling in England in the 17th century would have prepared fried fish in a manner similar to Pescado frito, which is coated in a flour.[4] Battered fish is first coated in flour then dipped into a batter consisting of flour mixed with liquid, usually water but sometimes beer. Some newer modifications to the recipe may have cornflour added, and instead of beer sometimes soda water is added.[5] In 1860, the first fish and chip shop was opened in London by Joseph Malin[6] who sold "fish fried in the Jewish fashion".[7]

The perpetual stew is one of the oldest dishes of mankind. Meat and vegetables are slow cooked in a earthen cauldron and never really emptied. New ingredients are perpetually added to the broth a they are available. contents of the bowl change with the seasons.
The tradition has survived with some slow cooked stews in europe, and soup broths in asian kitchens, some vietnamese pho merchants will tell you that the cook the same broth in the 3rd generation, and they mean it.

Even weirder in this pattern, the entire category of curry is not native to Indian cuisine, and is very ambiguous. It is likely the concept of 'curry' comes from British attempts to recreate dishes they experienced while in India.
