| Hello and good day to you, this topic is all about things which are quite interesting topics to discuss about. If I'm feeling in the mood for things, then I will give away gold to anyone who gives winning answers towards quite interesting (and non-ignorant) answers. So... Where does Chicken Tikka Masala come from? | |

| The origins of chicken tikka masala are disputed: Perhaps the most widely reported explanation of the origins of the dish is that it was conceived in Glasgow in the late 1960s, when a customer, who found the traditional chicken tikka too dry, asked for some gravy. The chef supposedly improvised a sauce from tomato soup, yogurt and spices. Many restaurants throughout the UK claim to have invented it. The recipe's age is also unproven, with claims ranging from the 1970s back to the 1950s At least one source has the dish originating in New Delhi in 1947. Another theory is that it originated in British India to adapt local dishes to the British palate. A prototype may be Murgh Makhni (butter chicken), a dish from the Punjab region of India.
Never had it myself though since I don't really like Indian food that much. | |

The dish was founded in the 1960s when someone asked for a sauce due to the chicken being dry. Obviously the chef made the sauce and then it became Chicken Tikka Masala - Britain only exports C.T.M. to India, hence why it isn't a Indian Dish in terms of nationality. | |

| Answer: They don't care, it's all the same to them. The real way in which snakes are charmed is by the colour of the flute. This attracts the snakes and acts as the 'charm' as such.
What was the first invention to break the sound barrier? | |

| Well the first HUMAN invention to break the sound barrier would be in fact, the Bull Whip. The "Cracker" which is the end of the whip (Hence the cracking sound) actually moves faster than the speed of sound, therefor breaking the sound barrier. | |
