We're not arguing about mistranslated words, Passer :P Chicken Tikka Masala is a dish which involves spiced, tandoor-roasted chicken served in a sauce. Case closed.
Exactly, the chicken is spiced with masala. The sauce is spiced with masala. The sauce is not itself called 'masala'. That's all I'm pointing out.
I suppose you can call it gravy if you want to.
no you can't!
Well you argue that, then. I'm still trying to figure out what the Falklands has to do with this.
Fine
Do you have fat? Do you have flour?
Then you may have a gravy!!!
You may also have a bechemel!
But everyone knows that is the decepticon bastard child of sauce and gravy. Delicious and evil.
I resent the word gravy being used to mean sauce in general. This is my line in the sand.
A line defended by two.
my girlfriend is italian, her family calls spaghetti sauce "gravy"
apparently this is a thing?
The Sopranos taught me this odd quirk of Italian-Americans. I'm guessing it comes from an iffy translation down the line that took root.
i kind of just go with it
gravy is a better word than sauce anyway
I wonder if this is where the Glaswegians got it from? There's a huge amount of stuff that came into the dialect because of the huge influx of Italians in the first half of the 20th century.

It's just chicken tikka, then. Masala is the gravy (hence one of the stories about how the dish was invented, some dude in Glasgow asking for "gravy" for his chicken tikka and the chef whipping up something sauce-y to go with it).
Bob is quite correct here. Masala is a sauce.
No, smart and lovely though she is, Bob is quite wrong.
Unless you want to say 'British lingo', in which case fine, you can say Masala is a sauce.
A spicy masala sauce. The sauce is spicy from masala - as in, made from masala and other ingredients. Given that all the spice blends are already called 'masalas'... yeah.
I feel like I should be eating Naan while you two duke it out. Anyhow, I think Chicken Tikka Masala implies the sauce (which is the best part), but I hope the Westbury Manor makes it without the sauce so my schweaty can enjoy some on her wedding day. Tikka Masala Sauce + Wedding Dress does not sound like happy fun times.

I am kind of sad that they didn't have me sing or roleplay or anything.
Were you applying for a position in musical porn?
If only! No, teaching English in Japan. Apparently sometimes the interviewers ask the candidates to do some pretty odd things. They had Simon sing, for example.
Breakfast today consisted of bacon, eggs cooked in bacon grease, butter with far more butter than strictly necessary, left over salami, and one delicious beer.
Days off are a wonderful thing.
Well the sun is over the yard arm somewhere.

Yeah, I mean, as far as I'm concerned gravy is just bechamel made with animal fat instead of butter.
I need to make biscuits and gravy soon, I make a pretty damn delicious sausage gravy.
Are drag bars even a thing?
That seems WAAYY to niche to exist.
I don't think Houston has any but I've known at least one to exist.
probably a ton with drag nights but exclusively drag seems unlikely.
Like there are a bunch of bars that have air hockey, and ping pong and Pac Man and stuff, and some dude was like, yeah that's cool and all but I want to open a Pac Man bar that caters exclusively to the subset of the bar gamer community that loves them some Pac Man.

You see places, but I've yet to try any. Largely because they are all Indian-Pakistani-Thai-ArbitaryAsianCountry places rather than just Indian. Plus, with the general non-tolerance of spices, I can't imagine the food being anything but bland. Maybe one day I'll try. It's possible.

Non-tolerance of spices?
The French don't have spicy food. It's really funny. Their "hot" sauces are more of the sweet chilli variety. It's an odd gap, I've taken my girlfriend for a curry when we've been in the UK and it's always quite tricky to find her something that really hasn't had a chilli near it.

Sweet chili sauce is best sauce. Thanks to Tijuana Flats I don't think I can eat nachos anymore without it.

Took friends to Indian food for their first time a few days ago. Yet more converts.
Yep. I can go with that.

Thai/general-southeast-asia and kebab places are more common.

You can find Tabasco in the British food section of a large super market. I've just run out myself though, which is a shame.
