My parents made rabbit stew when I was growing up, it’s certainly traditional English food

I agree completely, but I'm trying to understand what this is all about:

I have over the years noticed that our cilinary herritage is slipping away. Now Britains national and favorite dish is a curry? I see more European dishes and ingredients appearing over the old traditional ingredients. We used to be fed on vegatables and home cooking such as a homemade meat pie. Rabbit stews etc. Is it the fact that people have less time to cook traditional recipes or is it that our tastes have altered?

I agree but not at the cost of our heritage. Bring back traditional English cuisine I say.

How long do we have to cook something before it becomes "traditional"? 50 years? 100? 200?

So rabbit stew is OK, but Coniglio alla Cacciatora isn't?

How does that work? And why?

We've had Indian Restaurants in this country for over 200 years, the first known published recipe for 'curry' dates back to the middle of the 18th century, and Mrs Beeton had a recipe for 'curry powder'. So is 'curry' traditional or not?

And I'm afraid this:

No not at all, I am talking about lovingly preparing and cooking with passion instead of throwing a few spices into a mish mash of ingredients that just tastes hot.

reads like a dismissal of entire cuisines written by someone who has never had, knows nothing about, and cares even less about, quality Indian food.

Chicken Tikka Massala?

Well ok technically it is Scottish, but it's a UK dish that the English have adopted and consume in large amounts.

And it's been introduced to India, where I believe it's become quite popular.

Considering the slagging off English food endured it's been good to see a rekindled interest in old recipes made with a modern method.

One wonders how long it will take before some people would allow them to call it 'traditional Indian cooking'?

My grandmother grew up eating rabbit as did her siblings. It was regular food for them. As a child she would skin them herself and probably shot or snared them herself too.

My Mum has a picture somewhere of My Gran aged 21 almost exactly 100 years ago with a 12 bore broke over one arm and a couple of bunnies by the ears.

Okay.

Yes life was different then. My Gran had 3 brothers and did as they did, they lived in the countryside too which I suspect had some bearing on their rabbit hunting.
