So do country farm people in Canada. And grandkids! Toast and jam is just
so boring in comparison. I often make not too sweet oatmeal crumbles
and bettys for breakfast... way tastier than porridge.

           Chicken tikka masala
 
  Tikka or Teeka means a piece of meat, such as a cutlet.
  
  The popular dish chicken tikka is made of chicken cutlets in a
  marinade. A westernised version, chicken tikka masala, is a widely
  popular dish in the United Kingdom.
  
  The marinade used in the preparation of chicken tikka can also be
  called tikka. It is made from a mixture of aromatic spices and dahi
  (the Indian word for plain yoghurt).
  
  Chicken tikka is a Pakistani/Indian origin dishes made by baking
  small pieces of chicken which have been marinated in spices and
  yogurt. It is traditionally made on skewers in a tandoor (Indian
  clay oven) and is usually boneless. The literal meaning of tikka is
  "pieces of chicken".
  
  The Punjabi version, though, is barbecued on red-hot coal and does
  not always contain boneless pieces. The pieces are regularly brushed
  with ghee (clarified butter), which gives its taste, while being
  continuously fanned. It is typically eaten with a green coriander &
  tamarind chutney, served with onion rings and lemons or used in a
  chicken tikka masala.
  
  A chicken tikka sizzler is a dish where Chicken Tikka is served on a
  heated plate and is served with onions. The dish is also known and
  eaten in Afghanistan, though the Afghan version (generally like
  Persian and Middle Eastern dishes) is less spicy compared to the
  Indian version.
  
  Chicken tikka masala is a westernised Indian dish based on baked
  chicken chunks (chicken tikka) cooked in a curry sauce. It has been
  hailed as "Britain's true national dish" but is popular throughout
  the world.
  
  Chicken tikka masala is chicken tikka, chunks of chicken marinated
  in spices and yogurt then baked in a tandoor oven, in a masala
  ("mixture of spices") sauce. There is no standard recipe for chicken
  tikka masala; a survey found that of 48 different recipes the only
  common ingredient was chicken. The sauce usually includes tomato and
  either cream or coconut cream and various spices. The sauce or
  chicken pieces (or both) are often coloured orange or red with food
  dyes.
  
  Other tikka masala dishes replace chicken with lamb, fish or paneer.
  
  The origins of chicken tikka masala are disputed. At least one
  source has the dish originating in New Delhi in 1947, but it also
  has been suggested that chicken tikka masala originated from the
  kitchens of Bangladeshi chefs in the UK, with many restaurants
  throughout the country claiming to have invented it. The recipe's
  age is also unproven, with claims ranging from the 1970s back to the
  1950s.
  
  A 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 improvised a sauce from tomato soup, yogurt and spices.
  
  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.
  
  Chicken tikka masala is now served in restaurants around the globe,
  and a UK survey claimed it is the country's most popular restaurant
  dish. One in seven curries sold in the UK is a chicken tikka.
  
  (Syncretism consists of the attempt to reconcile disparate or
  contradictory beliefs, often while melding practices of various
  schools of thought. The term may refer to attempts to merge and
  analogize several originally discrete traditions.)
  
  See also:
  
  General Tso's chicken, another syncretic dish seen as symbolic of
  its cuisine.
  
  Curry chicken, similar type of chicken and spice dish.
  
  Spaghetti and meatballs, a never-heard-of dish in Italy, yet eaten
  prepared and served in many self-styled "Italian" restaurants in
  North America.
