Guess which famous Indian dish was born this way:

On a typical dark, wet Glasgow night, a bus driver coming off shift came in and ordered a
chicken curry. He sent it back to the waiter saying it's dry. At that time, the chef’s Dad had
an ulcer and was enjoying a plate of tomato soup. So he said “Why not put some tomato
soup into the curry with some spices.” They sent it back to the table and the bus driver
absolutely loved it. He and his friends came back again and again, and soon it was on the
menu.

The history of X may go back more than 8,000 years. The oldest known X were created on
the Island of Crete. Wine had not yet been created. X was the drink of the Age of Gold,
and the word for drunk in classical Greek remained "honey-intoxicated." . The nectar and
ambrosia of the Greek gods are often thought of as draughts of fermented honey.

In Norse mythology, X was the favorite drink of the Norse gods and heroes, e.g. in
Valhalla, and the X of the giant (Jotun) Suttung, made from the blood of Kvasir, was the
source of wisdom and poetry.

The dish X derives its name from the latin word Lamella, meaning “thin surface” or
“membranous fold”. In France, it was called lemele, meaning “knife blade” due to its extremely
fine width. However, over the years, this dish has transformed into quite a fluffy delicacy,
enjoyed over the world with a wide variety of added ingredients.

This dish X found a surge in popularity on the internet after a particular phrase involving X was
made famous by a cartoon show. This phrase “Y” was supposed to be French for a certain
version of the dish, however people argued that it was grammatically incorrect. Nevertheless
the phrase Y remains perhaps the most famous line of the cartoon show.

X is an anime television series produced by Toei Animation. Some of the characters of the
anime derive their names from common food items such as carrot, radish, a type of
cabbage and japanese bread. The creator wanted kids watching the anime to derive the
vegetable from the names of the characters so that they would feel that “vegetables are
cool as well”.

The show X went on to become hugely popular among kids and was ranked “78th best
anime” by IGN and “50th best cartoon in the world” by Wizard’s Magazine.

● Gaegogi Muchim – Steamed X meat, Korean leeks and vegetables mixed with spices
● Gaesoju – Mixed drink containing X meat and other Chinese medicine ingredients such as ginger,

The above are all dishes originated in the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Around 10% of the current South Korean
population still consumes X meat regularly.

During the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, the South Korean government urged its citizens not to consume X
meat in order to avoid bad publicity during the games This paved the way for Korean animal activists group in
South Korea.

However, as many Koreans believed consuming X meat was a part of their tradition and was necessary to keep their
culture alive, the government in 2008, instead of banning it, passed a law to add X to the group of livestocks whose
slaughter is regulated by law.

The 1982 film starring Sanjeev Kapoor and Deven Verma in double roles, was titled X by
director Gulzar, as the film was “in parts sweet, sour and delectable, just like the fruit X.”
All characters were innocent and destiny played the main role in bringing all characters to
one place, which paved the way for clean and crisp comedy in Bollywood.

This movie was based on Shakespeare’s play Y, which is his shortest and one of his most
farcical comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from slapstick and mistaken
identity, in addition to puns and wordplay.

This food product is not entirely what it is sold as to be. The main ingredient is chicken
but, according to a test by FDA (USA), this dish consists of only 50% actual chicken,
while the rest of the ingredients are synthetic chemical compounds including dimethyl
polysiloxane, which is also used in breast implants to make them softer.

Even after this report, the product is still widely sold in the USA and is one of the highest
selling products of a franchise.

The British tried to dispel the rumours about their new paper-wrapped cartridges
that were greased with cow and pig fat. But soon they discovered that X were
being hand-delivered from village to village. Even though there was no
conclusive evidence, they suspected the X were some kind of a code, containing
information about the cartridges and was heralding a call to revolt against
colonial rule.

This was known as the famous X Movement of 1857.

X's last meal consisted of spaghetti with a light sauce (though some reporters say it might
have been lasagna) as he wanted a simple meal. That day, X had finally realised that he
had lost in achieving his life's aim and spent the day talking about dog breeding methods
and "how lipstick was made from sewer grease." Shortly after the meal, X and his wife,
whom X had married less than 40 hours earlier, went into a private room and took their
own lives.

This incident, famous in world history, ironically took place in a bunker (a room meant for
safety and protection) in the city of Y.

X cut is a technique in butchery, similar to butterflying, in which a thick piece of
meat is extended into a thin one with a larger surface area. A series of parallel
cuts are made from alternating sides of a roast almost all the way through,
creating "hinges" which allow the meat to unfold into a long, flat, piece.

X is also a musical instrument which produces sound based on the phenomenon

of compression and expansion of air in bellows (similar to the hinges created in
the cutting technique above).

X is an open, rimmed, pastry or sponge base, containing a sweet or savoury filling. Examples are the
quiche lorraine, custard tart, and the South African melktert.

X was first prepared by the Ancient Romans and brought to Europe by them. Since then, it has
travelled all around the world and become delicacies in Spain, France, Greece, Mexico, and America.
The Mexicans took X to a whole new level. They created coffee, chocolate, and even coconut flavors
and the recipes became popular not only in Mexico, but the rest of Latin America as well.

In 1996, in the popular sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Monica Geller prepared X to substitute for a birthday
cake much to the disapproval of the other characters. She described it as a traditional Mexican custard
dessert.

X and Lebanon have been two countries with deep roots in Arabic cooking styles and dishes. In October
2008, the Association of Lebanese Industrialists petitioned to the Lebanese Ministry of Economy and Trade
to request protected status from the European Commission for Y as a uniquely Lebanese food, similar to the
Protected Geographical Status rights held over regional food items by various European Union countries.

Fadi Abboud, president of the Lebanese Industrialists Association, stated that "People of X have usurped
several Lebanese and oriental products", claiming that Lebanon exported the first Y dish in 1959. This is in
turn received equal vocal disapproval from X, stating “Our version of Y is what has made the world aware of
its presence.”

In 2012, Australian filmmaker Trevor Graham released a documentary, Make Y Not War, on the political and
gastronomic aspects of Y.
