    Hiya Dara, I've never had Indian Tea before, I have to say, Americanisms that annoy British People is going up 100 views by the week, I've still only watched it twice, when I was in New York I thought it was time to get up at 3AM, for the first couple of days, I'm glad your back, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

    I think the jam on the dessert is mixed fruit consisting of Strawberries, Litchis and Red Plum which makes a naturally coloured deep red jam.

    Dara & Ian. Yes it’s called Tiffin. Your pronunciation of Memsahib’s. isn’t quite right. Unfortunately its not phonetic. The sahib is more like sarb. A Memsahib was often referred to the English leader or man in charge and often sounded like “Memsarb”.
    In Bombay and other cities the locals have deliveries of lunch either hot home made or bought in, boxes or tins called Tiffin Boxes.
    A great video however. Hope you liked spicy food.
