  • For the record, I don't align with Morrisey's views.

    I do reckon a restaurant in a music venue, serving an Indian menu based on some of The Smiths song names isn't likely to propagate his right wing messages very far. I might be wrong. I'd even guess Morrisey may not approve given his views, but I'm in no position to ask him.

    As for skin colour of restaurant owner vs country of origin of food served, where do you draw the line @kl? Is this acceptable?

    Should I stop making the dhal recipe from Nigel Slater's book?

    Any person of any colour can make and serve whatever food they please. But don't you reckon a white guy serving Indian food ought to think a little bit less about puns and a bit more about why linking it to the For Britain supporter who wrote Bengali in Platforms isn't a great look?

  • I'd have to ask him if he'd given it any thought, if I get to go eat there I will.

    As an indie kid of the 90's who listened to & enjoyed the smiths back then, my first thoughts were back to those songs referenced by the menu, not the right wing views of Morrisey. I guess many others are looking at the menu in the same way.

    Perhaps you could contact him and ask directly too? He's @naanthis on twitter so not hard to contact.
