Mislabelling

It seems that you don't just have a curry anymore, to be modern and hip you need to have a katsu curry, but what exactly is it?

It certainly isn't this:

A curry is a curry is a curry; however, Japanese curry is typically quite thick and sweeter than your standard Indian. It's still a curry though.

A curry becomes a katsu curry when it has a katsu placed in top of it, which is a breaded and fried cutlet of some meat, either whole or cut into strips, not simply anything smothered in a curry sauce. A bit like this.

It certainly isn't mackerel doused in a curry sauce in a tin, without a single panko crumb in sight. Call me picky, if you like, but a name is a name for a reason. I call it katsu-washing.....
