Balti? Not unless it's Brummie

[gmb45]

balti shite about right coming from brumington


CURRY houses could be banned from serving up 'balti' - unless they are in Birmingham.

The city wants to 'trademark' the name, claiming since the dish was invented there it needs the same protection as Wensleydale or Champagne.

It would mean Indian restaurants elsewhere having to call the spicy stews something else.

The city council, which is behind the move, insisted there was "merit" to any plan that benefited local people or firms.

Baltis were first created in the city's Sparkhill area in the 1970s.

Stupid idiots a "balti" is actualy the metal bowl its served in.
You cant really trademark a piece of cookware.

Not to mentiaon"balti" is also a region in Pakistan and the language spoken in the region.
So you have a region a langiuage and a "cooking bucket" all of which take precedent over some dumbass brummie with a twig up his ass.

Then again, i cant seem to fly my national flag over my national archive so the whole place is crazy enough that logic wont make a dent.
