   “Peter, after the manner of man at the breakfast table, had allowed half his kedgeree to get cold and was sniggering over a letter.”

   “Kedgeree was the invention of the British in colonial India, but was inspired by khichuri, a more ancient dish of rice and lentils, so here I’ve reinstated the pulses in the form of mung dal and peas: an Indian dish, adapted by the British, and changed again by an Indian living in Britain.”
