Curry Chicken or Chicken Curry
Sup guys blametruth here bringing you another blog. When you go to a restaurant featuring curry specialities what do you offer? Perhaps curry chicken or is it chicken curry. This may not seem like an important topic but to a guy who loves to eat it is. The problem choosing the appropriate title. When you refer to that famous curry meal as chicken curry you are implying that the chicken is the seasoning and the curry is the meat. However, anyone with some form of education knows this is false. For instance you wouldn't call barbecue chicken, chicken barbecue because it sounds ridiculous. However it is fairly common to name that delicious curry meal as chicken curry. How can this be? Which takes preference the seasoning or the meal. No matter what it may I truly don't care as long as I have a plate of CURRY CHICKEN!!

I dunno man, one must obey the rules of language when translating stuff like this and beside that, shouldn't the main ingredient of the dish be the first thing in the name?
