Brits bitten by basmati rice bug - India News and Travel Times Provides India-centric and other News and Features

Brits are trying out new groceries and experimenting with international cuisines more than they did ten years ago, a survey has revealed. According to the study for Morrisons, customers at grocery stores now prefer buying chilli sauce, basmati rice and balsamic vinegar to traditional items like pickle, long-grain rice and malt vinegar, reports the Scotsman. About 60 percent of the meals prepared after Christmas are expected to be spiced up with chilli sauce than pickle and a quarter of leftover turkey will be served with hummus instead of coleslaw.
