What country does the word "curry" come from?

Level: Intermediate

The Encyclopedia Britannica has some great info about curry dishes, where they come from and why it is called "curry" in the first place. Simply type "curry" in the search bar - the first few results will be the most helpful.

(You can access the Encyclopedia Britannica through the EPIC databases at school or in some public libraries.)

HOT TIP: To get to the EPIC databases you will need a password from your school librarian first.  Or, you can log on to AnyQuestions.co.nz between 1 and 6pm Monday to Friday, and one of the librarians can help you online.

If you have discovered which language or country "curry" comes from but would like to know more, just search again for that language or country in the Encyclopedia and you will find separate articles about them.

HOT TIP: Another place to look is Wikipedia which has great coverage of many topics, including curry. But you need to be aware that this information is contributed by lots of different people. If you are using this site, it always pays to check the information against that on other sites and in books from the library.
