Glasgow claims that it invented Chicken Tikka Masala ...

... and has called for the dish to be given Protected Designation of Origin Status.

ETA: More silliness:
I was leafing through my Amazon recommendations recently, and saw that it recommended "Blacakadder: the complete collection" on DVD. Fair enough, I thought; I'm a big Blackadder fan. Then I saw that it was being recommended to me because I owned Pevsner on the buildings of Gloucestershire. WTF???

So there's going to be a turf war with Brum about this is there?

Brum certainly claims the Balti ("Bring these Animals a Lousy Take-away Indian"), but I hadn't heard that it claimed the Tikka Masala. Still, as one who doesn't eat a lot of spicy (or mustardy ;-) ) food, I do not claim to be an expert on this, despite my eight years there.

I tihnk it's a general "let's grab what we can, while it is (might be) up for grabs" ;)

I think that is just a rumour, it's the name of the implement it is cooked in (and hence why other places are saying no you can't have 'Balti' for yourselves because it isn't referring to the meal itself, let alone any other considerations).
