A man who ordered a very mild Indian curry at a restaurant in Southall, London was furious when he received a receipt at the end of his meal which was marked, "VERY MILD, WHITE PPL."
Based on his comments, it would appear that Stuart Lynn considered this blatantly prejudiced view an affront to both his race and masculinity, not to mention a judgement that was statistically unsound.
"I was not happy at all—it said 'white people' next to my curry," he told The Telegraph. "It implies we can't deal with strong curries. I do like a hot curry sometimes. I just fancied a mild one for a change. I thought it was very rude of them."
However, according to the owner of the restaurant, Ruby Kandasamy, the note was not a racial slur. "Under white ppl, we don't mean white people, but a white sauce made from milk, single cream, coconut milk, and spices we add to our dishes when a curry is requested mild," he clarified. "'Ppl' means 'milk.'"
Still, he added that the restaurant intends to amend this abbreviation in order to avoid confusion in the future as the last thing one wants is to feel discriminated against when ordering a nice comforting curry.
