I personally am done with London for the next 2-3 years, but my next
goal is Manchester/Liverpool if I do visit
England again.
Only regrets was not eating some Carribean Food. But I made sure to eat Nandos, Greggs and have some Indian takeaway.
I also always try to take in some Indian food, but also true English fare as well. Fish & Chips is a favorite. A good Sunday Roast at a country pub isn't far behind.

My goal was to finish some of the places I did not visit before such
as Brixton, Camden, Canary Warf, Greenwich and I even tried visiting
Richmond (where Ted Lasso was filmed).

I'm going in June to London, then Portsmouth to visit my inlaws and
the countryside to look for potential villages to retire to. Looking
forward to a proper beer, a curry, fish and chips and maybe a pastie somewhere along the line. --- SBBSecho 3.20-Win32

Won't you need to go to Wales for a proper one of those? ;)
Michigan's Upper Peninsula has some pretty good ones.

I am so ready to get a decent Indian. They just can't make them properly here in the US. I find them to be very hit or miss, mostly miss.
I remember I was really wanting Indian one day so my girl friend (wife now) and I went out to a resturant and bought around $100 of food (In 2007) came home to really enjoy some good food. It was so terrible we threw the entire thing away.
This kept me from eating indian for years and years. To be honest, I'm not sure I've tried it since. :D
I've had some Indian food from some restaurants that's just really spicy with a flavor (or aftertaste?) I didn't really like, but other
restaurants where I think the food is very flavorful and delicious. It seems to vary depending on who made it.

Where I am, there are a good number of Indian restaurants that are owned and staffed by people from India.. I'm not sure how much more proper you can get. Though, IMO I feel like it's still hit or miss. There's some

Thinking that it is Cornwall that is supposed to be pastie renown.
True Yooper Pasties are excellent. Personal preference is Jean-Kays
Pasties in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

There's some restaurants I really like, and some not so much. Maybe
it's due to regional differences in recipes from India?

I thought you went to Cornwall for a pastie, and Wales for sheep :P
I have had several good ones during my trips there, and to Northern Wisconsin along the Lake, and a few that were not bad, but so far
never a bad one. ;)
Some places, even when run by Indians, do "Americanize" their recipes some, I have been told by my Indian friends and co-workers. I think that means they are not as spicy and/or the presentation is different.

Are they called something else in Wisconsin? PastRies maybe? The only 'pasties' I've ever heard of, strippers put over their nipples if they can't go fully nude. :D

I think you are correct. Both are known (at least to me) for them, but
it is indeed Cornwall that is famous for them. Miners in both areas used to pack them into the mines for lunch.

I don't know that I have ever had one but, in parts of the UP, the
pasties supposedly have a "Finnish" touch to them. Not 100% on what that means, other than the ingredients are different.

Hawaii, now there was some killer Thai food.
i used to think their were pronunciation differences.. there may well
be, but i can't find evidence of it on wikipedia at least.

They're generally Pah-stees here, occasionally you'll hear some knob
trying to call them past-ees though, with a short a...
I have also heard them pronounced that way. Maybe "past-ee" means it is past its sell-by date. :D
