London: Empire on the Plate

Season 8 Episode 804 | 26m 50s

London’s Asian food culture is inseparable from the history of the British Empire. Danielle Chang moves through Chinatown, Brick Lane, and beyond to trace how tea, curry spices, and peppers arrived through trade and colonial rule, and how migrants adapted those ingredients into everyday food. From legacy restaurants to new voices, she explores who gets to tell these stories today.
