Posted in: Top recommendations for heat-and-eat curry in Japan See in context
You can get boil in the bag curries from about ¥80 if you're not choosy. Made in Japan variants invariably have MSG (look for アミノ酸等 in the ingredients). Thai-made curries are often additive free, but include chicken.
MTR has excellent additive-free, made in India vegetarian curries.
Many of London's 'unlicensed' (to sell alcohol) curry houses don't mind BYO, but ask first. Brick Lane is great for layers of immigrant history - its mosque was previously a synagogue, and a Huguenot church before that. It's great place for 24 hr bagels, too, but if you want an authentic Indian experience in London, go west to Southall.

Cutting public borrowing and many areas of spending were cornerstones of Conservative economic policy when the party won power from Labour in 2010 after the financial crisis. This approach fell out of favor later in the decade, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he is no fan of austerity.
BoJo playing nice to the cheap seats, as always.
Austerity delivered Brexit.
Austerity 2 will cement Scottish independence, Irish reunification, and a one party state.
