AB Foods buys curry firm Patak's
"Patak's employs 650 people at its Wigan factory
"Food giant Associated British Foods is to buy the Patak's Indian food business from its founders, the Pathak family.
Under the deal, AB Foods will take on the company's entire business and brand - except for its operations in India.
Based in Wigan, Lancashire, Patak's was set up by the Pathak family in 1957 and it is thought to supply about 75% of the UK's Indian restaurants."
Could it be that many of our favourite restaurants and takeaways achieve 'the taste' by using prepared curry pastes and other ingredients from 'trade size' cans and jars which they simply add to their curry gravy?
Discuss!
