    Agreed.

    It's a little known fact that the Biryanhi comes from Bury.
    The workers in the local cotton mills were Indian & could afford very little meat - so had to bulk up their food with rice.
    They spent all day making yarn - in "Birry" ... thus, the "Birry-yarny" was born.

    I didn't make any of that up.

    nope.... it came out because...

    I was born in West Yorkshire (ie hemsworth) and they have a slightly different way of pronouncing some vowels.... likewise in South Yorkshire..

    Put a mix of them together, and somehow I pronounce some of them completely different to either..


    That was the serious answer..

    But I could be just different anyway
