It is difficult to imagine an Indian meal without papads/poppadoms. It is similarly difficult to imagine that one of the best manufacturers of these is reaching its fiftieth anniversary. Here.
The joke? Rowan Atkinson did 'The Indian Waiter Sketch' a long time ago also. This sketch remains one of my favourites but the link provided is a little flaky. If you can find a better version (or just the original audio) I can truly recommend this. In it he plays the role of an Indian waiter in a restaurant after all the pubs and bars have closed and a drunken crowd arrive. It is pure Atkinson magic. In an Indian accent he says something like "You want poppadoms. I see. You want me to poppa-dem on the table there. Very funny, sir. It is the first time I have heard that joke." (As an aside) 'In the last five minutes'.
