An Indian restaurant in London has come under fire for marking "white ppl" on the receipt for an order of mild curry, The Mirror reports. Stuart Lynn, 44, says he was shocked to discover the receipt that came with his takeout order of venison curry, which he claims is a "slur suggesting white people couldn't handle a hot curry," The Mirror writes.

"It implies we can't deal with strong curries. I do like a hot curry sometimes. I just fancied a mild one for a change. I thought it was very rude of them." [The Mirror]
