Boris Johnson was presented with a copy of a guide to London written by Mahatma Gandhi during his visit to the Indian independence leader’s ashram in Gujarat, PA Media reports. PA says:
The prime minister remarked that “vegetarianism costs far less than meat-eating” as he read today from the book designed to be a guide for how Indians could manage in London in the late 19th century.
While flying to India for his two-day visit, Johnson told reporters on the plane his own favourite curry is lamb rogan josh, rather than a meat-free variety.
