Brum wins 
Eds, my misses is a Mental Health Nurse, and I'm afraid she says you "have gone to Egypt" or as it better known, you are in de-nile
I'll settle for Bradford coming a close second, its the Manchester lads who still insist that their city is the best, poor fools that the are, that concern me
When I first moved to the Valleys back in 89, the curry served up was slops, I remember ordering naan and the guy gave me a deep fried pitta bread, the process of improvement has been painstakingly slow, and its still very hit and miss in Aberdare and yet some of the locals rave about it, I guess it depends on what your used to
Cardiff, thats a different matter, there are some good curry houses there

LEICESTER IS THE CURRY CAPITAL.
2nd largest centre of ethnic diversity outside london, extremely large indo-asian contingent.

Having toured the country and eaten a curry in pretty much every major city of the UK I'd have to say Bradford wins for curry in the UK.
Followed by Leicester, then Manchester and then Birmingham.

I'd have to say your completely wrong but it matters not in the scheme of things.
Back to butter, I've email the Ballentyne company to ask if there are any UK sellers
I'm interested in getting about 10 cans if anyone knows where I can get them. If there's enough interest it could be worth getting a supplier for a group purchase.
Rik, your love of MRMRBP (mechanically recovered meat related by products) and trans fatty acids is admirable. what is your view of ranchers microwavable burgers, fray bentos pies and heinz tinned puddings?
It would appear that there is no one in the UK importing or producing tinned butter.. The Red Feather brand from New Zealand looks good and is selling like hotcakes in the USA, surely someone's missing a trick here... If it is possible to get a shipment for a reasonable price who would be interested in a group purchase.
We're talking butter folks, not Curry.

As I write this I'm eating an out of date can of Kraft Processed Cheddar Cheese. A bit rubbery and salty, not bad though.

In ancient times in Ireland butter was preserved by burying it in peat bogs. People still find the stuff every now and then. The oxygen-less and acidic conditions stop it from going rancid. A few brave souls have sampled it and said it tasted foul but they lived to tell the tale.
I guess you could make your own preserved butter by filling one of those resealable glass jars that are used for jams and pickles. Heat it up, but not enough to burn the milk solids and then seal the jar. The salty butter should have a pretty good shelf life. Isn't butter used as a preservative and air-tight seal for pates and potted shrimp?
Happy trails...torc.

You have to be very careful canning butter - America for example does not reccomend it (and they can far more than we do). It can be done (indeed I have a pictorial of me doing it and have eaten the butter more than 12 months after canning with no refrigeration) but getting it wrong can lead to botulism. Thats a mistake you get to make only once!

Rik,
Not exactly in the UK but they deliver TO the UK from inside the EU. Any size order for less than 10 euros delivery

Also tinned cheese, cake and bread (of all things)
Hope that helps people interested in such things (the butter also comes with a clip on lid for re-use. No refrigeration needed - handy for car camping or canoe camping methinks)

Cheers Red
need to build up some cash in my paypal slush fund, once done an order will go in
In the meantime, I'm setting off for an overnight camping trip to reproof a couple of cotton tents IF it stops raining that is (still camping though)
