I've heard that the land area is about 30% of the total, so B has to be the answer.

A and C aren't British (I don't think). B was on "Dancing with the Stars" IIRC and isn't British either. That leaves D.

B: Chicken tikka masala

She blew me away! She knew this because she makes it all the time! I would have been sorely tempted by C -- it was chicken mole rojo, not mojo. I have no idea what Chicken chimichurri is. I guess they thought they could put it at $5,000 because of this: If there's one dish guaranteed to be on every Indian restaurant menu, it's chicken tikka masala. Having seen this, definitely ATA.
