Kedgeree is a British dish of rice mixed with fish and eggs. The fish is often smoked haddock, the eggs are usually hard-boiled and chopped, and the rice is often cooked with a little curry powder, butter, and parsley. People in Britain used to eat it a lot for breakfast, especially in older, rather grand homes; you still see it at hotels and in , though it is not everyday food now. It feels British, a bit old-fashioned, and a little special — not street food. The idea came from India: a rice-and-lentil comfort dish was changed in British kitchens into fish, rice, and eggs. It is not the same as fried rice, and it is not a curry with gravy; it is a dry, fluffy mix you eat with a fork.
