Incidently, I didn't know that Bombay Duck (Dak) had been banned by the EU a few years ago, then the ban was lifted.

Indians might not use the name 'Bombay Potatoes', anyway - I think it's something like 'Aloo Dum'. They're probably not that concerned over what we call the dish - it's small potatoes to them.
We used to sell Bombay Duck (a dried, salted fish) in my Dad's shop yeeears ago, and I've not seen it since - I'd be surprised if anyone does eat it as it's supposed to have been banned by the EC.
