Have you ever had British Chinese food? Why does it look so dry? Why do they put curry on French fries and call it "a Chinese?" Why does it look like the only flavour is a hint of black pepper? What is a "pork ball" and where does it come from?

so have i faggot, you're not special for having got some curry sauce with a chinese and also having eaten a katsu curry before.
chinese curry sauce is the cheapest slop possible, katsu curry sauce tends to be richer

It's a roughly spheroid item made from the meat of a pig. You probably could have figured this out from the name.

Unfortunately true, chips always feel like they're consistently undercooked aside from the rare few then end up actually being crispy.

I'd like to distance myself from the others in my country by saying that anyone who gets chips & curry with their chinese food needs pushing into the deepest darkest abyss with their entire family.
