The Wikipedia article is irrelevant. that’s like claiming “alot” isn’t a word because the dictionary says so even tho dictionary creators point out themselves that dictionaries don’t set the rules, they record usage

カツ is clearly used as “breaded and deep fried”. It is not used as “cutlet”

Can post 1000s of examples or You can just google it

You can rage all you want that it’s incorrect but it’s in common use

Your comment isn't making sense. I don't understand how you reached the conclusion that カレーパン itself has to be the katsu. The common denominator in all of those is a standalone pork cutlet used somewhere, either flavored with curry sauce and sandwiched or enclosed inside the buns then fried again. All カレーパン with curry filling is by default battered and deep fried. Non-fried カレーパン are very rare exceptions, and noting the fact that one is fried don't make sense.

You're also ignoring problematic British use of "katsu" incorrectly applied[1] to the Japanese interpretation of RN curry, which has been a bit of an ongoing issue for a while(along Brits trying to stick parboiling method for short grain rice that completely ruins it). From [2]:

  > Katsu curry (...) is a Japanese dish consisting of tonkatsu (pork cutlet) served with Japanese rice and curry. 
  > In Japan, the name refers exclusively to a dish of curry served with a cutlet.

This is just BBC trying to pull its "fish means potatoes" like it always does. There are no more lines inbetween to read here.

None of this really matters - it's a BBC article written for British audiences in British English. The goal is to communicate with the audience. I think the only clear term for British people would be "Katsu Curry Sauce", or perhaps "Katsu Sauce".

		I guess they can do that as a matter of fact, but then this is going to continue until they quit, along all those weird beef Brits have with Japanese food and culture in general - they have multiple for inexplicable reasons.
