Anyone ever tried Nepalese food? There are three restaurants in Aberdeen and there is one in particular called "8848" which I have read very good reviews about. Will probably take the folks there when my brother is across. The 8848 refers to the height of Mount Everest in metres.
The guy who owns 8848 used to manage my local ruby-house in Edmonton (regularly frequented by Ronnie Wood, Jimmy White and Frank Bruno), and I can confirm he knows how to get the best out of his business. The Aberdeen restaurant is superb, but if you're unsure about the food, try heading out for a lunch to begin with; you'll be able to try a variety of dishes for less than a tenner per person. A large percentage of 'Indian' restaurants are in fact run and staffed by Nepalese and Pakistani folk, so the food is not much different than your average ruby. The Nepalese tend to favour the Balti method, though, as opposed to Tandoori and Madras.
Balti Yes the people of Nepal stick to an ancient recipe passed down through generations since it's conception during the 1960's in Birmingham.
I used to have great currys from a Nepalese place in Putney when I lived there. I wouldn't eat out of the 8848 though, I can't be ****ed with that metric pish, they should change it to 29,029
Durbar Westbourne Grove near Nottinghill is very good also Spice Nutriment near Brighton Station is nice but take away only.
I think it was on QI that the Balti was invented in GB for ****y southern palate's cooked in a little pan and served in it.
I'm old fashioned and like Imperial myself. Some things I use metric but not many. However I would not say I had a 304.8 cm length cock.
There are far more Ghurkas in the Indian army than the British one. Just thought I would let you know that. They are good ****s though.
You silly boob, Nathan. Food has been cooked and served in Balti bowls since the 15th century. Nepalese restaurateurs tend to use the mainstream styles of cooking because of the success and popularity of said styles. Don't rely on Wikipedia for facts.
