****ing hell Tonight on mastermind, specialist subject, "the ****ing obvious"... Yes. We know. We already have one smart arse on the thread, telling us what we already know and lecturing us, we don't need another one. People are simply talking about which curries they like, even if there's no such thing. Had goat curry once. Cooked by Gurkhas. In the middle of no where in the Falklands. They butchered the goat before cooking it (it was already dead). No idea where the **** they got the goat from, seemed rude asking. Was absolutely awesome. Quite spicy.
I've been using a takeaway on Holderness Road opposite Morrisons for a couple of years. RAJ SPICE - It's bloody spot on all the time. Monday to Thursday they do a four course take away for £9.99 1st Course - Poppadoms and dips/salad 2nd Course - I usually choose Chicken Pakora or Tandoori Chicken Starter 3rd Course - Any main curry of your choice - Usually Lamb tikka Vindaloo and Pilau Rice 4th Course - Black Forest Gateux - great for cooling the gob. The bloated content feeling after all that lot passes when the world falls out your arse the next day. Highly recommend this takeaway though, its superb.
Glad to see you have re-established contact in darkest Dorset.Whereabouts are you? Great place Dorset, could happily live in anyone of a few places down there.
Was a few miles north of Bournemouth, now I'm further north and west. Near Wales. It's been a good day apart from the driving which I hate. Home tomorrow after a 3 hour drive. Yay! Wish I'd had time to go for a paddle, as you say, it's very lovely down there. Lot more lumpy round here than I'm used to as well lol.
We have just got back from Mauritius also. We had a mixture of curries but my favourite dish was fish Mousaka.I can't begin to work out how that originates
That delicacy passed me by... sounds ok though? What did you think of the Phoenix beer? I liked it at first but got a bit bored with it, then made a strange switch to bottled Guinness!
Preferred it on draught rather than bottled. We had another local beer in our hotel for the first few days then it dried up.Think it was Marlin.It was better than Phoenix
Was it the 5% beer or Blue Marlin or Phoenix Special Brew? Don't like lager but enjoyed a Chang rather than a Singha the other day..
At a 1980 conference in Trivandrum in Kerala, we were treated to an outdoor buffet-style feast. Although my company had provided plenty of survival hints beforehand, I was (very!!) surprised to find that the innocuous-looking milky pudding-type stuff was ... erm ... rather warmer than a Bunsen flame, while the more fearsome-looking dishes were mainly mild and surprisingly delicious. They were mostly based on goat meat -- fabulously tasty. That 1980 trip to India was probably the most profoundly vile experience in my life. Don't know whether things there have improved much since then.
My ex-brother-in-law, a well-known Yorkshire broadcaster then married to my wife's sister, was eating out with friends in a top-end Chinese restaurant in Leeds. This was about 1983. He was eating some kind of chicken dish, and suddenly choked on a bone. His dining buddy, a veterinary surgeon, managed to extract the bone, and later took it away for identification. It was an Alsatian bone. 100% -- no if's or but's. A police check shortly afterwards found dog and cat parts in the bins behind the restaurant. Can't remember the end result, but knowing him he probably, rightly, put them out of business.
