o/t Curry

[its been fun thanks :)]

We were in Sicily for 2 months, last summer, and spent some time staying in a farm cottage after I did a deal with the owner.

There was a field of donkeys complete with adorable little foals!

Mrs Smug was delighted and would buy apples from the market to feed them.

I knew exactly why they were there but I managed to convince her that it was a donkey sanctuary.

Then one night the farmer invited us to eat with his family ....... I'm not kidding mate, we walked in and it was stew

awkward mate -take it you drunk copious amounts of wine and pretended to eat - that's what I did when my wife's best friend prepared & cooked for me 'Pirohy' on a misunderstanding that I loved it -its a Slovak national dish that I detest- it makes me gag

That may explain why Andy Carroll thinks he's 'tenderising' his girlfriends ......

I didn't know he was in a relationship with Steven Taylor.

I'm afraid I made an 'ass' of mesel and legged it.

I'd have gritted me teeth and gagged it down but I couldn't do it to Mrs Smug, she'd named them all ffs

The bloke wasn't best pleased and we had to leave the next morning ..... he did all that 'cursing my household' **** and spat on the floor in front of me. Shame, the cottage was at the far end of an olive grove and 30 steps from the beach, never mind.

I tend to go for Pasanda nowadays although I do try a Nawabi now n then.
The Bengal Dream, near where dirty book centre was, always does canny curries.
Asiana is canny but they tend to try n rush you.

In my boyhood my granda kept rabbits & pigeons.
We'd play with the rabbits & on Sunday mornings he'd throttle a couple & we'd have them for dinner.

I like a dansak. I'm past the days of really hot ones where its more of a challenge than enjoyment.

I was basically gonna type this, but you've saved me the bother. Dansak from my local has just the right combination of heat and taste. By the end of it I still have a sweat on but I'm not suffering. Whenever I go I convince myself I will try something different but always end up getting...Chicken Tikka Dansak with Nut Pilau, a Keema Naan a two Stuffed Paratha's!!!!

I do like certain Indian curries but a lot of the Indian takeaways around my way only do pilau rice which I'm not a big fan of.
Fried rice I love but not many do it, that's why I prefer Chinese.

House special fried rice & house special curry.
Lovely.

As it seems quiet on here thought I'd ask a question about food - Curry in particular what's the best you've eaten? I prefer nowadays to cook & create my own curry from grinding the spices and making the sauce from scratch, haven't eaten in a Asian Restaurant in donkey's years plus I'm not keen on the ready made sauces from jars.
My favourite meat is to cook is lamb tend to go for medium/ mild flavours (favourite being pasanda)- hardly ever make real hot/spicy, my missus tends make the nann (Peshwari) as I'm useless at making them.
Incidently the best I've eaten was in a Indian type of cafe in London in the (1980's )near Liverpool street station if I recall- it was basic place with no frills had formica tables the food served in bowls and you were given a spoon- but the curries was ****ing superb especially after a couple of pints.

Out of curiosity which Asian restaurant is the best in this area ?

If you like to make your own mate, try the hairy bikers vindaloo and just cut back on the chillies. I tried it and it's lush, not as hot as a vindaloo to be honest but very tasty mate. Give it a go, it's worth it.
