I have had a donner pizza from a takeaway and it was surprisingly nice Years ago as a student I worked in a takeaway and I came up with the house special Garlic bread, 12" pizza base with garlic butter, with donner meat and a skewer of chicken or lamb, with sauce. Sounds awful but was delicious and became a big hit Frozen donner sound awful though and I can only eat donner kebab if it's fresh and there.and then. Can't eat it the next morning etc
Anyway, basic rules for omelette are fold the eggs, don't beat them. Add a small amount of milk, season the eggs before they go in the pan and cook in hot bubbling butter. Use a spatula to move eggs about the pan and create a good brown base before adding your fillings. Put the open side under a hot grill if you want to make sure the eggs are done then fold and plate.
Chuck the full bottle into an empty coconut, add ice and various mixers and some other unknown alcohol. Drink through a straw till bladders.
Has the best dry curry ever last night in Bedford! Going back next week to make sure they didn't just fluke It!!
Your wife is Asian/Bengali right iirc? We Asians don't call all curries a curry. A curry for us is basically a stew so liquidy Dry dishes are bhuna and they are much the tastiest of dishes. handi dishes is what we would call any dish cooked in a pot, the pot is called handi Restaurants just made up names to make it look like there is loads of variety
Yes mate. She's Bengali. Tbh I don't pay much attention to watch she calls things. I just eat it. I know the restaurants make up the names, and she's not a fan of indian restaurants in general, but she loves the food in the Thali Tandoor in Bedford (good plug there - no relation). I've had to deal with some **** when we have gone to indian restaurants coz she's with a white guy. So you're right, it probably is bhuna by the way. Lush though!!!!!!!
A Sikh family own my local. They make the best curry I have ever eaten. All the curry houses where I live are either Pakistani or Bangladeshi. None match up at all. We even now get Sikh families coming from round the region to eat there too.
Am surprised by you getting grief. I have a few mates married to Asian women and they get treated better than me, my Mrs is white. In fact I helped out a local mosque imam with a building project and he asked Mr if I knew of a white convert for his wife's sister Its a big thing apparently and a guy I know has more than 1 wife. He is white, ex army and has a wife in stoke, a wife in London and more.
Used to have a great Nepalese curry house where I live, but they had to go back for family reasons. Wonderful dry dishes spicy dishes and lots of food done in the Tandoor. Much prefer this style of cooking than the sloppy based sauce dishes.
Proper punjabi cooking is hard to beat tbf. Asians didn't used to eat in Indian restaurants because the food was rubbish compared to home cooked. Places like Birmingham now do more authentic food to cater for Asians. Places where there is not many tend to serve up swill imho
She's had a few comments about her being with me which upsets her - she'd be a **** poker player - it's all over her face. I'm not an aggressive sort but I won't have her embarrassed or upset. Got the last manager outside to give him a hard time and it all got a bit all unnecessary!
Thing is, in my experience having worked in restaurants, the people being catered for at one time were basically pissheads. Most restaurants made their money in the early hours after pubs and clubs emptied out, to keep drinking and eat anything put in front of them Funny thing around out way, a mate of mine set up his own takeaway and really put effort in to his food. Went for top class donner, do not greasy Shiite, top of the range spices and such and made really authentic food. I ate there regularly but he had to revert to type because locals thought his good was "funny tasting" compared yo what they were used to. He shut down in the end Basically people preferred eating shiite as that was their norm
No need for that stuff mate, pisses me off I have had grief when out but never from the owners/workers. Odd customer here and there and once a middle aged woman at a car boot, of all places who decided to tell us mixed marriages were disgusting. Great thing was I didn't have to say anything because people around us gave her dogs abuse. She was wearing bright orange shell suit bottoms, which tickle me even now because they were the only disgusting thing on show
You get it wherever you go and I just don't understand it! I've had more than one of those experiences here but mainly in bars, they seem to think that foreigners can't speak their language. It usually all ends up with them having egg on their face as they cringe with embarrassment when they get a 'do you treat all the people like this' back.
Tragic isn't it. 90% of the food bought on the high streets is utter tosh, but it's what people are used to and so they want the same thing again and again. I look at the stuff being served up by McDonalds, Subway, KFC etc and shudder at how crap it is. Same thing goes for a lot of curry houses, or it certainly used to. Just slop with some cheap cuts of meat lobbed in.
Very true mate, most of thhe people wouldnt eat a traditional indian home cooked curry as they have become accustomed to eating high street curry. You can't blame the owners of the establishments as they are just supplying the need. People are lazy and are not interested in finding the true foods behind the various cultures.
