Curry

[bekarovka]

I just don't get it at all when you can have Italian, Tapas, Thai - you name it anything but that foul glop!

Now I appreciate that this might be controversial but I'm afraid that I have to say it; curry = food of the devil.

Easy one - don't eat it then!

well, not so easy because whenever there's a social at work everyone always wants a curry - so I just wind up going along for the poppadoms and Cobra.

Really poor, I hope whoever wrote you is ashamed of themselves.

Philistine! But if your taste buds say no, fair enough.

However, if you have cold or flu, a curry, such as chicken dhansak (hopefully with okra) has truly medicinal qualities.

I have only been to two really good curry restaurants ( in 40 years) and those were when a member of the party was an Indian who knew the owners. Curry dishes vary and many of them do not originate from India but are Indian versions of foreign dishes therefore you could get the original and much better food in places such as a Thai or Persian restaurant. (http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com...-lamb-dopiaza/ ) Most curry restaurants are mediocre. At work I have suggest alternatives such as a Greek Meza evening but they have always opted for curry and the moaned next day about the poor value and service.

If you are in London you are in luck as there is a fantastic selection of restaurants outside of the centre and some near the centre.

I think this is something everyone is going to have an opinion on.

Rubbish curries are commonplace. There are some really good places but they are few and far between. Everyone has their own favourite. And yes, there is not a huge amount you can do to stop it looking like gloop.

There are two main problems with cheap curries; too much salt to mask the taste and poor quality ingredients.

If I have to go for a curry I try to get people to go to places like Imli which tend to be lighter and with better quality ingredients. In the main though, even though I really like spicy food, I prefer to go elsewhere.

Try M&S or Sainsbury's even Tesco's have upped their game.

HTH.

CM and I visited "the curry mile" recently.

A couple sat at the next table to us had the following discussion over the menu...

She - "What are you having?"

He - "A curry."

She - "What sort?"

He - "I don't know, I can't find curry on the menu."

This was in the Sher Kahn, Rusholme.

I'd also like to make the point that while "He" went to the gents, his darling son(approx age 5) was busy trying to slice up the upholstery with his knife.
