Sour cream and chive vs cheese and onion

Cheese and Onion, Walkers please.

on a similarly savoury but different note: curries

made one last night that ended up tasting just about exactly the same as one i used to eat from the local Indian takeaway complete with a peshwari naan. Don't see either of those anywhere near me. It involved sweet onions, coconut (shredded and oil), lime, garlic, ginger, spices (had to use powdered cardamom instead of pods), butter, buttermilk, a can of condensed cream of mushroom, tomato puree, and the tenderest, cubed chicken. Damn... so so good. *drools*

That sounds good, I hope you made a big pot that will last several days. Did you make the Naan bread as well?

Yeah, I know it's too early to be getting up. But I couldn't sleep. Coffee anyone?

Cheers, I might do that. Cheaper than a hotel I'm guessing, but no funny business. I was over there a few years ago ... on business...

Of course no funny business unless you totally insist on seeing my tap dancing routine

I really enjoy a good curry, not overly hot but enough.
The bread and the crispy starters get me going. I worked in Dhaka for a year and it was divine.

I like curry. My favorite is from an award-winning Indian takeaway in our town - their Chicken Madras on Tuesday to Thursday evenings when their best cook is on duty. From time to time I also like their Chicken Vindaloo on Fridays and Saturdays when a different cook is on duty and his Vindaloos are not impossibly hot.

In 1960 I was in Kandy, Sri Lanka for lunch. All the other liner passengers ordered standard western dishes. As I was in Sri Lanka, I wanted curry.

It was possibly the worst curry I have ever eaten. It was made with generic curry sauce, the sort used in the UK for a curry with chips. Later in Colombo, I had a vegetable curry from a street stall. That was the real thing.

A few years ago, I had an excellent Sri Lankan dried fish curry - in Fiji

lasted all of 2 days, and involved suppers, breakfast and mid-afternooners between the 3 of us No to the naan... i wish. I served it with rice cooked with fresh sage leaves and a spot of the curry sauce (enough just to give it a slight colour and echo of the flavour). I've never tried to cook naan bread. Not such a huge fan of the plain naan, but peshwari? omg, to die for.

i never see the point of a curry so hot it burns your mouth. My tastebuds prefer flavour, with a warmth that embraces rather than makes me sweat ingots. I don't feel the need to try and impress people with the ability to eat something so hot it could burn down a building... which is just as well because i couldn't, lol.

We have a Sri Lankan takeaway locally (and Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Southern and Northern India, and a Birmingham-sourced curry house!).

About 30 years ago, a friend of mine, a serious curry fan, set out to sample all of the Balti Houses in Brum. Unfortunately, he died shortly after sampling about 50 of them. But I think that he probably died happy.

I haven't had cause to venture up to Brum for quite some time. Are Balti Houses still a feature of the local culturescape?

You know what's gonna flow down and it won't be money

They trot out the same bullshit and the hard of thinking lap it up. Punish the poor reward the rich and fuck the middle not that there is much middle left.

Let's be honest if Charlie Brooker had written a script like recent history it would have been rejected as too far fetched.

Anyone up early watching the Women's rugby world cup in NZ? I'm enjoying a good tussle between Scotland and Wales at the moment.

No looking forward to winter - not that I ever do.
I just hope the warm hubs had decent wifi.

I'd love a bit of winter...stamping my feet to keep warm. Double hands around a cup of tea whilst admiring @Anastasia1999 in woolen tights

I can see where you are going with that but better would be @Anastasia1999 in her cycling pants whilst downing a frosty frothy one - or a pint of room temp Old Peculiar
