Re: Chinese Curry

I've never had it, or wanted to have it, cos it just seems wrong on many levels.

I've seen "Irish Curry" on the menu at bars over here occasionally. It's chicken in curry sauce, like you get on Caroline Street.

Re: Chinese Curry

It's quite simple, if you want decent curry, go to a curry house, if you want decent chips , go to a fish and chip shop. They simply can't do both. Chinese only do chinky food any good.
(Although you would think the chips would be easy?)

I always liked chips from a Chinese takeout. Soy sauce and vinegar. Lush.

Do you realise that the word "curry" merely means "sauce"

Doesn't curry come from the curry tree?


By the way, sushi is rice and not the seafood that may accompany it.

That is sometimes disputed. I think you are referring to the suggestion that it stems from the Tamil word Kari, which apparently means black pepper. This makes most sense to me as Indians flavoured their food with pepper, until chillies were imported to the sub continent (apparently!). But it is also argued that it stems from the word karahi/kadhai which is a type of cooking pot or wok, hence chicken karahi in restaurants. Another theory is that it stems from an old English word "cury" which describes "cookery" and in turn is taken from an old French word "cuire". Who knows? It may even be a mixture of all 3 but, for sure, colonialists returned to the UK speaking of "curry".
