    Chinese Curry

    it should be sued under the trades description act

    Its basically beef in a mild, curry flavoured gravy

    Shocking stuff

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

    Odd to assume.

    Anyway Thailand the place is probably my second favourite destination I've been and the food generally probably the best I've ever bad.

    But as per this thread, the curry, Thai Curry wasn't for me.

    you've ruined your entire point there by admitting you eat butter chicken.

    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.

    Irish curry here is similar to the fruity chip shop curry but with a twang, it's more salty with some extra flavour and without the fruity bits.

    I had Irish curry and chips from one of the shops up here - not bad, say, six out of ten.

    Pretty sure it didn’t have many of the ingredients in this recipe and I’m glad it didn’t.

    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.

    Chips from the Chinese take away are generally crap. Unless they use a proper chip shop fryer. Chinese and English take aways combined are the best of both worlds.

    MA Fishbar on Cornwall Street is the best of all worlds. Proper chips and an Indian take away too, so if you fancy a vindaloo sauce with your chips, no problem. Cracking Samosa and chips before games...

    Many tears ago there was a 'restaurant' in Blackwood that served both Mexican and Indian food. Every dish tasted like a fajita that had been marinated in a football boot. It was very popular.

    There's a Himalaya restaurant in Taunton that offers a myriad of dishes supposedly from that part of the world. The people who run the restaurant are lovely but all but one dish comes out of the kitchen almost luminous orange in colour.

    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".
