tonyh29 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 should really go in the “things you don’t get” thread but I really can’t understand this fixation people have with curry ... don’t get me wrong I’m partial to a cheesy Naan and a tandoori mixed grill , but a couple of times a year , not every week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok but I'll have it once a year if that. Indian food though, probably once a week but could live on it if needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a recent development for me, but that's how it is. Not sure why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or three curries a year, if only to be sociable. If it was just me I'd never bother with it. Too much unpleasantness for very little pleasure.

Seat68 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I have a curry at least once a week. I am having home made one tonight and had one on Monday. Like Xela could live off them if need be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Yep, curry once a week every week. But it’s not just ‘curry’ is it. There’s an infinite variety. I had a whiskey last night, that was my first booze of any description in quite a few weeks. Not that bothered by having a drink, even if I ended up in a pub there’s as much chance of me having a Diet Coke as a pint of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post choffer Posted March 21, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Popped in to the office last night to make sure all was in order since we shut down a week ago. Spied that the small M&S next door was empty so thought I’d pop in and see if they had any milk or fruit. Should have known they’d been cleaned out so to mitigate the disappointment I thought I’d treat myself to a beer or two. I hardly ever drink but thought I might need a treat. I only noticed when I got home....... Edited March 21, 2020 by choffer 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, ordinarily, can you taste the difference between tomato and onion as opposed to, say, coconut, cream and raisin? Can you ordinarily tell prawn from chicken or cauliflower or lamb? Coriander from ginger? You must be eating similar ingredients in every ‘different’ curry, without me trying to sound sarcastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 There are some tolerable low alcohol beers. That's not one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Becks blue is palatable as a non alcoholic beer, in my opinion anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I tried the Heineken alcohol free beer at Villa Park when I went for a stadium tour a couple of weeks ago. I’ve always rated Heineken just above drinking warm piss, but the 0% version was quite nice. Shaun Teale had one too, so if it’s good enough for him...

Just macho bullshit. A bit of heat and plenty of flavour is the way to go. So glad I have found a new decent curry house after a 10 year search after the one of my youth closed down.
