Just got home after a very long cold day out and although I was born and bred in Norfolk I have never had your creation , not being nasty or nothing but I might try the pieces of Chicken but that would more or less be it , we have got just about every nationality on Gods earth and maybe a few more from other planets so I am sure that might be on some Indian menus but it wouldn't be on mine , no point in me saying I would love to try it and then you send me a parcel through the post with very similar contents contained in the parcel :lol: :drinks:

I don't think they need any rodding out just yet , we finished our last drive just before 4pm when the light was fading , we were in East wood , where no doubt you had been in in your picking up days , the gun inside the wood had a Yellow Lab that would have a job picking up a cold instead of a wounded Pheasant , I let my dog have a run around and low and behold he brought a lively hen bird back just as the beaters and the keeper were coming past , I rung it's neck and said to A W the ex head keeper, my ole dog has done well lasting out all day , he said I don't know about your dog but you look fitter than we do , so my ole stents are doing well , having said that , his eyesight is not up to scratch and you certainly cannot go by looks as I am having a job to keep my eyes open :yahoo:

its darker than the usual one i do ....

I always prefer anything curry ish , that looks brown , rather than red .  Just because they look more savoury.

But you live in the land of the curry house, red is authentic for the English taste.

The trouble is , as each curry house does its best to beat the next curry house , the curries get redder and redder , and sweeter and sweeter , until they look and taste more like a pudding. 

It's the same thing with fish and chip shops . You're hard pushed to find chips that aren't bright orange .  They look awful 😖

Maybe I'm just getting old .

Not sure about that, when I used to go out in Leicester regularly we found some superb "authentic" curry houses.

Years ago we played three of them off against each other in Dereham.

Used to take 30 of us to their quietest evening of the week.

Regularly treated like kings and kept their profits up.

An old Asian mate used to take me to the Asian versions of greasy spoon cafes in brum . The food was amazing , and about a third of the price of Indian restaurants.  Theyre where Asians go for a curry.

I had an Indian meal for the first time in ages , on new years eve . I was in agony for two days, but it was worth it😄.

Out of practice eh? You have to stay "current"

I was always taught that if the "locals" use a place it will be worth a visit.

best indian food i ever had was when i was doing a job in Pleck (Brum)....at lunchtime we used to wander down to Wednesbury in the back streets where there was lots of traffic stopping outside little terraced houses...you would go in the frount door and the sittingroom had been converted to a deli with a bay marie selling fresh cooked indian food by old mammas....you chose what you wanted and they boxed it up

we had meetings at the site on a thursday and twice as many managers and CEO's used to come fro British Gas ..as they knew there would be fantastic food after the meetings.......the food was truly awesome far tastier than any resteraunt

I'm not really supposed to eat spicey food since I has my stomach done , but I couldn't resist the call of the lamb madras.  I was coping quite well , until I ate the fried green chilli on top of the curry , and then I ate lins as well. I'd like to say that I've learned my lesson,  but I am pretty stupid at times , so I'll probably do it again.

 

The pleck is in Walsall,  it's just sort of between brum , and wednesbury .  Pleck kebab house was where I had my very first mixed kebab in a fresh naan . My God it was amazing .

We all went for a kebab one Friday night at pleck kebab house . My wife and myself,  and a few other couples from the pub , and my brother ade. As we walked down the road past the prostitutes , every single one of the prostitutes said " oroight ade ".

I don't know the area very well , I only got to know it once I discovered pleck kebab house , and mixed kebabs in fresh naan.

Its a place that I'd never visit on my own , just incase someone saw me in the car , with one of the prostitutes with her head in the window .   Imagine trying to explain that one to the wife 😳 .
