Well if you can't eat Thai food then you probably wouldn't enjoy coming to viist. Although clearly you'd enjoy the beer. The marmalade is indeed a glaze, and dark marmalade is quite rich and 'dark' in flavour, much less sugary.
I cooked a fish curry yesterday using a mix of cumin seeds, caraway seeds (very small amount of these), habanero chillis, coriander seed powder (sometimes called dhania), and butter. The only veg was a little onion, garlic, and one yellow pepper) No water was added.
It's taken a layer of skin off my innards, but it went down well with a serving of arab coffee (cardamom, cinnamon, and sugar boiled up with it). Very fine hangover fodder.
As for pig bits, LC, the fact is I was raised full on white trash. Mainly offcuts from the butcher, wild rabbits, and fresh mussels.
