Walsingham Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sausages, Raithe... lots and lots of cheap sausages... Ironically, I've been the opposite. Had a pretty good night's sleep, but have been clearing al the gunk out of my system all day. Blowing my nose til my sinuses squeak, and coughing up chunks of yellow goop. rat tired, especially after doing my physio exercises. Settled in now with some work reading and a huge mug of tea. Best find in recent days is this Rochester ginger stuff. Basically hot ginger and sugar. Looks and sips like a liqeuer. Zero alcohol. Thinking about maybe making some of my own with the addition of some salt, lemon, black pepper, and chillis. Real fire water. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Monte Carlo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 ^ I had a cold. The answer was a very hot indonesian curry, the one with beef, potatoes, ginger, garlic, chilli, coconut cream, more chilli, some brown sugar and more chilli. And nuts. I had a large bowl of this with sticky rice and (yes) a shed-load of beer. My morale soared and the cold regressed. Curry is a massive source of happiness and I recommend it to you all with alacrity.

I have a Thai style curry on the stove right now, along with a huge chicken soup for tomorrow. The Thai style has naga chillis and bird pepper chillis in it. Hot enough to burn the skin on the back of your hand. And plenty of ginger and coconut and lime. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Raithe Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 What is with you brits and curry? It's one of the many things we brought back from India in the glory days of the Empire.. Hm, now that has me thinking of an old song by the Bonzo Dog Band.. Hunting Tigers down in Indi-aah... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Monte Carlo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Two words: The Raj. We were in India forever, it is etched on our cultural DNA. Then in the 1970's Bangladeshis arrived in the UK and brought with them their food, which is very different from traditional Indian cuisine, including southern Indian vegetarian food. As a Londoner I am therefore familiar with Nepalese curry versus Bangladeshi curry versus more traditional Indian curries from say Kashmir. Of course this is before we explore the murky Balti connection from Birmingham. Personally, I am a big fan of tandoori food and also Pakistani curry house / kebab hybrids of the type you find in East London (where the kebab and sub-continental food collide in gloriously tasty gastro-colour). The curry is a British staple - it is consistent, generally good value for money, tasty and goes well with beer. Brits love curry. I can go to a local curry house and eat great food, I can eat Michelin-starred curry. I've not even hit on Thai, Indonesian and Chinese curries either. This is a big subject.

Gorth Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 My favourite is the Vindaloo.
