I love curry. I'm blessed to live in the 'curry capital' of England. I don't go more than 3 or 4 days without either eating one or suffering from withdrawal symptoms. However this guy literally takes the samosa.....:sweatdrop:
WHEN Arif Ahmed, of the Indie Spice restaurant on Stranmillis Road in Belfast, was asked whether he could deliver a takeaway to New York, he thought that there must be something wrong with his telephone. But the caller was serious, and yesterday the 40-year-old Bangladeshi director of a chain of Indian restaurants was watching his kitchen staff prepare for what must be the ultimate takeaway meal.

About the only things I miss about the UK when I'm overseas is a decent cup of chai and a curry. How far would you go to partake of your favourite dish?
DUDE!
I don't know how far I'd go for my fav, but thanks for the link to a 'recipe' that I will surely try!
I do all the cooking in the house, and fish 'really is' one of my favorites to work with....
While I have no idea what a 'tigerfish' is, I'll be googling same, ya betcha!
Good on ya, my man!
PS: what is it with you people and curry, anyway?

Curry does for us what Mexican does for you perhaps?
Although I do like Mexican food, I think it doesn't come close to curry... (drools)

Turmeric is one of the most significant ingredients in curry powders, and it's known to have ample health benefits. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant (scavenging free radicals from the body), and appears to help shrink various tumors. See what Wikipedia has to say here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turmeric
I love eating curries, but also take turmeric as a nutritional supplement. I also give it to my elderly dogs (beagles aged 12+ and 14+) - they both had large fatty tumors (benign growths that occasionally turn malignant) on their undersides. Within three months of starting them on turmeric supplements, the tumors have shrunk almost completely away. :2thumbsup:
So not only does curry taste great, but it can be very good for you! Yum!
I'm down with some curry once in a while. I wonder if I can order a huge load of poutine if I'm ever overseas...

I love both Curry and Mexican food.
Japan is largely devoid of (good) Mexican food. When I first went there, my friends told me they would send care packages of rolled tacos and Spanish rice.
Japan has their own version of curry, which is very popular. It's not like the Indian stuff, but it is good in its own right.

Hehe ... that reminds me of a place called "Spicy Marsala" (or similar) at the Kyoto main station - that was really horrible ... but I assume that was not the Japanese version of curry you are referring to ~;)
Japanese Curry is like the curry we used to get as school dinners in England in the 1970s. It's ok - it's just not actually curry.
The best curry in the world is in Birmingham - and they are damn good.
the big takeout food of choice over here is grilled chicken.....
uhmmm.....hungry...:idea2:

I used to get some pretty good chicken vindaloo in Highgate; if I toked and tried to eat it too quickly, I always got sweaty midway through.:2thumbsup:

I can't believe how much my mouth salivates as soon as curry is mentioned!
I don't know about the health benefits but this Turmeric stuff must be highly addictive. :2thumbsup:

Go to Silves, got the best Piri Piri.
Well england does have the best curries, the mana of the gods. When in england it is best to just avoid the fish&chips and go Indian all the way. Vinigar on fries??? Madness!

I have to disagree....
If you want the very best you go to a little town near Albufeira called Guia
grilled chicken with piri-piri to die for!!!

I like my chips almost soggy with vinegar. Fantastic :2thumbsup:
Fish and Chips in Britain is often mediocre or worse. However when it is done well, it's a fine meal.
I find when in Holland it's best to eat Indonesian. Dutch food... er.. manky sausages and cheese sandwiches.. call that a national cuisine?!

You are indeed correct. :bow:
It's been a fair few years since I was a guest in Portugal, and my memory failed me.

Takeaways. Favourites are a good curry, or a nice surinaams meal.
Best curry I have had was in Cardiff - Bay of Bengal. Loved it and it sort of became a sport to go there at least once a week during the good old days of uni.

I haven't been for a Balti for ages now, probably about a year. My wife won't eat it so now I don't either. To be honest I don't miss it alot because I've eaten my fair share of it in the past. Nowadays I find it all a bit samey (oil, onion, tomato, 'chicken', oil, some coriander on top to camouflage it all nicely, oil and err did I mention oil?). The best Indian food probably comes from India though, not Birmingham or Bradford. :laugh4:

Since we brought civilisation to that benighted place, of course. Before we colonised them, India was ignorant of the wonders of Indian food.

No, no, it is just the most popular Indian dishes were in fact British inventions, e.g. chicken tikka masala, balti, and some others.
the most popular indian food in britain is british, but the most popular indian food worldwide is probably indian
