    Sorry but I don't understand how tomatoes and onion with a few spices can be any such thing.

    No worries, mate, totally understand. However, in that situation I'd personally opt for a takeaway curry from a good Indian restaurant, instead of a supermarket ready meal. It'd be far better quality and you'd also get much more food for your money

    In terms of those who hate curry, I think some of it is a generational thing, as most older folks I know can't stand the stuff, my dad included, and he loves all sorts of food, but mainly British and Mediterranean-style dishes.

    Personally, I love hot, spicy food, but most importantly variation in my diet.

    Therefore, if I have a curry one day, then the next day it'll be something totally different, such as pasta, and then once I've had pasta, the next day I might have something like roast chicken or lamb chops, then the next day a Chinese, etc - but it's always got to be something TASTY and worthwhile eating, which I'll look forward to having.

    I simply don't do boring, bland food, bulked out just to act as sustenance!

    That book is gone but it was an amazing example of the amount of pre-prep required before making fab curries. I'm sure I can find something equivalent online gimme this weekend.

    Anyway, u is talkin' the talk but is u walkin' the walk? Post some pictures of these wonderments that look likely to be real genuine chez Marco.. Grant and I do.

    A picture speaks a thousand words sometimes.

    P.S Cardinal sin, Granty: ketchup on fish!

    I absolutely agree. It should have been brown sauce!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
