Chicken curry



and the wine (a glugger )

[Marco]

Nice one, Roy. I like! Looks even better than your usual curries. Have you done anything different this time? I'm also a sucker for peas in a curry!

I'm going to Asda next week, btw, so will keep an eye out for those wines for you

Not sure what was in the sauce, found it in the freezer. I just added a bit more chicken and it ended up with a lot of thai chilli paste in it because I fancied a spicy one.

Thanks in advance for checking out Asda's wine offerings for me

[Marco]

I think it might've been the Thai chilli paste, as the sauce looked as if it had a bit more 'depth' than usual. I had a curry last night too, but it was a takeaway (lamb madras), and gorgeous!

Saturday night is takeaway night. I usually go for a sheek kebab starter followed by lamb dopiaza or rogan.

[Marco]

Lol - we just have one when we fancy it, normally outwith of Friday or Saturday nights, as it's very busy and you can wait for ages for food to be delivered

Just needed some spice in my life, after a week of classic European cuisine!

Wait time at weekends is usually round the hour mark so you need to plan ahead a little but we vary the restaurants we use depending on what we're having as some are better at the tandoori type dishes and others excel at the 'wet' curries. Generally we plump for Indian food but there are superb Turkish (not just kebab shops - the real deal) and Chinese restaurants locally. I'm getting hungry...

[Marco]

On Saturday nights here it can be up to 2 hours delivery time, so that's just a PITA, certainly the one we use, which locally is the best, and luckily excels at both dry and wet curries.

We're not creatures of habit though, so any takeaways we have are generally ordered on week night, outwith of a Friday, as on Sunday we have a big lunch, some sort of roast or whatever, and then eat nothing at night, save perhaps a little fruit. Saturday tends to be some form of pasta or risotto, but nothing's ever written in stone

Quite often it's a Monday or Tuesday night that we order a curry or Chinese [if Del's not making it herself], simply to enjoy some different flavours and some spice/chilli, compared with the European/British food we'll have had over the preceding weekend. One thing I can't stand is eating the same type of food all the time, as I'd get bored with it very soon.

As they say, VARIETY is the spice of life!

Btw, meant to say:

... but there are superb Turkish (not just kebab shops - the real deal)

Nice one. When done PROPERLY, Turkish food is superb, but I simply wouldn't entertain the 'greasy Joe's', posing as such, and serving nothing but muck.
