When you go into the car park if your backs to the road it's the far left. Perfect for a late evening cup of tea and you can sit at the tables outside and laugh at the Aboyne furry dice brigade!

Sorry but Mrs Hagar would disagree with you Boysie, we have a good recipe for a fish curry that doesn't have tomatoes any where near it. What about a vindaloo, no toms in it. Plenty of curries with a lot of leaves and sticks and seeds in them though :P oh this is starting to make me hungery now, must go off and find something to eat :2up

Thai red duck curry........ :cool

Ceylon ........ :cool

Madras..... :cool


No toms
:nono

I could go on. Personally I prefer Thai dishes as the sauce seems to compliment the dish rather than swamp the ingredients.

Of course you can't go far wrong with large amounts of encona west indian red pepper sauce :cool :boing :cool :boing

eating out must be a nightmare , I very much doubt anywhere except very strict vegan restaurants don't use stock or other stuff which will have traces of dead animal in them :(

Why does everyone think a good curry is a hot curry? :P

Having lived in Asia I was lucky enough to eat authentic curries etc from street venders. Yes they are spicey, but they are not super hot. The spices were originally used to cover up the taste of the "ripe" meat that was used for cooking and to help preserve the meat without refridgeration (thats why all good curries are made with marianated meat).

Another thing about the street vender curries was that they were not as oily as the ones you ger here.

If you do want a proper hot curry that is ment to be hot, go for a Malaysian Beef Rendang. The meat is marianated for 2-4 days and when cooked, it is coated in a paste rather than being in a sauce, so its a very dry curry.

Very popular in Brunei at weddings..along with warm orange juice :) It was made hot to prove that you were strong enough in "constitution" to be able to support your new wife.

Got to confess, not keen on Thai curries, bit wishy washy for me :(

Depends what you have, the most popular with westerners are the red and green curries. The green tends to be almost sweet if too much coconut milk is used. But there are also yellow & orange curries which tend to be a lot sourer and not usually found in thai restaurants over here as the majority of people wouldn't eat them. Then there's stuff like Gaeng Dai Pla, which is a strong fish curry, smells horrible but tastes fantastic and is very spicey. Mrs Mudman can make the best thai curries. :-)

Lucky enough to have had that very dish along with lemongrass soup, made in front of me on a small boat on the River Kwai. One of those memories i'll never forget. :cool Also felt like i was gonna blow a hole in the boat afterwards :oops
