Well you're right I guess. I was thinking about all the free curry I missed out on as a kid by not being Indian.

There's no point wishing you could have that which you didn't get.

Think: you could have been born into a vegetarian Indian family. No sausage rolls. No chops. No steak. Definitely no steak!

Think: you could have been born into a strict Muslim family. No bacon butties. No nicking a slurp of your dad's beer as a kid.

Think: you might have been born into an Indian family ... but your mum couldn't cook. Then you'd be farked. Findus Fried Pancakes and rice every day.

Anyway, Indian families make Indian curry at home. Not real, proper British curry. They do daft things like not have rice & naan and insist on fruit - fruit FFS! - in their curries. Indians know bugger all about decent curry.

You were lucky. Fried breakfasts and Frosties for breakfast made you grow up the big and strong lad you are now.

Quite, although my mum still puts tinned peaches in her chicken curry...

Also, an Indian bloke I used to work with was always going on about an extremely hot pickle he'd brought over from home.

Eventually I managed to get him to bring some in. He was warning how deadly it was as I took my first spoonful - I've had hotter mango chutneys.

Got to try this .....

Go work in India for a month.

You could easily eat curry 3 times a day, every day, for 28 days.

Come back 3 stone heavier...

Did a one week training gig in Mumbai once. Apartment & driver provided. Cook made a (pretty bland) curry each evening (vegetariian, at my request). And at the canteen at lunchtime ... wow. One s/steel indented tray with 4 or w bowl depressions in it, hold it out, spoonful of this, spoonful of that. "Chapat or slice?". Fantastic.

Buy a curry cook-book, and go crazy.
