Vindaloo

[suityou01]

Just ordered my Friday night ruby (after a pretty cruddy day) and found myself in a slightly recalcitrant mood with the local Indian Takeaway. I found myself moaning about modern "vindaloo strength" curries. Nowadays they seem blander than toad in the hole FFS.

Me : "I mean, I don't wish to be rude, but it seems like the whole Indian takeaway industry 'downgraded' Vindaloo to Korma some time ago. Why is this? I mean, I want a Vindaloo, like they once were, and not a Phall, but if Vindaloo is the new Madras then I want a Phall, you know what I mean?"

Him : "I sympathise sir, and yes Vindaloo has come down in strength after popular opinion"

Me : "Ok, so can I have a Vindaloo, 'Old school' please?"

Him : "Yes of course I speak with chef for you"

I have high hopes.

Good oh.
I've also noticed this 'dumbing down' of curry strengths.
I live out in the sticks where the majority of the locals think of 'abroad' as the next county, and our curries are quite good stews.

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee!!!

He'll probably waaank in it.

I must admit I prefer spicy but not hot nowadays, a nice Murgh Nagari with a Badam Naan....hmmmmm.

Spicy waaank I don't mind. If it's that bland stuff I'll kick right off.

HTH

Too true. The Bang Lassis at our local are also not what they used to be either.

Meanwhile, Tikka Massala curries which should not have any heat at all (the original recipe was a can of Cream of Tomato Soup, FFS, and yes, that is true) have got hotter and hotter in the supermarket read-meals to the point where the Missus cannot touch them and I'm needing a drink to go with them.

Thanks for your support Moorfield. Keeping the Vindaloo faith.

Noooooooo. He's more likely to do it in the rice anyway ...

Tomato soup ?

I am not having that. Everyone know a curry is supposed to singe the hairs off of your @rse.
Thats why all the asians are called Singh for crying out loud
