My first taste of a proper curry (family ate chinese or italian when i was a kid) was in bradford on leave with a mate at his house after a full day and night session he suggested a curry on the way home. This lad was brought up on the stuff so in we went i admitted i'd never really had one before and didn't have a clue what to order In those imortal words "no probs mate i'll sort you out" he ordered a chicken chat some popadoms and mango chutney to start bloody lovely it was too. I thought the main will be fantastic tindaf*ckingloo sounds nice oh my sweet innocent english mouth i actually had tears after 2 mouth fulls. He was munching away quite happily i stupidly thought maybe once i get used to it all will be good, another 2 mouth fulls and i was done. It's only really this year i have started eating curry again after an indian friend's mum was over visiting and made some meals for us really tasty slight kick but nothing major did i appriciate how good curry could be. Lamb tikka massala is my current favorite but i've tried a few others up to medium hot and enjoyed them. Funnily enough the same lad made the friday afternoon dash getting his kit sorted to get home on weekend leave early a few weeks later only to find his car had been broken into and the steering wheel stolen then since he was moping about camp got dicked for guard duty only to find the wheel in his locker on the sunday afternoon

The hottest curry I ever had in a restaurant was a chiken jalfrezi with a couple of vicious chillies. But this was greatly exceeded by a Thai Musaman curry that I made myself. I used half a pot of paste as on previous occasions but only after tasteing it did I read the label. One pot of this particular paste was enough for 40 helpings, so I had put 20 times more paste in than required. It was extremely hot but I did manage to eat it. My wife tried one taste and gave up. She only attempted it again after I had removed as much of the sauce as possible and diluted it down with half a tin of coconut milk. Just proves the point that you should always read the instructions

We, at the club, have a sort of tradition of popping for a 'rubes' on the way back from some dive trips. So, how's about a list of our favourite establishments (curry houses, that is)?

A friend of mine brought some jalepinio (sp ?) sauce back from NZ after travelling there for a year. It looks like sloppy sheep poo (honest), but last NY the stuff had me sweating from the eyes. Since then I've started eating more and more spicy food (I've discovered it increases metabolic rate) and splash tobasco (or add chillis) on most things. This Saturday I didn't cry, I didn't moan, everyone said how strong it was but I was disappointed.

Where's the post about the ridiculously hot chilli sauces gone?

have had a phall once, when I was working in Minehead over the winter. we had been drinking most of the sunday ( work blown out too windy) and when the pub shut at 10.30 the only way for more beer was the indian. I was dared to eat the 'hottest curry on the menu' but i upped the ante by telling the waiter to mke it hotter. Big mistake- it was like licking the sun, I managed to eat it all but my mouth felt like nulear fission had taken place inside it.

the following day was not a pleasant experience and the phrase 'looks like a blood orange ' sprang to mind.

I can eat ridiculously hot curries but its not about the heat its about the Flavour these days.

Either that or Garlic naan... Actually in Coventry the other weekend I came across a garlic AND chilli naan which was luuuuuurvly!

What side dishes? I'm partial to a bit of Saag Aloo, Saag Paneer, and we've just found the delights of Brinjal Bhaji (Aubergine) which is LUSH!!!

[Ahoy]

Sides: okra (bhindi) bhaji and various dhals. And I love the table naans that are found in Bradford and 'brum. Ridiculously sized efforts!
