Xann Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Can't agree Eames, Cardamon Pods play a pivotal role in many good curries. I've never even heard of putting raisins in a curry. It was quite commonplace before curry really took off here in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've never even heard of putting raisins in a curry.Oh it's true and it's awful. Apart from adding a lot of sweetness to the dish, they swell up to bursting point. Then you happen to burst one in yer gob. Ugh. Not pleasant.

Xann Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I actually give McDonalds credit for some of the music in their ads. That's the rather expensive ad agencies they pay a lot of money to. They sometimes come to me for pointers as it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't mind the rest of the advert. Just her. **** off. It's not even the way she says it (which is annoying in itself). It's that what she's saying it's completely pointless to anyone with a brain. 'See you later, what does that even mean?'. It means exactly what it sounds like it means. **** oooooooofffffffffff.

Troglodyte Posted January 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2013 Similar to the raisins/cardamom pods in curries, I don't like bamboo shoots in chow mein. Hate it when I order a Chinese (which isn't very often) but the chow mein has just as many bamboo sprouts as noodles. A small amount I could handle, but lots are just awful, especially when they're all soggy and bleurgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Dina Class curry powder mix, available from plenty of High Street butchers. Nice n easy, just add water curry mix for when you just need a fast food curry. It contains raisins that I then have to pick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Asda used to make a chicken tikka sandwich filler (going back about 10 years) that was absolute perfection, then one day they decided to put a "new improved flavour" sticker on the pot and threw a handfull of raisins. Havnt brought it since.fruit had no place in curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It was all going so well until you said prawns...... Folowed by bread and butter, with a curry? Are you mental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 yes, in an ideal world it would be a fresh naan, hand crafted by a captive Goan virgin using my own tandoori in the basement ideally it would be organic chicken that had lead a good a life and was killed by hypnosis and slow cooked in an Aga but we are talking about a Wednesday night, first day home since Sunday and I'm knackered washed it down with a barely chilled pepsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Then I'll credit you for The Revelers' Lucky Day. Where that was pulled from, I don't know. Very unlikely to be me. ASV, the label pressing the track on CD in the UK, disappeared a couple of years ago. IIRC another similar label rose from the ashes called Sounds Of Yesteryear, Downloadable on MP3 period comps though. Well out of copyright and their MP3 shouldn't be tested by a 1920s recording - Cheap soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
