Tangoman69 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 ** Beware ** I ordered Chinese locally (won't name them) went to pick it up and as I was driving back home, heard the bags rustling and moving!!! I thought what on earth is that? Has something gotten into the bag? I thought I could see a little pair of eyes peering out. I was driving at the time so I pulled over, I leaned forward, picked up the bag, put it on the passenger seat and there it was again, more rustling and little eyes looking out behind the ginger beef! I thought its got to be a rat or a mouse or something, so I carefully pulled the bag down ... And there it was ... ... A Peeking Duck!!! 1 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After William, its George, Charlotte and then Louis before we get to the former spare. Consider Richard lll, a scheming uncle (allegedly) in charge isn't a recipe for a happy ending, though I hear Leicester has many spare carparks... I just thought, Anne would make a far better Regent.

luckymucklebackit Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The reference to the strength of chilli's reminded me of the tale of The Inexperienced Curry Taster Notes from an inexperienced curry taster named Frank. "Recently I was honoured to be selected as a judge at an authentic Indian curry cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (couple of local Indians) that the curry wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted. Here are the scorecards from the event." Curry # 1: Manoj's Maniac Mobster Monster Curry Judge One: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick. Judge Two: Nice, smooth tomato flavour. Very mild. Frank: Holy , what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These curries are crazy. Curry # 2: Applesamy's Afterburner Curry Judge One: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang. Judge Two: Exciting BBQ flavour, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Frank: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. Curry # 3: Farouk's Famous Burn Down the Barn curry Judge One: Excellent firehouse curry! Great kick. Needs more beans. Judge Two: A beanless curry, a bit salty, good use of red peppers. Frank: Call Sellafield, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drain cleaner. Everyone knows the routine by now, get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting -faced from all the beer. Curry # 4: Barbu's Black Magic Judge One: Black bean curry with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge Two: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a curry. Frank: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it, is it possible to burn-out taste buds? Savathree, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills Curry # 5: Laveshnee's Legal Lip Remover Judge One: Meaty, strong curry. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge Two: Curry using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. Frank: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her curry had given me brain damage. Savathree saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Curry # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety Judge One: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety curry. Good balance of spice and peppers. Judge Two: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. Frank: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except the barmaid Savathree, she must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone! Curry # 7: Sugash's Screaming Sensation Curry Judge One: A mediocre curry with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge Two: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of curry peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge Number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Frank: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with curry which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like to match my damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4 inch hole in my stomach. Curry # 8: Hansraj's Mount Saint Curry Judge One: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend curry, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge Two: This final entry is a good, balanced curry, neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the curry pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank, wonder how he'd have reacted to a really hot curry? Frank: (editor's note: Judge #3 was unable to report) 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make my own pork curries, and they're not bad though I say so myself... Our local curry houses are all halal, and none the worse for that but it means they won't touch pork, and readymades seem to avoid the meat as well, probably because there are no recipes to work from. But what about Lobster Samarkand, available in most curry houses? AIUI, Muslim prohibitions are similar to Jewish, and I know shellfish are not kosher! Prohibitions against pork and shellfish are actually very sensible in the tropical and semi-tropical climates in which they originated. Refrigeration has not been available for much of the history of those places! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
