Cant beat a good curry... dont like them too spicy as I cant taste it after that... AArgrah (sp) and Jinnah are local favourites...

in the days before they introduced that financially dangerous practice of accepting switch cards at the bar and providing cashback).
So true.

Leeds is ok. But for a spot on curry you need to head over to my neck of the woods. Bradford.

Chicken dopiaza... Hhhhhmmmm!!

Bradford OK, but NOTHING beats a Birmingham Balti (Dont think that you can get a decent Balti anywhere but in these cities - you cant)

Notes taken from an Inexperienced Curry Taster Named Paul Reynolds,
who was visiting Bombay, India from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK.

"Recently I was honoured to be selected as a judge at a 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 (a 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.

Paul: Holy ****!! What the hell is this stuff? You could remove
dried
paint from your driveway. It took me two beers to put the flames
out.
I hope that's the worst one. These Indian fellows are crazy if they
even begin to think this tastes like food.
_________________________________
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.

Paul: 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. I had an expression like a
cow sucking **** off a thistle.
____________________________________________
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.

Paul: Call Sellafield, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels
like I have been snorting Domestos. Everyone knows the routine by
now, get me more beer before I ignite. The barmaid pounded me on
the back; now my back bone is in the front part of my chest. I'm
now getting ****-faced from all the beer.
_________________________
Curry # 4: Barbu's Black Magic Bean Blaster

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.

Paul: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to
taste it, is it possible to burn-out taste buds? Jaswinder, the
barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 320 lb.
bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear waste I'm
eating.
Is curry an aphrodisiac?
__________________________________
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.

Paul: 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
hospital treatment from 3rd degree burns. The contestant seemed
offended when I told her that her curry had given me brain damage.
Jaswinder saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on
to 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.
Phone the White House and tell them you've discovered a stockpile
of napalm.
_________________________________
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!

Paul: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous and
dangerously explosive methane building up. I have sulphuric flames
leaping from my arsehole. My rusty sheriffs badge feels like it's
been rogered with a red hot poker and I've just **** myself when I
farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems
inclined to stand behind me except that **** Jaswinder; she must be
kinkier than I thought. I Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe
my *** with a snow cone! I think if I sit on the toilet now, my
arsehole will go down for a drink of water.
______________________________________
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, frothing at the mouth and nostrils and his
trousers appear soiled with what appears to be a smoking gravy.

Paul: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I
wouldn't feel a 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 from my mouth. I'm dribbling acid
that has eaten my beard away and now feels like it's eating my skin
away with it. 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 2
inch hole this stuff has eaten 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. Wonder how he'd have
reacted to a really hot curry?

Paul: --------------(editor's note: Judge #3 was unable to report

I love my curry. Never had a Phall as I'm scared it would burn the enamel from my teeth. Done a Madras or too but too much heat not neoigh flavour. Go for the Dansak myself good balance between taste and heat.

I once had a Jalfrezi that was so evil that my tounge swelled up and i couldn't talk. I literally couldn't taste anyhting for 24 hours. It was scary !

I like hot curries, but the hotter they are the less flavour you get. I nearly always go for a Madras, super blend of taste and heat.

yum yum.. dribble..
