McRamFan Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Me and the other half decided to ditch the takeaway at the start of the year, so far we have not ordered one. So what are views on takeaways, and what are your fav's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Most of the curries taste exactly the same to me. I can hardly tell any difference. I'm generally disappointed in them. Went to Indian Blue in Chesterfield on Friday. The others were raving about it but all three curries looked identical to me. some are utter rubbish. Overlooked chunks in virulent red or yellow gunk. Honourable mentions here to bengal blues and the continental (belper) and desford tandoori (the worst). Generally prefer to settle for a chinese from River Garden, Belper.

Anag Ram Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Only have takeaway as an absolute last resort. I'd much rather cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a bit like the blokes that wear super tight vests in the gym, look at my biceps grrrrrr, look at me eating this Vindaloo. We all know they moisturise at night and cried on the toilet. Just stick with a Tikka I say and wear a t shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The populations who regularly eat curry rarely make it too spicy. Just a machismo thing like multiple tattoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They eat very spicy food, especially southern India and SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelBlimp Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Ooh, I love a chicken madras, Bombay potato, onion bhaji's and m&s mini poppadoms. Unfortunately Shaan in Tarring Road, Worthing doesn't deliver to Mickleover so I'm bolloxed. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I very rarely get takeaway curries as you may as well sit in the restaurant and it's one of the few meals I can cook well. Love a kebab from Duffield Balti or Continental (Belper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Once for me and the Mrs (basically giver her a break from the kitchen ?) . Kids about the same sometimes twice depending. Like be the idea of a takeaway , not so much the reality. Love my exercise too so don't always go hand in hand . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick with a Tikka I say and wear a t shirt. Indian guy I used to work with had some good chat(!) on spicy curries. The poor places just stick chillies in towards the end to make it really hot and all the taste is lost by the over-the-top heat. Proper joints put the chilli in early and cook for a long time so you get the mixture of heat and flavour. Makes sense to me...I like hotter curries but the ones that don't start off hot but build over eating. And as for Vindaloo, this article is interesting. I made this recipe once too and was gorgeous and not very hot at all https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/feb/08/how-to-cook-the-perfect-vindaloo-recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The family business moved to Derby and became the Anoki. Other family members took over Matlock Bath. Well that’s what he told me when I recognised one of the guys working on London Road.

Wolfie Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I love to cook but I do look forward to our Chinese every Friday night. Pizza every couple of months or so but I make them from scratch with Miss Wolfie. Fish & Chips every 3-4 months or so. Curry/KFC/McD's every 6 months or so.
