The south coast of WA is still untouched, only has a few colonial buildings in comparison with Tasmania. Lots of great local produce, too.

Sound like BS to me. I heard the Aussie Cadbury has ingredients to prevent it melting at the higher temperatures it will be exposed to in Aus.

GENERALLY in MY experience curries here are not as good as curries in the UK. We had a curry house near where we lived and I have yet to taste a better curry. As I say that is MY personal experience.

Have you tried asking the Indians in Australia why their curries aren't as good as the curries made by Indians in the UK?
Two Chefs can use the exact same ingredients, and get quite different flavours, especially with spices at the frying stage. |

Now I do have the answer to the chocolate taste difference. I was at the Cadbury factory in Tasmania a couple of weeks ago and asked why British and Australian Cadbury taste different (I'm love the Australian one because I'm an Aussie) and apparently it's because in Australia they use Sugar Cane and Britain uses Sugar Beet in their recipe.

Talking of 'red capsicums', I had an otherwise perfectly acceptable red chicken curry in The Strand/Aldwych - near Somerset House I think, is that the right street? Anyway I took a HUGE bite out of what I thought was a red capsicum but turned out to be a red chilli. For about five minutes I was REALLY scared. What the **** are you supposed to do? |

I don't use Pataks. Greasy, harsh and raw tasting. The slick of oil on their pickles was enough to put me off. Wasn't to impressed by a jar of their curry sauce either, for the same reasons. Much prefer Sharwoods for mango chutney and raw poppodoms which I microwave. I make my own curry sauce with cumin, garlic, chilli, garam masala. My Thai green curry includes ginger, garlic, soy sauce and corriander. My tikka chicken is diced red onion, ginger, garlic, lime juice, tomato puree, soy sauce, garam masala, cinnamon, and chilli pepper.
Serve with natural yoghurt. No cream or ghee in my 99% fat free kitchen ! It's hard to find Sharwoods here in NZ. So I've found Baxters Mango and Ginger chutney a good if not better alternative. Pataks raw poppodoms are ok. P.S. was suprised and glad to see Colmans products here i.e. proper mint sauce, English Mustard. |

That's interesting too. I've learnt a few things from this 'title.' I've got a jar of Patak's Curry Paste which I've not actually used yet. All I did was to throw jar of Curry sauce over my chicken, and then add whatever I could find - mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, red capsicum, green beans - even threw in a few blueberries to see how they would add?
