Sometimes have a craving for decent curry

I was in Huddersfield recently and went into an indian restaurant, I was served the most dreadful attempt at a curry I have ever come across. I had a gordon ramsey type outburst after spitting out the apology for food I was presented and left!

I think I'm cured

Default Re: WHICH FOOD TREATS DO U MISS THE MOST

Fish, chips, pea fritter & curry sauce
Sausages
Back bacon
Cornish pasties
Pickled onions
And of course proper cadburys chocolate

The list used to be longer, but the more time I spend here the less I miss things from the UK.

I'm intrigued....what on earth is a pea fritter?!

I don't properly miss anything from home. Potato bread would be nice, but I can have a bash at making it myself. When my birthday comes around I will be hoping for a package of giant Cadbury buttons & some Jamesons raspberry ruffles.

A pea fritter is a ball of mushy peas, dipped in batter and deep fried.

Yummy

I see. I'm struggling to decide if the batter would make the mushy peas more or less revolting. It's a tough call!

Each to their own and all that

The kind of dish that ensures a double (or more) bye-pass op further down the road.......yummy indeed however...most really enjoyable things in life have a price......trust me...I know....
