It's chicken in a buttery curry sauce (I assume it uses ghee butter). I find it like a really bland but creamy chicken curry. Not much flavour to it and generally a bit greasy for my tastes.

I don't understand why the A&W hamburger place is in business, it is worst fast food place ever and to add insult to injury they name the food after family members. What a weird thing to do.

I think the same about arbys. Not that I've ever been in one, but when they can't even make the food look like it's fit to feed a dog with on their tv ads I tend to think it's a place to avoid. Maybe I'm missing out....

I've always been willing to try new things, especially the more unusual sort of thing - frog legs, Octopus, Swordfish etc - but I can't bring myself to try Poutine.

I rather like the bacon...

Cover a baking tray with foil

mix brown sugar and crushed black pepper

get cheapo canadian bacon with mega fat and dip in sugar and bacon mixture

lay in strips on baking sheet

bake until crunchy and caramelised and mega fattening

Eat

Oh yes. A young friend insisted I cook this when she came for brunch. It is amazing. It comes out more like candy, but it is very moreish

There are also variations that include chilli flakes, soy sauce, maple syrup.
