Heya.

I lived in Gateshead for 4 years before I moved to Mississippi. Also got a friend in Jackson MS who lived in Gateshead before he moved too.

Where abouts are you from/going to?

C.C

Hi there Knight,
Im from the westend of Newcastle, Walker and Byker. Im now in Oklahoma, have been here four years. I get back once a year but I do still miss the Toon. Where in Gateshead did you live??

Knight

Hi C.C.

I lived near Saltwell Park (the park was at the end of my street actually).

I've only been here 2 months, but I am already missing certain things about Newcastle, especially all the curry houses and the bars.

C.C

I could murder a good curry, we dont have any here in Stillwater, though there are a few in the city but still not as good as The Raj in Pudding Chare, my favourite. What are you doing in Mississispi?

Hi everyone.

I lived in Low Fell for the first 18 years of my life before moving to Scotland.

Agree completely about the lack of curry! I've been here about 4 months and am gasping for a decent dopiaza with spiced onions, poppadoms and a peshwari naan!

I think my favourite was a small place on Durham Road in Gateshead called Paprika (was opposite the Springfield Hotel - used to be a japanese place with the bamboo on the outside if you remember that). I only know of one curry house near me, and it's a good 80 miles away, and the nearest place for a good pint of stella is 70 miles away

Not doing a lot in MS. Moved here to marry my fiancee, we're tying the knot next Friday.

How come its so hard to get a good curry in the US??? Its mad, arent there any decent Indian chefs in the US. I live in a University town with students from all over the world and I know that there are Indian students here so why dont we have a restuarant.. Yes Im ranting,,,,,,,, dont know why, dont suppoes anyone here can open a restaurant in Stillwater.

C.C

We are about 80 miles away from a good night out. I miss english pubs, living in the bible belt its only low life that go to bars ro so Im told by some people. These people have never been out in the toon for a night ooot.

Having said that I do have a great recipe for a great Rogan Josh if anyone wants its.

Even living in California there are no good Indian restaurants here, the only one I found that is half decent is in Reno and the taste is so different from home.
Hope you posted that recipe on Zaar......

A Geordie, for those who do not know, is a Scotsman who climbed over Hadrians Wall and was smart enough not to climb back.
