Re: Patak's sauces - Are they REALLY made in the UK? - My curry still tastes inferior

I actually agree with your last sentence. That is the way I feel too. In fact, on Monday night, after a very good (as usual) red chicken curry, cooked by 'real' Thais (I think.), I then had Twix for...

Re: Patak's sauces - Are they REALLY made in the UK? - My curry still tastes inferior

But wouldn't those Indians who were 'just off the boat' here, have already been cooking all their lives in India? Unless of course 'real' Indian cooking is not as good as British Indian cooking but...

Patak's sauces - Are they REALLY made in the UK? - My curry still tastes inferior?

I was both surprised and pleased to find Patak's products in Coles. It says it's made in the UK and it looks the same. Is there something wrong with Australian rice and / or Australian chicken. Why...

Mascot isn't one of those stations where they put the prices up like International & Domestic is it? I've got my suspicions about it?
