Did you have Marsdens in Wigan? They were the best pies IMHO, i really miss em, and i can't imagine what its like for someone from pie country!
(why do pies have holes in the top? so Wiganers (or whatever they call themselves!) can fit 5 on one hand!)

I think Bombay Duck is still banned though. Such a pity.
I can't get over the fact you actually have an Indian store down there!!!

A korma is sweet and mild, if you want something a tiny bit more spicy, try a Dhansak, its slightly hot with a very slight sweet and sour taste. Very nice.


Thanks for the recipes, ill have a butchers at those soon.

What exactly do you mean by "indian" store? A proper curry place or a convenience store with a very good Brit section?

Fort Myers is getting quite cosmopolitan. We have Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Carribean and Thai mini supermarkets (plus Mexican and Cuban of course).

However, so far, we only have two Indian Restaurants. The one on US41 is not so good but "Passage to India" on Bonita Beach Road is excellent.

Any idea where you can get Bombay Duck (Bummalo Fish) ? It is now available in the UK again but I believe it is banned here.

Talking Re: The only thing i have craved since moving to America is a damn good Curry and a roast

Speaking of Currys, I think this is an appropiate time to post this joke, which was originally poated by Rincewind on "The Lounge." Warning: It's not "Family Friendly."

Jim.

Elton John is attending the reading of Freddy Mercury's will. The lawyer reads out: "and to my close friend, Elton John, I leave my ashes."

Brian May leans over to Elton and asks, "what you going to do with his ashes?"

Elton says, "I think I'll mix them into a good hot curry."

"Why's that?" asks Brian.

Elton says, "so I can feel him dribble out of my arse one last time."

Actually you'll find that Indian restaurants over here will usually cook any flavor curry any level of spiciness you want. You can have a radioactive Korma if you want, and a mild Vindaloo. Korma, Madras and Vindaloo are supposed to have different basic ingerdients and flavors, not just different levels of spice - so I'm told by Indians at my local curry house.

That's what I did this evening. I made "paneer mutter"(sic) for dinner. Odd recipe though. Some of the instructions were repeated and some of the ingredients were never given in the instructions but I worked it out.

I shall be giving a serving of this dish to my Indian coworker. He can taste test it (I kinda got a bit heavy handed with the chilli powder).
