So do any of the Indian restaurants near you sell Beef Curry's?They used to (60s & 70s, that is, and "darn scarf" -- Homestead, Orpington,
) but not seen one for many a long year ... On the other hand,
my local BIR menu does read (e.g.,) "meat Diahann's" and if I ask for a lamb
Diahann's, the owner will repeat back "one meat Diahann's" -- make of that
what you will !

Hi HS
Very interesting post
I think this is one of the great aspects of cR0, i.e. regional differences.
Here in the NorthEast its always been Beef or Lamb.
On old menus "Meat" was the option and could have been either.
Today, Beef is standard and Lamb is the premium meat and usually
has a small extra charge added to it.E.G.Traditional Dishes
Traditional dishes can be based on a choice of chicken, lamb, beef or prawn.
(Lamb ?1.00 extra. Chicken Tikka ?1.00 extra. King Prawn ?2.50 extra)
The 'sacred cow' is Hindu Religion, estimated 40.000 roaming the streets of Delhi alone.
Most BIR are Muslim.

Next time I visit my T/A I'm going to ask the waiter why there is no beef on the menu, ;)If he /is/ Hindu, he may well reply "Because we don't employ any Dalits, Panchamas or Ashprush in the kitchen, Sahib !" :)

Thinking about this i went for my menu's
but as i expected and remember some do beef and lamb (solmon's)
and some do just lamb (the valley junction 39)
It always been that way up here.
I also remember the meat curry, i remember it as being
lamb.

Beef seems to be the norm up north then
Hi HS,
Personally, I don't like beef in curry, always seems too dry for me!
Ray :)
Glasgow here :)
every time i have a T/A its either Beef Madras or Beef Vindaloo :)
i never find the beef dry. its like melt in the mouth beef like its came from a pot of stew thats been slow cooked for hours.most probably beef shoulder braising steak
never personally cooked a beef curry, its either lamb or chicken
probably 80% of restaurants/ takeaways here have beef on the menu.
Hi Hotstuff09
"I see Soloman's also do Duck, That;s another item you won't see down in the deep south of somerset"
Duck goes very nice with korma and pasanda, very nice :)
Thanks CT
Gee, next it will be Rabbit :D Is nothing safe up there, Like that recipe except the Squash, which I hate with a passion, (all squashes in fact)........Alternative?
Love Haggis, Can't see it surviving a curry though, Ummm....maybe work in batter, ;) Battered Haggis Curry, has a nice ring to it.

Squid Ring Tikka Page 42 ISBN 0-7499-1283-9 Umm sounds nice. good luck with that one !To be eaten to the accompaniment of the late, great, irreplaceable Johnny Cash singing "Ring of Fire", of course :)
I've never seen beef on an indian restaurant or takeaway menu here "dahn sarf" in Berkshire or indeed Kent. I'd love to try it though, anything to break the monotony of chicken and lamb (probably mutton in fact).
