Over here, my mum had the choice of either Clive of India or Keen's curry powder.  To this day I always keep a tin (now a cardboard tube) of Clive of India.  Sausage curry just isn't right if I use any other, although Keen's isn't too different.

I noticed your images were hosted KB, and tried imgbb but without actually creating an account. It didn't work. I'll try again, but surely the forum should work.  Admin???

Oh yes, now you mention it, I do remember Vencats.  But the fact that it was "by Sharwoods" is little in the way of recommendation ... !

I had no idea Sharwoods had been around for so long. I like the recipe in the Vencat advertisment. Not often you see one where the curry is cooked in an oven. Expect the great Ronnie Barker researched this for his Indian chef sketch. So (paraphrasing) where he adds, ... Or, you can cook it for 350 hours at 2 degrees F.

I hope your Heroes were full size. A lot of the confectionary old favourites seem to have shrunk these days. Just the other day a friend told me that Toblerone have reduced the number of their peaks.

I almost forgot. Bubble & Squeak was also a regular before the fancy dishes. Those were the days. Just found a recipe for it online and there's a fried egg perched on top.  No egg thank you very much.  Ridiculous idea.

Fried egg is lovely with it, if you have it with sausages and your bubble and squeak is fried nice and crispy. Topped of course with HP.  :wink:
