Always suspicious of ready meal curries. Some are OK in an emergency, but it's rare. Oddly one of the best I had was in hospital in Liverpool.
Was dying for a curry, so decided to order from their Halal menu. Woman came round to ask what everyone wanted - I said "Chicken Tikka Masala please". Her answer? Conversation went like this ...
"You can't have that!"
"Why not?"
"It's Halal"
"And?"
"Well, it's not your culture!"
Was fuming - pointed out that she had no idea what my "culture" was and for all she knew I could be a devout Muslim. She backed down in the end, but she sulked for three days!!! lol
Upshot was though, a surprisingly nice curry
