Topic: Chef Sam's Live Interview

[curryhell]

Thanks for your imput Mick, informative, interesting and at times amusing ;D  Shame you let a couple of individuals get under your skin.  But when all said and done, as Natterjak posted the other day, you could just simply have used the ignore button for those that just p**s you off.  It many not be ideal here but at least it'll never be a "one party" state 

[Stephen Lindsay]

I hope you reconsider Mick but if not I'll keep up with you via Facebook.

[Naga]

And happy birthday, Mick! Not much of a prezzie, I know, but its the thought that counts.

Seems some people just want to nit pick at anything.

Yes, god forbid a BIR "chef" should have a wide ranging knowledge of the ingredients of his trade eh?  :

Totally agree if it was a an ingredient of his trade  : But Hing, Asafetida or whatever you want to call it is not an ingredient of a BIR chefs trade. :

I'll merely repeat what I said earlier:

"My what a sheltered (BIR) life you lead!  : " And I'll add a couple of these for extra emphasis  :  :

Sheltered BIR life??? Don't think so son!!! And you can repeat all you like!!!   : : : to emphasise the point

I see we have a CA replacement for the forum.  ;D

Yes, and sad to say SS, it is looking like you at the moment.


Oh and where is this ignore button guys?

Anyway guys dreadful hangover from last night's beer and curry...there's nothing for it must be more beer and a take-away!!

Another Spices special last night no doubt jb and a few Stellas to boot  :  Just finished cooking a Zaal phall for a little later and cracked open a  Grimbergen.  Enjoy mate and i'll be in touch soon.

Yep Spices Take-away last night...a very nice balti Rezala with loads of green chillies.I actually went to their other place in Romford on Friday and had the same thing!! very nice indeed.

ps hope Mick stays on the forum,we don't really want to lose another well informed member.

Finally watched this, pretty good and genuine answers to typical beginners Questions.
In my view Sam's only doing this, as a favour for his mate H4ppy Chris.

Who members all know is a beginner trying to make some cash out of it all.
You just have to watch his earlier H4ppyleader Youtube vids.

Because its an open forum, your always going to get the usual Victor Meldrews,
picking up on some trivia and harping on and on.
But the same peeps should pay more attention and maybe learn something,
but I doubt it, with them stuck in a time warp of mythical 70's nostalgia.

Sam said he is self taught and thought he could do better than some of the cooks he worked with,
which is how everybody learns the trade, years of working along side different people being told what to do
and how to do it.
I can't see why anybody would doubt this guys take on things, for making fast "Take Away" food.
Plus he certainly doesn't need any help from H4ppy Chris to write a beginners ebook.
Probably was amazed that there was any interest in the subject.

One of my Bangladeshi friends has opened a Thai Restaurant, with all Thai staff, who's English is
better than mine. LoL  ;D Anyone up for Thai Curry Cooking - BTR LoL ;D

cheers Chewy

p.s. I'm suprised this thread is allowed, saying H4ppy Chris was banned for being a tool. go figure.

[Aussie Mick]

OK. I may have been a bit grouchy at 2.40 am, tired and full of Stella.

Thanks for the messages fellas.

I'll stick around and share anything worthwhile. Must investigate this "ignore" button. I dind't realise that you could actually "ignore" someone, I just thought that it was a figure of speech.

I know I am not the most active member on here or the most technically advanced (wouldn't have a clue how to put a video on), but I still feel endebted to this place for all that I have learned, so will give something back if/when I can.

Did anyone try the Karahi recipe I posted? If not you are missing out on a VERY nice curry, not BIR, but extremely tasty.....do it.

[Micky Tikka]

Well done AM
Don't let the B******* grind you down  ;D
Haven't been cooking too many curries recently
