Topic: Oh, I give up

[Peripatetic Phil]

But who's to say that that isn't a 'curry secret', whether intentional or not?

Do you see what I mean? They use high heat as a necessity of the fast food trade but unwittingly produce a unique flavour as a corollary.

I sense sense in Santa's observation ...

Wow Phil!!  That is very aggressive.  I'll change my name if you like-it was a joke 

No aggression intended, RS :  "are you certain ..." is about as mild as language can get.

But the whole forum is very unwelcoming from an outsider looking in...

I'm sure it can appear that way; we are (to be honest) a rather odd and mixed bunch, but under the bonnet /most/ of us are quite friendly and are unlikely to bite unless severely provoked.  We have a very Betjemanesque approach :  "justice by the boys for the boys", so if we think that someone is posting spam, or trolling, then we will almost certainly call them out.  But if someone comes on and asks (in all innocence) a question that has been asked and answered a hundred times, before, then usually that question will get a straight answer, without recourse to sarcasm or other criticism.

Hope that sets your mind at rest :

Okay Phil

I understand the "banter" but also will you also completely exclude women?  Come forward you women members and prove me wrong!!!

Cheers

I tell you people, you should take a step back and have a look at the stuff you post on these forums,  The place is an amazing resource, but the behavior of the participants is frankly strange.  Lots of bad language, showing each other no respect    What's it all about guys?

I have to disagree RS. I have been lurking around BIR sites for a couple of years now and this one for a while on and off.  I learnt more here in my first 30 posts than I did on the others combined.  I don't find the language appalling or even close to bad.  There is plenty of bounce between different members but have a look at the number of posts they have. These members are old mates and the pretend push and shove is a part of the appeal to some people, me included. The very nature of a "healthy" forum that is not heavily moderated to the point of frustrating the members.

I've asked questions on one of the other sites then sat back for months and listened to the grass grow and a lonely cricket chirp in the distance.  A recent response to my second attempt at a question on one of them was for a member to write " Bueller .....Bueller".  Google it if you don't understand the reference.

This is a great place to get the information you are after and consider it similar to a bar or brothel. We know it's there but no one forces you in.

And by that metric this is certainly one of the healthiest forums a going.

And I just know George will moderate one of my other posts...'cos I used bad language...innit!  :-X

Hi all, looks like I have been missing out, RS just been reading up on all I have missed, this led me to your first ever post.

Jeeez
Get a grip guys 
This is a brilliant site with lots of useful information; but what is all this bickering about?  This is my first post and I hope it won't be my last.
Cheers

The Cr0 forum is the best place for BIR information/welcoming and being part of a community, freedom of speech is allowed here!
But people do tread on each other's toes but we make back up fast enough, women are allowed here, and I have always found members replies to my questions forward and honest.
Hope this helps Regards.

The reason they do it like that is precisely the reason that you stated....they need to get the curries onto the tables, or into the tubs, quickly. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to use the same method to achieve the same results.

I'm just trying to help, here
This will probably result in offensive remarks, but

The chefs don't just get the curry to the right heat and serve it
They get it to a ridiculously heat and maintain it for minutes

sometimes adding more water or gravy to prolong the high temperature cook

It is not simply to get the curries hot enough to serve

Plenty of ladies on this forum look at all the korma and recipes for nans ;D ;D ;D
