Topic: Why we cannot produce that missing taste ?

[ghanna]

Dear Pacman
Thank you
I am very glad to hear that such restaurant exist .
I wish that all  the restaurants become like that.
I love curries and i am addicted to it , i want to feel safe  when i am eating out specially when my family are with me.
But from what i heared i feel very bad about the whole experience of eating out.
I will be cooking and enjoying restaurant style curries at home, i know that i will be missing  that very special  taste , but tell me what else can i do ?
Could you please give me the names of these restaurants  ?
Thank you
ghanna

Hey Ghanna,
                  I've been in quite a few restaurant kitchens now.
They all were clean.
No grease or rubbish around.
I think as long as the curry gravy is reboiled it will get rid of any bacteria.
That is the only questionable area.
I have never had a bad tummy from eating restaurant food.
(unless it was my own fault with loads of chilli)
I don't think you need to worry about hygene.

Hi ,all
I spoke to the restaurant owner today. During the lunch hour they open and it is like an open buffet.
I confronted him with all my worries.But in a very professional way  and without hearting his feelings.
He was shocked, he wanted me to tell him who told me all that? He thought one of the chefs or the kitchen staff, he was in a very bad mood,but kept talking to me .
He didnot deny any thing,he promised me that a lot of things is going to change.
He was very afraid that i am going to report him to the health inspectors.I will never do that it is against my nature and i told him that.
At the end of the day all of us want to enjoy the curries.We don't want to loose them.
I prefer to keep quite about the questions that i asked him for a simple reason there are some things  in there which is really awful and disgusting.
At the end of the day all of us are human and we do mistakes.
He said a lot of things is going to be changed from tomorrow one  of this things he is going to buy another  curry gravy pot i.e from tommorrow there will be 2 curry gravy pots in the kitchen.
I am very very happy for this achievement and i wanted to share this with you all.
I think that he only talked to me because he don't want to loose the money that he gets from ( business lunches, parties , business meetings   ......etc )  from my organization and other  organizations that  are linked.
I felt very sorry for him and tried to comfort him as much as i could , All of us are human.
Thanks

  Ghanna  I would suspect  he carried on talking to you as he would be genuinly shocked at some of the things youve asked . This is their business .
I wouldn't just assume that all these restuarants do the same .
Up here in Scotland we have some excellent places . The one in our town is emmaculate ...ive seen the kitchen , they've also told me the practise of putting chicken jelly in the pots is long out of date .
Well thats my tuppence worth . shoot me down or ignore the post .

Hi, KEITH
I hope that not all of them are like this.
I will visit  some of the restaurants  in SCOTLAND  in my next trip
Keith ,there is nothing wrong in using chicken jelly or stock ,remember it is used  in all  cuisines .It is very good to our health.
Only when they keep it outside the fridge for 3-4 days with other ingredients and keep heating and cooling it over  and over again it becomes very dangerous.As well they should not deceive vegetarian customers
My self i used in all of my cooking, i cook the proper FRENCH chicken stock and i have a very very nice recipe from a FRENCH chef, please let me know and i will posted if you are interested.
thanks

The chicken jelly adds a deep rounded flavour.
What would you substitute it with?
Even if you used stock cubes, it's pretty much the same thing, isn't it?
Chicken oxo is dried boiled chicken bits with added flavour enhancers.
It might even be less healthy.

Thanks for your reply Ghanna. I know there is nothing wrong with using chicken stock . I thought the issue you had may be to do with adding chicken stock to vegitarian meals . Maybe i misunderstood .
And yes i would love your recipe for French chicken stock .
Thanks
Keith
