Has anyone here ever heard of Supreme curry powder?

Funny enough one of the few places you can buy them from is the RCR online store, thats a bit of luck  ::)

This is from one of my posts earlier in this thread George.

Oh and by the way, don't you think it's just a tad suspicious that Anne, a moderator, is the mouthpiece/owner of the RCR spice suppliers? Did you not find it weird that the latest attempt at BIR replication needed a particular brand of curry mix that is not (generally) available to the British public, but is surprisingly easily available from the RCR spice shop?

Also if you read RCR you would have seen that his alternative to this proprietary brand was almost word for word a copy of a Pat Chapman curry powder which he claimed he had spent a lot of time researching and phoning his contacts in the trade to obtain!

What always amuses me with Andy is how the bloke thinks he can just rip off other people's recipes and present them in virtually the exact same form and yet not get pulled up for it. What a mug.

Just one more nail in his coffin isn't it?

I agree. I think our questions and criticisms are valid and for Andy to disprove if he can rather than anyone saying we're just being nasty for the sake of it. Something else I can't start to believe is that a manufacturer of a proprietary blend like curry powder would diviluge the mix/recipe to anyone, beyond what they're forced to print on the packet. It would be like phoning McDonalds to ask for the recipe for their Big Mac sauce, or KFC for the mix to make the chicken coating - they would NEVER tell you.

You'll probably choose not to clearly answer these simple questions.  I think they are reasonable questions seeking to clarify the situation and add credence to your bir restaurant recipe claims on both rcr and in the ebook. But you'll probably treat them with contempt and ridicule and dismiss them as being irrelevant.  In which case you only have yourselves to blame for the ongoing doubt and mistrust that you've created haven't you

Oh the silence is deafening.  And doesnt it speak volumes  ::)

And apparently rcr is "the fastest growing indian community on the internet" with over 5500 members now  ::)

They welcome the likes of "Jinesversinger", "Neupquerycapy", "Opebsistuptuh" (presumably from Nigeria  ::)), "UphoxiaponRip", "encantoghehido (Ethiopia?) and so on.  I could go on and name another 5000 plus similar common names but ill spare you the tedium  ::)

And some of the names are really so obscure as to be unbelievable such as the ones who actually post "CurryCanuck", "Channa Doll", "adminAndy", "IanR", "King Prawn" etc  ::)

Who is this guy really trying to kid  ::)

hahahahh, you're really funny IanR roflamo

I never knew I was so many schizophrenic characters  ;D

Whilst im really flattered Im sure many of those people will be truly insulted  :P

At least all the names make sense though hey  ;)

Anyway its totally besides the point ian.  Im not claiming to have recipes from a restaurant that has been in existance for 10 years plus now am i  ::)

Nor am i trying to get 15 quid a pop for an ebook off the back of that claim am i

Nor does it answer the questions i posed does it

Try and keep up with the plot mate, hey  ::)

If anyones interested it appears this ebook is coming out tomorrow, funny enough demand is so HIGH that there will be a queue for the downloads.  I'm fairly sure that the queue is likely to be made up of the four members of RCR that are actually real so don't expect to wait to long before your are parted from your money  ;)

Another note of interest is that it appears this is just volume 1 so get ready to hand out another 15 pounds in the very near future, what a surprise  ::)

No one got it then, it's hardly surprising for 15 pounds and the fact that it must have some sort of malware in it.  According to the T&C's you can't print it until you are deemed safe to be allowed a print option!  Also if you print it then scan it in and publish it on the web they will know and deactivate your ebook, not quite sure how they are going to do that.   EDIT I've just seen that there is a hidden code on each page that only they can see it's invisible to everyone else, I'm sure a scanner is going to pick that up then  ;D

I'm more interested to know if the name of the restaurant is in it than the recipes, if it is who's up for going  ;D

As they seem to be ?experts? as securing the document by various watermarks perhaps their time would be better spent concentrating and selling internet security  ;D
