Cheers buddy ;D

I love what you've done with Ashoka thing, especially the pictures of the little known pastes and purees. Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure what all these lastest ramblings have in relation to this post.

they certainly don't seem to be getting us any better information or evidence in achieving better results in our cooking.

it matters little what anyone of use feels in terms of thresholds, myths and what ever u want to add onto the list.

what we need is factual evidence to try out at home. the proof is that each person then adopts the information and uses it repeatedly with improved results.

Panpoot is a real hero in this area having done it for us all. for the rest of us if u don't like the idea of marg then don't us - it's as simple as that.

"Ramblings" Jerry....or valid opinions? 

they certainly don't seem to be getting us any better information or evidence in achieving better results in our cooking[

And they probably aren't taking us further away, either, are they, Jerry?

Why not Jerry?  Is something that confirms with your opinion a valid "opinion"?  And do you consider something that doesn't confirm your opinion as "rambling"?  All opinions are valid aren't they?  Whether you agree with them or not.

what we need is factual evidence to try out at home

Yes, Jerry..FACTUAL...not ill conceived logic!  Sorry, no offence, but I get a little irritable when someone states, for instance, that a chef' spoon is "crucial" and that "margarine is probably widely used"!  I think these "matter of fact" statements potentially take us further away from our goal

Yes, Panpot has done a sterling job and I totally agree with what you are saying

[JerryM]

CA,

no offence but i can see from your onslaught that it's not even worth me replying and i'll just ignore all of your further posts.

if you're going to take offence about me saying a chef's spoon is crucial and marg is widely used it just beggars belief for me and we're clearly not on the same planet.

It's all about the discussion Jerry! That's all we have. Recipes we're assured are genuine, experience of our more successful recipes to reply upon (sorting the wheat from the chaff), and discussion to get the best of our collective experience! Chill out buddy After all, it's only curry

it's only curry

How dare you say that. 

[Panpot]

Our passion for this stuff in some cases like my own could be like an obsession. Curry might not be the healthiest of foods and being almost consumed by it's seduction probably isn't healthy either. Without all the guys past and present who make this forum magical then it wouldn't be able to do it's thing and both of you are up there with the best of them for enthusiasm and more importantly commitment and experience. What about three deep breaths probably better taken away from a certain aroma. What I would love is for you to provide some inspired leadership especially for the less experienced and less adventurist members and take the gifts I was given by the Ashoka Chef and show us what is possible with the basics  he uses to produce over 30 mouth watering dishes. Maybe if you did along with the other Stalwarts past and present we could aim for a full BIR menu standard. If it helped I could post a list of all the individual componants I witnessed and use it as a checklist to go back for more especially the Patia base. Remember too they use lemon dressing for something!!! Take care Panpot.

Bobby,

i'm very happy with what u say and see real advantage from it. it's when the discussion seems to be getting personal and u begin to feel that your posts are being unduly scrutinised to the point of obsession. u start to feel u don't won't to post anymore and that's not good for anyone.

i have some ideas going fwd as i see this a crucial aspect of the site - ie it's friendliness which i feel is under threat.

sorry to be messing up your post - not intended. i'm about to post in a new post to enable further full and meaningful discussion.

best wishes

You're absolutely right, and I too hate when that happens - it has happened to me in the past also. I hope I have never made you feel that way, as you have always been kind to me.

For me, certain (usually more arrogant) members do make me feel like they won't be done arguing with me until they've driven me into the ground in a pool of my own tears, and provided a signed confession stating that they are right. This will usually involve lots of quotes of things I've said, and their black and white interpretation of how valid they are. Certain other members however, make me feel very comfortable, with a helpful push in the right direction (CK, for example, has always given off that vibe to me). I think the latter approach is far more helpful to everyone.
