Topic: What's the most disgusting thing you've found in your BIR curry?

[Cory Ander]

I was thinking about some disgusting things I've found in my restaurant curries and they include:

- Christmas beetles 
- daddy long legs (amongst the "curry sauce", which looked much like they'd taken it from the sink!), and   
- a multitude of the, all to frequent, thick, black, hairs!  :-X

What other disgusting things have members found?  ;D

Not in OUR curries, though, oh no!  :

To be honest? Not much except for the odd hair here and there. (That happens anywhere). I don't use a filtration system when eating a curry however so I could have missed something?

I think the amount of oil in all honesty but I know they like to pour on the oil.

It was one of my own and it was Iceland fresh chicken breast that should have still been in date for a few days. It was rancid! I've went off chicken breast now.

A couple of hairs for sure. I once found a beetle, well, what I thought was a beetle. Turned out to be a black cardamom!  ;D

I bit into a lovely looking piece of chicken at the start of a takeaway once, and instantly spat it out as a huge gush of some fluid burst from its innards.

I assume (hope) that it was just some very cheap water injected chicken they'd used! Needless to say I didn't eat any more of it.

Me and the Mrs went for a meal in a Chinese restaurant and ordered a chicken curry on the bone. When it came, it was half a chicken in curry sauce with boiled rice. I cut into the gap between leg and breast, and it just ran with blood! We just got up and left!!

Hmmmm, reminds of me when I was desperate for a curry in South Africa and ended up trying a "Bunny Chow" (a South African chicken curry in a hollowed out loaf of bread) from a fast food shop called "The Curry Cabin".  Trouble, for me, was that the chicken was, what I could only describe as, jiblets...GROSS!

I've actually never found anything untoward in BIR curry!

Not to mean there was never anything there, I just usually scoff it!

Turned out to be a black cardamom!

Hmm. SS - what finished curry was it? Black cardamon is very strong. I'm wondering what finished dish used this?

[CurryOnRegardless]

Black cardamom, I've had loads of them over the years from what was one of my regular T/As till a couple of years ago when the Trading Standards people shut it down because it was infested with cockroaches!!

Yes that is interesting. I haven't used them for about a year in all honesty and I have to say they add so much deep dark depth. I love them frankly, thanks for reminding me  ;D
