I agree String28

But each to their own, hey, as you rightly say  :P

Trust me, String28, I've seen much worse (and, again, I don't necessarily mean my own  ;))

As far as I'm concerned, this forum is about replicating BIR curries, not about what tasty curries you can buy at the supermarket.  If you're going to do that, why bother at all?  Just go to your favourite local BIR and buy one.  For the less ambitious (and penny pinching) amongst us, I suppose we can always go to Morrisons or Lidl....

There's nothing wrong with discussing pre-made curries IMO as I'm sure quite a few members will buy the supermarket made at some point.  It has received 6 pages of posts after all, if you don't wish to discuss certain topics, why not stay out of them instead of constantly trying to have a go at certain members you have a grudge against? Not trying to stifle debate and discussion again are you, CA?

You're entitled to your opinion Domi.  Most of the six pages appear to to me to be in bewilderment as to why a long standing member would be advocating such a thing as supermarket curries on this forum  :-\

Surely I'm entitled to my opinion every bit as much as you Domi?  Or are you trying to "stifle debate"?  Perhaps it's OK as long as they agree with you, SS and George then is it?  :-\

Hi

This got me thinking, how can a business put pre cooked rice into a container. Then pre cooked chicken with a pre made sauce plus additions and serve it up as freshly prepared. Well hey that's what you call a take away.

The chilled food process is the next step on.

Regards

Not at all, CA...it's just that the majority of your posts lately are nothing but insult and seldom have anything to do with any kind of debate or discussion, they're merely picking fights and bullying other members. In fact I can't find one of your posts which is not in some way having a dig at someone :/ you accuse others of having nothing but negative comments, yet you persist in your childish behaviour despite it being obvious that you're being ignored (in this respect I refer to your posts and comments made to George). Yes others may have questioned George's thread topic, but they certainly haven't lowered themselves to your standards and started insulting anyone. What is the need for it, exactly? or rather, what pleasure is it giving you?

commis for a start its nothing like a take away.
you dont get mass production in a take away its cooked there and then when you want it.
Also the cooking methods are not the same so again nothing like a take away or bir.
I mean are any of you gonna take the recipe off the supermarket curry and cook it yourself? Or even cook in the way that all mass produced food is cooked?
I guess each to their own.
Think weve lost what the forum is about IMO

That may be true, string, but it is a discussion about curries and since members do apparently still buy supermarket curries/sides/nans etc it's surely not too far of a stretch to discuss the merits/demerits of supermarket curries, surely? I don't buy them personally but I don't mind others discussing it. I suppose it could also be handy to know which supermarket curries are decent enough in desperate times too, though personally I'd rather have a takeaway or do without a curry altogether in those instances lol.

I keep saying Domi each to their own but the problem is when people are trying to put a supermarket curry in the same breath with ta or bir!
Now im sure a lot of the posts on this topic are just tongue in cheek to get at one of the member on here.
All the years ive looked at the forum and ive never seen a post like this before in the talk curry thread.
