Quote from: string28 on May 06, 2010, 04:59 PMI 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.LOL! I get what you're saying, string but in a way I'm surprised that supermarket curries haven't been discussed at some point. There are bound to be some members who have eaten them regularly though after joining this forum I must admit I'd have to wonder why they still would Having said that, I feel the same about supermarket lasagnes, quiches, chillis etc too everything tastes better made at home fresh but if everyone made everything at home the supermarkets wouldn't bother stocking them, would they? Someone's buying this stuff lol and I know it's not me It'd be interesting to know how many members buy other Indian dishes from the supermarkets/other outlets if not curries, then naans, rice, chapattis, samosas, popadoms etc which may come in handy for those who don't/can't/aren't inclined make their own fresh at home....and this is the forum to discuss it

The thing is, if we food nazis haven't actually had a supermarket curry for a number of years, we can hardly comment on their taste or flavour now, can we? It's the same as someone talking about BIR curries and arguing points when they haven't been in the country for ten years...they have no idea of what BIR is like NOW as they only know what they were like THEN and there's been a heckuva lot of changes to BIR :Perhaps there's been some major improvements to S/M curries that we wouldn't know about lol maybe we've been missing something?
LMAO here goes!!!!!Yep you cook it in the bir style but again its the same INGREDIENTS what will change the flavor?What because you cooked it in an bir style its gonna change it by magic is that what your suggesting?Oh ive cooked many thing from the forum BIR & TA RECPIES.Quote from: Secret Santa on May 06, 2010, 05:30 PMQuote from: string28 on May 06, 2010, 05:22 PMI mean its the same ingredients what would change the flavour you should elaborate for us Secret Santa.Sorry, string, not meaning to be pedantic but of course the flavour would change if you used the same ingredients, scaled down to make a single portion of whichever dish and made it fresh a la BIR stylie and ate it as soon as it was prepared, to claim otherwise is wrong IMO and I would expect any member of long standing to know as much.We've all tasted fresh made curries the day after and noted the difference in flavour. Even home made chillis, spag bols and stews taste different the day after......would different cooking technique alter the final flavour? absolutely yes it would if any of the myriad of posts about technique are to be believed on this board, simply frying an onion for a couple of minutes greatly alters the taste as opposed to caremelising onions makes a huge difference! To claim anything other is wrong... :/

I think if you want supermarket curry you get what you pay for. ?1.49so packing them work to produce them and then the trucks delivering them. Thats tells you what you are eating simple really.

Thats tells you what you are eating simple really.I agree, it is simple, but apparently you haven't heard of economy of scale. That 1.49 is like you or me having 15 quid in our pocket to make a curry with. And yes it still comes out sub standard compared to a good BIR, but that's because it's not cooked BIR style. Seriously, I thought that would be obvious!
