I think you'll find that the original report was based on Asda's bulk curries, George, rather than their pre-packed ones; whilst I would never suggest that they are as good as a decent BIR, the bulk ones are not too bad, particularly if you are willing to respice them once you get them home. I did try a Lidl curry once, when it was on special offer; probably much the same quality as an Asda bulk curry.
