Frank,

Where can I find the 'BIR poopooingsite'?

Wasn't sure if it was ok to mention it, so i left out the link in my post.
But you know it Ray, i saw you'd posted there recently

I found it by searching Google for a stretch of text [1] lifted directly from the post.
It's called "Mamta's Kitchen Forum".

I don't see what's wrong with a link to mamtaskitchen. It is a useful resource although not BIR.
Any spice mix (or gm) with a significant quantity of mace or nutmeg would have me running for miles.
I don't think mace or nutmeg feature much in BIR food.

I'll try and put this to bed

Can we once and for all clear up this mistake

For me this has been an interesting topic but how the hell has it gone on so long

Spicey, you keep going until you are clear on it mate!  If you're unclear, you can bet your bottom dollar that many other members are too! 

Those that aren't interested in it needn't respond.

Yes, Keep it going, Must admit I'm "not the sharpest knife in the drawer," ;D But I have learned a lot about GM from this thread, (in fact to the point of making my own ) And possibly other new members will find it useful

Hi Frank,

Yes, I know the one ;D  Strange how the other side of the coin looks isn't it, and how a lot of their comments, mirror what has been said on here over the years about traditional Indian food.

I didn't really want to get into an argument with them as BIR is not their focus, so I backed off

I don't see a problem with posting the link either, it's nothing to do with BIR is it?

I had been composing on and off for a day or so wondering whether to post or not as i have done with some threads here 
But in the end, i couldn't be bothered as there's only a few purists that post on that site.

I Was going to conclude with, "If it wasn't for the British Indian Restaurant this website wouldn't exist" 
What i will say here is,
I've travelled around India and the UK and eaten some fantastic food. And "at the end of the day", a good curry is a good curry regardless of whether its BIR or traditional.

P.s. couldn't help getting the footballers favourite phrase in

Yes, but the problem is, Frank, we don't have a level playing field.  Making a good curry really is a game of two halves, and it's not over yet ... !
