Topic: how bir chefs use whole spices

[Derek Dansak]

When i used to watch the chef at my local cook i noticed he had a jar of whole spices which they would re use. yes you heard me, re use.  yes they were that tight fisted  ;D. 
      they never leave whole spices in the curry as it turns customers away.  but i remember seeing a clove swimming around my bhoona during cooking, then its removed.
      So i guess they might re use a clove 3 or 4 times, or cassia bark and cardomaon pods in rice.
     Never assume they only use spice mix in your favourite dish, as they do drop in other whole spices, and remove them before serving.   
     Cr0 members often overlook pucka spices such as cloves, and nigella seeds and curry leafs. all are great in small amounts in my humble opinion .  my 2 peneth worth has been spent once again !  thats twice this week  ;D
