Death of the Taste

[Cory Ander]

Phil,

Frankly, I'm not particularly interested in what you've mainly been cooking this week, or what you plan to cook tomorrow ("laborious", you say?), but I really would like to try your Madras recipe....at your earliest convenience, if you please...and please don't forget 

[Aussie Mick]

Sorry fella's

Once again, an interesting and usefull thread turns into a Phil v CA thread.

I've learned LOADS of usefull stuff on CRO, but it seems lately that everything turns to arguments......WHY?

Please take a chill pill and calm down. We all have differing opinions, and healthy debate is healthy, but slanging matches help none of us that are eager to learn.

I love ya both...............please love us all back..............please.

Nice idea, Vinders, but I doubt the CR) has the financial resources to sponsor such an event.  It is hard enough for Stew to extract the odd GBP 100 from us when he needs to buy further network resources !  What we /might/ do (particularly if anyone has contacts in television) is to suggest the idea to some TV producers : it would have almost everything that modern-day television seems to require : emphasis on food, central roles for members of an ethnic minority, competition -- all that is lacking is the ousting of one chef a week until only one remains !

That would make for excellent viewing Phil, unfortunately I don't know anyone in media. I wonder if any of the other members do? Whether or nor CRO could provide financial help is another question, though perhaps there are other ways of approaching the question - perhaps some municipalities would be in favour of sponsoring a project (especially where there is an annual Indian-themed event in Southampton) or even some of the spice manufacturers. All this with help from CRO. It wouldn't be easy but maybe not impossible. On the other hand, maybe I should get back to the cooking ...

Apologies, Mike; apologies all.  You were quite right to take us to task, and I can only apologise for allowing myself to be drawn into this pointless (and seemingly endless) debate.  I will endeavour to ensure that I do not allow it to happen again.

Definitely not !  Ideas such as yours are a great way to breath new life into this forum.  Sadly I too do not know anyone in television (well, not in this country, at least, and I can't see the Czech Republic -- where I do have contacts -- being overly interested in the idea ...).  So, over to the other members of the forum ...

Don't want to make a big thing about this but well said Aussie Mick totally agree  what you said and having the balls to say it.
And Phil hands up for apologising
Sometimes if its not positive then best not to answer at all
Since being on this site my curries have improved so much with the help from this forum
So lets be positive with some fun
We are all in the same boat here or curry house

I think Phils probably right.  The notion that a BIR curry is currently not as it should be wouldnt go down too well with the multi-million industry that it is now.  Also, the popular media tend to highlight the newer, up-market, modern curry cuisine, where many of the traditional dishes arent even on the menu.  But, its a good idea and on a smaller scale could attract interest; local radio perhaps?

I think it may be the best approach! I read your original comments on the pastes you bought and they made sense to me.

Then why not take that approach yourself then George?
Instead of, once again, sticking your nose in and stirring things up again with that final comment of yours. :

I've now deleted that comment, so please remove your post, or give clearance for me to remove it, together with this post.
