Hello Graeme, i've not ben posting for a while either as i've just only moved into my new house, i now have an extraction hood that extracts to the outside world and can make my whole street smell like curry while instead of complaints from me missus.
Let me get sorted and i'll get experimenting and posting again.

Hopefully we'll see the old regulars back here when the weather has cooled down!
My curry season starts around sep/oct.

Yeah we are in the middle of a heat wave at the moment but i'm still eating\cooking the same amount of curry  8) 

I do think the hot weather partly to blame for the lack of recent posts as I would much rather be outside than sat in front of a pc  ;D

Hi all,

We've been going out to restaurants for the last 5/6 weeks.  It's been quite nice although I still maintain that my curries on the whole are better that bir's.  There's no consistency with them.  When I make a dish it comes out the same all of the time.  Obviously it's a combination of different chefs cooking and different restaurants.  CQ

A huge proportion of Curry Houses in Cornwall are basically turning out total crap, they put even less effort into the dishes now, lets be honest, your average Brit wouldn't know a good Curry from a bucket of reconstituted Hot n spicy Vomit !!  ;D
