Author Topic: Is this the secret?  (read 3,540 times)

AI Summary
The discussion revolves around the idea that the enjoyment of curry may stem from the anticipation and hunger rather than the actual differences in the recipes. Participants humorously acknowledge that the effort put into cooking, experimenting with techniques, and the social aspect of sharing these experiences are significant, even if the end result may not always differ greatly from what they could make themselves. There is a general consensus that the process of cooking and the enjoyment of the meal, whether prepared by oneself or someone else, plays a crucial role in the overall experience.

Is this the secret?

Is this the secret? - we are just hungry and our mouths are drooling and in need of a curry so we think its different to the ones we cook - lets face it having one cooked for you rather than preparing and cooking!!!

Ah the missing 5% at last :o.  But we already knew this.  We just don't like to admit it otherwise we'd have no excuse for spending hours in the kitchen trying a new gravy / spice mix / technique, turning the house into a BIR yet again to the wife's disgust, cooking pot upon pot of curry and washing it down with gallons of beer ;D.  And besides what an earth would we have to talk about on the forum? :( ;D ;D ;D

Depends on who's cooking it and whether it is what I would really like and expect from a BIR..... :)
