AI Summary
The discussion revolves around the elusive "smell" and "taste" of curry, with members sharing their experiences and opinions. One contributor notes that while the smell may not be apparent to the cook, it becomes noticeable to others entering the kitchen, and emphasizes the subjective nature of taste preferences across different regions. The community seems to agree that the journey of cooking and improving one's curry is more important than achieving a definitive answer about the perfect smell or taste, highlighting the diversity of opinions and experiences among members.

In my opinion, the smell's always there, its just that because we are cooking in it we don't smell it but when the missus comes in from outside, she says its there. Making a few curries the other week, I left the mess for a few hours and when I cam back to clear up it the smell everyone goes on about was there.

As for the taste, we are all striving to produce curries better than our locals but to me everyone's taste/local is different so I can't see everyone agreeing that we've hit the jackpot on the mystery ingredient, for example the Scottish people seem to like the Glasgow curries better than ours as they are more akin to what they normally get.

As long as you're happy with your curries and are having fun cooking them, that's what i think is important.

In my opinion of course.  :)

Because the members of CR0 (all of whom I love dearly) are actually a bunch of conspiracy theorists, and as soon as any new members declares his/her admiration for H4ppy Chris, they immediately suspect that the new member actually /is/ Chris pretending to be a fan in order to increase his kudos.  Now whether or not Chris /does/ actually post under one or more pseudonyms is another matter entirely ...
