What's the most disgusting thing you've found in your BIR curry?
« on: January 06, 2010, 12:21 PM »
I was thinking about some disgusting things I've found in my restaurant curries and they include:

- Christmas beetles  :-\
- daddy long legs (amongst the "curry sauce", which looked much like they'd taken it from the sink!), and   :o
- a multitude of the, all to frequent, thick, black, hairs!  :-X

What other disgusting things have members found?  ;D

Not in OUR curries, though, oh no!  ::)

To be honest? Not much except for the odd hair here and there. (That happens anywhere). I don't use a filtration system when eating a curry however so I could have missed something?

I think the amount of oil in all honesty but I know they like to pour on the oil.

It was one of my own and it was Iceland fresh chicken breast that should have still been in date for a few days. It was rancid! I've went off chicken breast now.

A couple of hairs for sure. I once found a beetle, well, what I thought was a beetle. Turned out to be a black cardamom!  ;D

I bit into a lovely looking piece of chicken at the start of a takeaway once, and instantly spat it out as a huge gush of some fluid burst from its innards.

I assume (hope) that it was just some very cheap water injected chicken they'd used! Needless to say I didn't eat any more of it.

Me and the Mrs went for a meal in a Chinese restaurant and ordered a chicken curry on the bone. When it came, it was half a chicken in curry sauce with boiled rice. I cut into the gap between leg and breast, and it just ran with blood! We just got up and left!!

Hmmmm, reminds of me when I was desperate for a curry in South Africa and ended up trying a "Bunny Chow" (a South African chicken curry in a hollowed out loaf of bread) from a fast food shop called "The Curry Cabin".  Trouble, for me, was that the chicken was, what I could only describe as, jiblets...GROSS!  :-\

I've actually never found anything untoward in BIR curry!

Not to mean there was never anything there, I just usually scoff it!

QuoteTurned out to be a black cardamom!

Hmm. SS - what finished curry was it? Black cardamon is very strong. I'm wondering what finished dish used this?

Black cardamom, I've had loads of them over the years from what was one of my regular T/As till a couple of years ago when the Trading Standards people shut it down because it was infested with cockroaches!!

Yes that is interesting. I haven't used them for about a year in all honesty and I have to say they add so much deep dark depth. I love them frankly, thanks for reminding me  ;D
