Was in store in Handsworth(Bham)buying Methi(two large bunches ?1.50)and was falling over various cans of ghee.Speaking to the store owner about the use of,he says the family use oil with a finish of ghee(roughly speaking,Idont speak urdhu or Punjabi too well!! Great shopping

As another suspected versatile Scot,do like Glenfiddich,but with a curry like Draught Guiness(tin)or Bathams.
Having said that she has just handed me a Jamesons,kind lady.

Mushroom Mike ,Hi mate,dont live in Warks ,but forage around back of Studley, Gt Alne area,as you say by streams damp areas,a fair old area.Originally from north of the border,but live in the Stourbridge area after moving from the Quinton area.Had the opportunity to forage for wild garlic again today all around the Bromyard area,Id say its going over slightly now.Made some more garlic butter with it,tastes good with bread in the oven for a wee while,but had it on new potatoes,lovely.Would like to meet Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall,would like his advice on killing grey squirrels,as he kills and eats them,they play havoc with all the bird feeders here,I could easily do away with them.

A very healthy dinner has just been consumed:starter Prawn gujons with chilli dip.Main Battered Haggis with home made chips and curry sauce.Desert: Home bread and butter pudding with cinnamon and cream. Managed to find room for pint of Bathams.As they say in the Black Country,apparently,"Bostin Fittle"  !!

Sorry to interrupt your thread Bob,I use my 12L stock pot,bought from Aldi ?19.99 and works well with all my curry tools on an induction hob(sorry Phil,but aluminium not compatible with aluminium normally as they don't conduct the heat through. Good luck with your purchases Bob.

Been foraging in the wilds of Warwickshire and collected a goodly bit of wild garlic.
Got home,washed it,used it in a Chicken Tikka salad with croutons and mayo,has anyone used it in a serious curry dish?Tasted ok with the salad.Perhaps it's good for arthritis!!!
