Everyone said they were the best I had ever made.

Did it have the "taste" ?  Im tempted to try it but im not sure about putting that jelly into my nice fresh pot of gravy.

I do think my currys now have that taste just I can't taste it   

Thats the one looks fantastic 

Maybe my nose has got used to it, making it week in week out it probably would

because it smells bloody awful & very overpowering with that chemical smell when its being boiled.

I'm not sure what base you make but mine smells fantastic while cooking especially after adding the spice!  I even taste my base now as I'm cooking it, tastes nice on its own.

When the onion base and meat are combined
? ?to make a madras or any other dish, maybe some of this sauce from the
? ?meat is added into the equation?

I think this is right, ive made a number of currys with chicken and a few with prawn, the prawn currys although nice do lack the extra flavour of the chicken. ?I cook the prawns in water and turmeric and thats about it but the chicken I use this method https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=158.0

This came from a restaurant chef and to me is bang on, a bit of the sauce goes in due it just running of the plate and I think improves the taste.

I don't think theres much chance, I signed up for their monthly newsletter with recipes etc.. nearly 2 years ago now and I still haven't seen a single one!

If you were to eat BIR curry every day, say starting at 8 years old, you would surely be dead before you reached 40.

Well that gives me another 20 years then  ;D

Maybe its because they prefer authentic curry to our BIR.  The chef that showed me said he eats it but prefers authentic curry but I don't think thats the general opinion of chefs the majority have said because its unhealthy.  Another thing why would they say that when theres a possibility that you might agree with them and not come back to the restaurant again 

Yeah I'm sure that nothing goes to waste in the restaurant so its definitely a possibility, just seems a bit eek

Remember peeps there are people who lurk on this forum who i am convinced give dis-information to throw you off the trail or for a laugh.
I don't want to start an argument but some peoples comments are suspect............

Ive thought that myself, for all we know there is a chef or two on here that are trying to through a spanner in the works 

I can't see why though im sure that most chefs are approachable and don't mind talking about it once you know them.
