I think if you want supermarket curry you get what you pay for. ?1.49
so packing them work to produce them and then the trucks delivering them.
Thats tells you what you are eating simple really.

The thing is, if we food nazis haven't actually had a supermarket curry for a number of years, we can hardly comment on their taste or flavour now, can we? It's the same as someone talking about BIR curries and arguing points when they haven't been in the country for ten years...they have no idea of what BIR is like NOW as they only know what they were like THEN and there's been a heckuva lot of changes to BIR :

Perhaps there's been some major improvements to S/M curries that we wouldn't know about lol maybe we've been missing something?

I agree we should have a topic on this im just saying IMO i dont think curries from a supermarket are that nice.
Your right Domi its good to discuss topics like this.
I think sometimes its gets lost in all the personal fueds that are going on.

I keep saying Domi each to their own but the problem is when people are trying to put a supermarket curry in the same breath with ta or bir!
Now im sure a lot of the posts on this topic are just tongue in cheek to get at one of the member on here.
All the years ive looked at the forum and ive never seen a post like this before in the talk curry thread.

LOL! I get what you're saying, string but in a way I'm surprised that supermarket curries haven't been discussed at some point. There are bound to be some members who have eaten them regularly though after joining this forum I must admit I'd have to wonder why they still would Having said that, I feel the same about supermarket lasagnes, quiches, chillis etc too everything tastes better made at home fresh but if everyone made everything at home the supermarkets wouldn't bother stocking them, would they? Someone's buying this stuff lol and I know it's not me

It'd be interesting to know how many members buy other Indian dishes from the supermarkets/other outlets if not curries, then naans, rice, chapattis, samosas, popadoms etc which may come in handy for those who don't/can't/aren't inclined make their own fresh at home....and this is the forum to discuss it

Yes i will elaborate for you Secret Santa when you do the same  ;D

LMAO here goes!!!!!

What because you cooked it in an bir style its gonna change it by magic is that what your suggesting?

Certainly, although there's no magic involved. And to be honest I fail to see what there is to LMAO about. Care to elaborate?   

I`m finding this amusing to tell you the truth!  ;D

I thought I already had elaborated string28. I said cook it BIR style. That should be elaboration enough if you've cooked any of the curries on the forum!   

Oh, BANG goes another happy cr0 member then SS! 

Nicely elaborated mate, I take my hat off to you!  :

LMAO here goes!!!!!
Yep you cook it in the bir style but again its the same INGREDIENTS what will change the flavor?

Thats in your opinion Secret Santa
IMO most people wouldnt agree with you.
Also with the same stuff they cook in a supermarket how would it taste good?

Also the cooking methods are not the same so again nothing like a take away or bir.
I mean are any of you gonna take the recipe off the supermarket curry and cook it yourself? Or even cook in the way that all mass produced food is cooked?

The debate over supermarket curries aside, are you seriously suggesting that BIR curries aren't mass produced?!   

And actually, if you did take the recipe from a mass produced supermarket curry and made it BIR style, I think you'd find yourself with a very decent curry too.

commis for a start its nothing like a take away.
you dont get mass production in a take away its cooked there and then when you want it.

I guess each to their own.
Think weve lost what the forum is about IMO

That will be my new signature!!! "Each To Their Own"
lol

I was starting to wonder like.  ;D
I must admit a strange topic in a curry recpie forum.
