At the moment IMHO M&S are doing very well in the 4 min ping race, very well indeed :-)
Its sure it's not going to be BIR but for a one/two person quick meal (or side)
i am sure its ok, to be honest i hope its up to M&S standards and quite nice 

Regards Graeme.

This should be taken to Admin, can someone explain to admin whats been going on.

i started no thread and once again no apology from the mod for getting it wrong again..

Help !!

Naga,
I have sent a PM to ask for this matter to be looked into..

Why not send George a "PM" then he can post your PM it in the
forum for all to read. Add that to the selected deleted posts
(they won't be in his log)

I stopped posting a while ago because of this guy.

This site is about BIR so 90% of the time
i am very much in the mix powder camp.

Yes Curryhell 
The list of spices you mention i would normally
use as or within a Garam masala.
Used either whole or ground, they are all quite dark strong spices.
Also i would use (for example) madras curry powder in a spice mix, but
it would be only about 1/6th-1/8th of the mix.

One simple mix powder i always use is called Dhana Jeera (Dhanajiru Powder)
I always mix my own often grinding the the spices.

But i don't make a meal of it :-)

"Does anybody remember the really sticky KFC Spare ribs"

I do they were very nice, as I remember Sherry and five spice (or maybe Chinese sherry @ star anise)
played a nice part when opening the box.
Sadly as you said after about 2 years they vanished.
Back in the day, we always bought them
