I think if there is a enough of us who would be willing to stump up 100 quid each then that would be a good start to finally put our quest to rest. 

The next step would be to "advertise" our venture and if any BIR chefs bite then someone like Admin and/or Cory Ander would be needed to see if we were buying into the right genuine high quality BIR recipe we are looking for.

The simplest way I can think of doing this is to actually try before we buy.  But we might end up kissing a lot of frogs before we meet our prince, so to speak.


I would definitely put up 100 GBP and I think Cory and SBF have also indicated they probably would.   Anyone else?

Some good points there Haldi but in my original question was hypothetical and the recipe you would be buying would have to tick every box on your personal wish list for a home made BIR.  My one hundred pound offer would be a bargain if I could get exactly what I want.

I was thinking the other day about my local BIR and how much I would be willing to pay for their recipe for a Madras/vindaloo.  It would have to be 100% guaranteed to recreate their recipe to the point that it would be indistinguishable from their own every time.   I would also have to be able to make it in my own kitchen.

After pondering on this for a while, I would probably be willing to pay ?100.

What would you be willing to pay for your favourite dish from your favourite BIR using my wish list above? 

I have one but I think it is only a cheap version because it doesnt seem to do anything but make my arm ache from all the winding.

You will soon be a master chef CF!

Hi Panpot, I dont know much about blow torches other than they are used to caramelise ingredients, so potentially yes one could be used but how I dont know.

Excellent post Garry, did the chef mention anything about chicken stock?

Can't wait to here your results CF.  Are you going to use chicken stock?

I like how he ranked the bases.

Admin, how did the curry go?  Is still the closest to a BIR?
