I get it from Great Cornish Foods (an independent annexe to Waitrose in Truro, Cornwall).  But it can be ordered online and delivered, from/by Pipers Farm.  Hope that helps !

I'm afraid not, PWN, at least in my case.  But I am delighted to see such a question being asked here, because questions such as yours hark back to the "good old days" of CR0, when this was a truly thriving forum.  Perhaps your question will inspire others — I most certainly hope so.  And perhaps even the long-departed such as CBM, Razor, Domi et al might poke their heads above the parapets once again — they are truly missed.

P.S.  I am planning to attempt a "cull yaw" (= "culled ewe") dhansak in the very near future — call yaw pre-cook complete, only the final dish remains.

However, after a fall (in public), whilst hurrying to work, I 'hurt' my right arm and a couple of ribs.. Ribs are fine.. arm not so much.. as I am reminded everytime I try to stir anything!

I fractured my spine in two places last year, BAJ (T12 / L4), so I know just how you feel and you have my heart-felt sympathy ...

No hope, Rob, if they're led to believe that chips are a valid accompaniment to curries !

Ah, squirrels — I love them !  Here's one of mine, looking distinctly chilly today ...

Oh yes, now you mention it, I do remember Vencats.  But the fact that it was "by Sharwoods" is little in the way of recommendation ... !

My mum's curry recipe from the early '70's.

And in exchange, my late mother's transcription of her late mother's recipe for Christmas Pudding — the truncated part would have read "Barley wine" before it was partially obscured by parcel tape ...  Better (IMHO) than any of today's commercial offerings, good tho' some are ...

I wonder what curry powder was used.

So do I, but sadly neither Cookery Illustrated and Household Management (my late mother's, dated 1936) not my copy of Constance Spry give any glue.  What does intrigue me, tho', is that CI&HM's recipe calls for both "curry powder" and "curry paste" (I had no idea that the latter was around in 1936, and CS says that it contains ingredients not found in the powder [I suspect mustard oil !]), and also has a recipe for chicken pilao, the latter a complete surprise.

Afterthought :  almost certainly Veeraswamy's, an inadvertant mis-spelling of Veerasawmy :

QuoteEdward Palmer (an Anglo-Indian retired British Indian Army officer, the grandson of an English general and an Indian princess) used the name E. P. Veeraswamy for his food business and the book; Veeraswamy was his grandmother's family name. Initially it was spelled Veerasawmy, it became Veeraswamy because of a printing error.
