Don't worry, you're entirely entitled to your opinions. I was just interested in the reasons. You're right though, you should really be a vegetarian.

Well, they're called coquelet in Lidl!

And "poussin" in Waitrose, but as far as I am concerned they are too young to be killed and eaten.  Not seeking to start an argument, just felt I had to get it off my chest.

** Phil.

Is this an ethical stance? I couldn't find any information. Could you clarify? Or is it just that they're too small?

That'll be the general plan if I run short on time (or enthusiasm).

Missus has said a definite 'no' to the stuffed peppers. But she like the idea of just doing 2 curries and doing a mini Murgh-e-Musallam using 'coquelet' (small chickens in French) stuffed with the mince and maybe some quails eggs.

Cheers guys.

The stuffed peppers idea is getting dangerously close to stepping on the missus' toes, sounds too much like one of her Turkish recipes for comfort. The chicken idea might work, or maybe I could use a smaller bird...I'm keen to do something with fresh spinach for some reason.

I have an up and coming curry night to organise. Only the 4 of us, so I'll be doing 3 dishes. Probably CTM as I'm not sure if they like their food too spicy, plus a not too hot North India special.

Which leaves the last dish, I'd planned to do something with chicken but the missus has told me I have to use up some mince that she's already mixed with garlic and onion.

Any suggestions? I don't really want another yogurt based dish. I don't usually cook curry with vegetables but I could be persuaded. I don't really want to have to cook a traditional Indian dish with all the other stuff I have to do.

Thanks.

I've always skimmed, just because CT does it in his video and it's just become automatic. I do worry that I'm losing some valuable oil with the scum though.

Jesus, you don't even cook the chicken.

That would depend if it was out of my pocket or out of  company expenses ;D

Looking at UBs figures shows why a lot of restaurants are cutting corners!
