If that were true Bobby, wouldn't there be pork on the menu. This is a popular meat in Goa and some southern areas of India. A Muslim will not touch pork.

The cow (beef) is also a sacred animal to the Hindu??? In India they eat buffalo rather than cow. It is unlikely that a Hindu restaurant would offer beef on a menu.

I also know that there a lot of restaurants that advertise using halal meat, which also suggests Muslim owned.

According to the Guardian 2002, there are 8,500 Indian restaurants in UK, of which roughly 7,200 are Bengali.

Went for a take-away earlier tonight.
Raj (Manager) says "can you make it here at 12.30 on Saturday? You and I are making the curry gravy".

Well who am I to refuse. Cant wait .....

Hopefully I'll have stacks to report back to you by the evening.

Watch this space.

I assume that most Indian Restaurant owners are likely to be Hindu? I ask because I'm genuinely curious.

Hi Bobby

Most that I know are of the Muslim religion. I think the majority of Indian/Pakistani restaurants and takeaways in UK are Muslim (rather than Hindu).

However, another favourite of mine is a Karalean restaurant and the manager and chefs are Roman Catholics (I believe Karala has a high percentage of RC).

Hey guys, what's happening?

Is this book written by a member of another forum then?

Is it just another scam?

Has anyone read the ebook or looked at the recipes?

Is it worth getting?
... or is everything about this ebook not a topic of discussion on this forum

More info please ...

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't asked now!!

From what I can see, if the necessary information isn't available from this forum (for free) with its many very experienced members, then it certainly ain't going to be available on any other forum (free or otherwise).

As for bad language - well it really isn't necessary - and idiots who register with inappropriate and offensive names, just so they can spout off, really need to grow up - or go to another forum. :-[
