Unreasonable curry disgrace

Blinking flip. I'm visiting my parents. They live in a town in the north of England. Takeaway curry required as its Friday.

AIBU to think that the vegetarian curry shouldn't contain Brussel sprouts. And it was bland. Yuk.


Any other disgusting curry ingredients?

Have you noticed how the chefs who do the vegetarian meals have never heard of a knife. I had half an onion in one of them. Not cut any further than that.

Indeed. But this was a frozen mixed veg in crappy sauce. Rubbish. With sprouts. The paneer starter was nice though. Real paneer.

Vegetarian curry is a disgrace.

Some foods just don't work well as veggie alternatives.

Well we live further south and the veggie curry is always nice. But they have no sprouts.

Sprouts in a curry? In the north of England? Where the hell are you?!

Are sprouts ever acceptable?

They're kind of a Christmas joke. Not proper food.

It's one of those things no one likes but eats because of tradition. Like wedding cake.

With half of India being veggie, it is a wonder how the standard style curry house don't tend to them well. I think it's getting better though, in the south at least!

Veggie curry should have mushrooms onions brocillo cauliflower, maybe pepper and mange tout.

But whenever I buy it it always seems to contain nasties like half a carrot aubergine sweet potato

Imperial I grew up here. We've been researching my family history and my mam's side have been there for generations but I wil never ever ever get a take away from here again.

It is north east England.

Never had sprout in a curry. Do you think they got the idea from bottom?

Better to order a thali for a decent load of veggie curries.

I put sprouts in the Boxing Day samosas, I must admit. But shredded, not whole; spiced, not bland.

Sprouts in August is a travesty.

I love spouts generally but not unexpectedly in a curry. Though to be fair it did just say mixed vegetable jalfrasi.

I thought you meant a bean sprout initially and was like....hmm yeah I suppose that's a bit weird. Then I realised what you meant and genuinely went Shock

I adore sprouts, but not in curry I think!

Laughing at people who think vegetarian curry is weird.
