I havent been for a curry (indian one at least) for over two years (it occured to me the other day) so i am going for one tonight. So i am excited, a)at the thought of a lovely rich lamb bhuna with veg rice and popadums (i love lime pickle) and b)cos i am getting DP to myself for a few hours.

Oh and actually, this is all the thought of someone here who started a thread about asking to get creamy curries made hotter! Ive not been able to stop thinking about curries since.

3andnomore, well ours was sort of like it sounds lovely on the menu and then it was disappointing mine was ok DPs was a bit rubbish tbh. BUT we enjoyed each others company and got it out of our system for another two years!

How was it? Hope you had a good time.
I was so pelased wiht the Indian we went too as the food totally exactly tasted as delicious and just as I imagined when reading the menu, you hvae it so often that things sound better written down then they actually then taste...

YANBU. Me and dh went out for a curry on Monday, the first time we'd been out since Xmas. We were ridiculously giddy and insisted on regaling the waiting staff with tales of 'we used to come in here all the time until we had children...'

Oblomov · 29/06/2007 16:39

ok, I 'll take the shit and credit then !

Oblomov · 29/06/2007 16:38

HELLO is no one listening -
It was me, who started Lucy's mouth watering re the curry.

Sorry, sorry, calming down now.
I am going for my work curry on wednesday, Lucy.

We do have an amazing Thai resturant around here but it is expensive and its not curry is it, well not in the turn up at 5 to eleven slightly wobbly and still be given a table type curry We keep that one for special occaions. Best thai i ever had was in switzerland - don't i sound cosmopolitan now - that was on the last holiday i probably will have for the next 10 years though.

2 years without a curry

Radley · 29/06/2007 16:31

Chicken Tikka Masala, Lemon Rice, Poppadoms and Naan bread

Which a starter to share of

Bombay potatoes, Onion Bhaji, Mushroom Pakora and Chicken Pakora, with lashings of mint yogurt.

3andnomore · 29/06/2007 16:27

lol...dh and I went for an Indian with some friends a few weeks ago, and I haven't been out in over a year...so, it was great and I was so excited, too, so, I know where you are coming from!
It was the lethal day where I had my first ever Chicken Badamas (soemthing along those lines) and I have fallen in love wiht it...which is bad news to my waistline, lol...as it has Peanut Butter in it, so is probably mega calorific, lol!
