to think that people don't judge others on their choice of curry?

[MakeMineAKorma]

Was having a conversation with a friend today.

She reckons that people look down on people who choose mild curry as though that is the wimp's choice. (NB my words not hers)

And that liking progressively hotter curries is a rite of passage that you have to go through, almost like a qualification.

I mean, what if you just don't like spicy food?!?

NB I ask this as a curry wimp - I go for the korma every time.

The lovely thing about curries is the fact that they can be s layered in flavour. I love makng my own because you can adjust all the flavours.

Seasicksal you are te the of narrow person I am referring to in my post, shame you cannot acquire manners, and unfairly criticse people who allshrt of yur unrealistic expectations

If you are still reading SeaSick perhaps you can explain what you mean by "backward"?

Oh worra that did make me laugh

Marm yow need to toike moi, definitely.

She had me at "provincial"

Few examples of curry in the Netto house
Curry really isn't about plain spice, it's about flavour.
I could do a selection that tasted great with no chilli at all.

I genuinely thought this thread was a wind up and people were pretending to judge other people by what curry (if any) they choose to shove in their mush

Now I've realised some people are actually serious?!?

Only on Mumsnet...really only on Mumsnet

Only on MN indeed. You learn something (nothing) ever day.

MrMannering, while you are here - any recommendations for someone who doesn't like creamy/coconutty sauces, so hasn't got on with curries so far, but does like spicy food?

I normally choose something from the dry tandori side of the menu, but would love to branch out a bit more.

I'm going to do a curry house crawl at the weekend...armed with a clipboard and a cats bum mouth.

Yes you can ave your opinions on wat curry people eat, but it's te height of rudeness to tell the person, and make tem feel bad. It's none of your business what people eat.

Will you "tut" loudly Worra?

You wouldn't need a clipboard Worra . You could just stand at a large occupied table stating loudly "Chav, Provincial, Good Guy, Bore....."

Oh goodness sorry, silly I pad missing letters out

I've never actually been to a indian restaurant!

Admittedly not on this forum - but I've seen some doozies on how people eat their steak. Well done is close to full on blasphemy and a step away from communism for some people.

Who seriously cares what other people (other than their kids) eat? If someone isn't adventurous about their food then it's their loss surely

Are you all the people who 'try just a little bit' off everyone's plate?

Tutting loudly is passive aggressive Salmotrutta

I was thinking about kicking the shit out of the dullards

Or would that be rude?

Hands up who goes abroad to the Med and seeks out a Sunday roast up?

I bet Gerrof does.

Are you all the people who 'try just a little bit' off everyone's plate?

No, that tends to get me banned from every restaurant in town

They're all like, "Waiter!! Who is this woman??"

Tight bastards

Kicking the shit out of people is a little bit rude worra.

Maybe you could just slap them upside their boring, provincial and backward heads? Hmm?

I judge people who go to Indian restaurants and order an omelette and chips.

Even as a child I would have found Korma a bit, um lightweight. But what ever.

I also judge people who order a vindaloo then sit there sweating and washing it down with gob fulls of larger. These same people then use the hot towel to clean their faces. "Ooh that'll clear me pores."

You can tell I don't always frequent high class restaurants, can't you.

Well there'd be no need to kick the shit out of them if they had a decent curry.

It'd slide out the next morning without touching the sides...

I think it's the done thing to offer them a taste of yours in return Worra.

Wouldn't know myself really - anyone who makes it past my fork defense deserves their prize.

That's right Marm.

Straight down bar street to look for a bar with the Union Jack, sign saying Jim and Denise's English bar, serving Heinz beans and pg tips.

But if you go out with a group of people there may be one that doesn't like curry.
Especially the elderly, why shouldn't they have omelette and chips.
