I have to fly down Monday arvo to give a talk on Tuesday morning. I’ll be staying at the Realm. If anybody wants to grab a curry or something on Monday evening, let me know.
I just scanned the headline for this piece and it read in my head to the tune "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Apologies -any resemblance of JB to "the Devil" or Canberra as Georgia is purely coincidental.
Ah hot curries - some years back myself and mates were in Canberra for a games tournament (nerdfest!), and we went to dinner at an indian restaurant whose names evades me. Two of our number decided on a Hot Curry Challenge and ordered the hottest, non Aussie curry they could provide. Of the pair, one chap bowed out sweating like a squeezed sponge and blazing red - the other chap who had a cast iron constitution, leaned over and said 'oh, aren't you finishing that?' and then scraped the remaining food onto his own plate to finish. No, I didn't sample it!
If you’re ever in St. Louis let me know, I’ll take you out for a real meal and get you a ride in a police helicopter and than we can go out and fire some weapons at the farm..
mmm curry. Assuming indian? I've been branching out on dishes everytime we go to indian and found some nice dishes outside the usual. I had a paneer tikka masala the other week and was surprised by how nice the smoked cottage cheese was in a nice curry sauce wrapped in some naan. They asked if i wanted hot, which is always yes, but it was white person hot. Yet to find a place that can produce a nice spicy dish when you say you want it hot. I probably wouldnt be able to handle the actual spicy one anyway so i should be careful what i wish for lol.
Dal makhani has also hit the top of the list for me - love that dish. Hard to convince the kids to branch away from butter chicken though. My family look at me weird when ever i go for something unknown - like i'm an unpredictable firecracker about to go off. I've had more good surprises than bad. Had a salt and pepper tofu from the local chinese place once that was in the bad category - not horrible, just that it was too much to eat by myself because no-one wanted to share. Just realised the three dishes i mentioned were vegetarian, which i'm not, i just dont hold any prejudices on vegetarian food. All are equally valid when on the menu.
