Stick the uneaten take-away in the fridge, and next day it's luverly eaten without heating.

Fantastic for breakfast. Nearly as good as a slice of last nights pizza left to go cold under the cusion on the sofa.

It seems to gather some sort of curry momentum during the night.

There is something in that - For years my favourite butty was day old corned beef and brown sauce - Leaving it in a butty box for a day certainly did something:-)

Wouldn't fancy cold curry with rice. Wrapped in a chappatti, though!
Quack!

I love cold curry
but it makes me hurry
and I start to worry
at each delay.
So when I eat cold curry,
And I'm in a flurry
When I start to scurry
Best get out my way.

According to the local news tonight, a quarter of takeaway curries contain illegal levels of potentially harmful chemicals, a study has found.


The survey of 66 takeaways here in West Yorkshire found that 27 per cent of them were using illegally high levels of artificial colour.

Nearly all the samples were coloured with a cocktail of tartrazine (E102), sunset yellow (E110), ponceau 4R (E124), carmoisine (E122) and allura red (E129).

The Food Standards Agency has called for these colours to be phased out of use because of their effects on children.

An earlier study by researchers at the University of Southampton has shown evidence of increased levels of hyperactivity in young children consuming mixtures of some artificial food colours and the preservative sodium benzoate.

The law currently allows curry sauces to contain up to 500mg/kg of artificial colour but one sample was found to contain five times this level.

Well it's a change from what they usually add, in this town alone FIVE were found guilty of serving Seagull,Crow and Rook. One had a nest of five young rats under the main oven ! Mice dropping were found in two potions of served rice.

This is why I prefer restaurants where the kitchen is visible to diners. I waitressed as a young thing in a couple of high end restaurants where the kitchen was not visible to diners, and I can tell you, nasty things sometimes happened to food in those places. I also worked as the main cook in a restaurant in a small town for six months, and it was a constant battle to keep the owner-manager and fill-in cook from endangering the eating public with his disregard for sanitation, refrigeration, and safe cooking methods.

"Seagull, crow and rook"

Usually a higher price is charged for wild game and it's probably better for you than what comes out of those foul, fowl factories.

There is no such bird as a seagull, the other two are corvids, so if you gotta eat crow. It may as well be curried.
Currion Crow?

You can take the curry and hide it away for the future -- cachein' curry.

John, a Seagull is a big white bastard with grey wings and a brown or white head. It can aim with precision and hit a white shirt on a clothes line from 300 metres. Regarding the Crows and Rooks. These are also big bastards that can crap on your living room window from 500 metres and score direct hits on paintwork.

Anyway, they are getting knocked out of the sky with .177 or .22 pellets and served up to drunks on Friday and Saturday nights.

Everyone blames the drink the next morning when the ass is roasted off them and it is coming out of them like pencil lead.

Curry covers the taste of everything. I recall in the seventies the news was always about dogs and cats vanishing into these places well now it's big birds.

A hunter in California fell off a cliff and landed on a ledge about 75 feet down. He was bruised and shaken, but otherwise unhurt. Unfortunately, he knew that he wouldn't be missed for several days and there was no way he could climb up or down to safety. He was trapped.

The next day a California Condor landed on the ledge next to him. He thought, "It's an endangered species but this IS a life-or-death situation." And he killed the big bird so that he could have food.

He was rescued a few days later and charged with killing the Condor. He explained to the judge the predicament he'd been in and why he'd done what he'd done, pleading guilty with extenuating circumstances. The judge, understanding, gave him the minimum sentence the law allowed.

Walking out of the courthouse, his lawyer turned to him and said, "Now that it's all over, tell me, what did that condor taste like?"

The man thought a minute and said, "Well, it was sort of a cross between a right whale and a spotted owl...."

No Jimmy, that is a gull, and a gull is a seabird, but there is no such bird as a seagull.

Greater Black Backed Gull
Lesser Black Backed Gull
Herring Gull
Common Gull
Then there's
Kittiwakes
Sandwich Terns
Arctic Terns
etc etc.
All are predominantly white, all are found by the sea, and all are referred to, wrongly, as seagulls.
Sorry to be pedantic mate, but it's just one of my pet hates ;)

Point taken John. Maybe we could put numbers beside them and fried or boiled rice !

There was a Chinese in Market Deeping that got done some years ago for taking ducks off the river. I didn't really see the problem.

I love cold Chinese and cold curry. But there are a couple of takeaways that have opened in Grantham recently - one Nepalese and one Indian - which vow and swear not to use any arificial colours or flavours, and I have to say, the food from both is really, REALLY lovely.

Then there was the time my Nigerian roommate and his friends burned dinner. They used so much hot pepper in it I thought I'd been tear gassed. I came out of the shower with my eyes streaming; they too were coughing and crying and laughing their heads off.

Took a half hour to ventilate the apartment....

When I visit Malaysia I often have a beef rendang for breakfast, certainly sets you up for the day, even if it has some unsociable effects during a presentation.
