Title: greetings from Alabama
Post by: bhamcurry on March 09, 2019, 01:35 PM
Hi all,

been lurking on here for a month or so. I am Stuart, originally from Edinburgh, now living in Birmingham, Alabama. I have been slowly increasing my knowledge of Indian, and British Indian cuisine and truly appreciate how generous everyone is with their knowledge.

My wife also appreciates how much I enjoy cooking tasty curries, and I appreciate my 6 year old son helping out as well :)

Cheers y'all!

Welcome Stuart.

Hope you have fun :)

PS - the only thing I know about Birmingham is that old Randy Newman song of the same name. Is it really 'the greatest city in Alabam''?

hi Sverige, thank you for the welcome  :)

Garp, BirmingHAM is very much like BirmingUM... formerly an iron/steel/coal mining area, went through bad stuff, and is on a distinct upswing (aided and abetted by our craft breweries) but people who don't live here thin it's still like it was decades ago. There's lots of good stuff here, and having helped changed the beer culture for the better I can only hope to improve the curry culture, too  :D

I don't know much about that part of Alabama, except that there's a whole load of thoroughly respectable craft breweries in and around Huntsville. There's even a brewery in Muscle Shoals!

If he' jonesing for some curry there are several Indian restaurants in the Birmingham area. If he wants to know more I will happily send you my email address so he can get in contact  :)
