I must admit I've been quite slack in trying lots of bases from this site over the years and have stuck mainly with CT or CA's. I tried this and was quite excited to be trying something different, especially with the positive reviews.

However, .....I just don't like it. I tried it with JB Madras recipe, and tqice to make sure I didn't mess up on the first attempt.

Maybe it's a regional thing? Where is the base from? I know curries in the south, midlands and north can vary quite dramatically in taste.

Sadly true, yes. Should have seen his face while I was tucking into my dupiaza. He kept mouthing obscenities while he struggled with his korma. Good lad, but nearly died from his injuries a few years ago. All because he wouldn't give someone outside a kebab shop a cigarette, kitchen knife 3 times in the back.

I'm pretty sure it closed last month and Wardy moved ops to the Actress and Bishop as said.

We haven't played there for a few years.

Korma, lol. Well, it was our rhythm guitarist who in his defence used to eat much hotter food until he was stabbed a few years ago and got pancreas damage.

Yeah, played the Adam a few times. It's closed now hasn't it?

The lads and I had a short tour last week and sampled a few curries.

We're all 35-40+ and like a good curry and are all from Yorkshire (to give the regional tastebud boffs a medium).

Northampton - can't remember the name of the place, but utter rubbish.

Bradford - Kashmir - downstairs part..nice basic and good stuff. Free poppadoms and dip, 6 people fed and mango lassi-ed for 38 quid...very very good food. Meals tried - madras, achiri, korma, dupiaza, Kashmiri.

Gateshead - Paprika - was worried initially as empty. Food absolutely amazing apart from samosa starter slightly undercooked. Best curry of the tour. Meals tried - dupiaza, Jal Jul Hash, madras, Kashmiri.

Update:
The Scotch Bonnet was a total failure, all flower drops, almost lost the Apache, but it's come back and fruited nicely..also took on a Numex Twilight and a  Demon Red that seem to be unstoppable.

An update.
The first 2-3 flowers all fell off including stalk which had me concerned, but know many of the flowers do indeed appear to have shed leaves and are growing into small chillis.!

Can't wait!

Silly question...

The blossoms that have dropped have dropped stalk and head from the main stem. You can see them in the pic on the tray.
Is this normal or should the chillis take over on the stem where the flower is, replacing it so to speak?
