Lets Talk Curry / Keith Floyd

« on: May 07, 2005, 04:53 PM »

Also has anyone also noticed Keith Floyd never does rice or breads?

He never even apologizes for the fact this food is missing
from his show,?do you think he simply does not like doing it
or don't they cook rice and bake bread in India ?

I always enjoyed his television shows but this one?
about cooking around India is more than a little
repetitive. I recorded the whole lot a few month ago
and noticed a pattern of some of this, and a little bit of that etc
going on.

I have never seen him make the garlic and ginger paste,
rice, breads, starters, deserts and side dishes (relish etc)
this would have made the show better by far.

If I am wrong sorry have I missed it, did i blink.

Please don't flame me!

It's simply something I have noticed, after all it is a cookery program
and would like to ask what others think.

I still like Keith Floyd for showing us diffrent kitchens etc
just, why is the above missing from the show.

If I am wrong please delete this post asap,
and sorry for me making a complete fool of myself.

cheers, Graeme.

(just seen the positive post on floyd below, sorry. I'm in for it now)

Lets Talk Curry / Well known brand...what went wrong?

« on: March 06, 2005, 11:59 PM »

I used the vindaloo cook in sauce
(add a tin of water) and i would give
them 9/10 back a couple of years.

I did not notice any brand change or product upgrade!
You know, new flavour...extra big tin etc...

however they soon started to smell of thickening
agents (like a flour smell) and just un-well in the pot.

I won't use them now.

PUZZLE!!!
I found a jar of vindaloo paste from around
8 years ago, it was made down under and imported.

Thought they were British! any one go any info
about the imported stuff around this time?

Lets Talk Curry / Red Lobster...

« on: February 26, 2005, 09:53 PM »

I just wished i had took a pictures, not included in the story was the 4 day
"red lobster facial" with the added "skin peeling off effect"

I think dillion's paint stripper would have been a better name for it.
Indeed the horror on peoples faces as I walked up to them in my daily work
was enough to remind me i was now transformed into a stinking red lobster,
the smell was so bad it was not polite to ask any questions!

Believe me it this stuff really gets under your skin, and removes it!

Lets Talk Curry / I dont blend very well!!

« on: February 26, 2005, 07:45 PM »

I have come to the conclusion some of the people on this site
are better cooks than they think they are, honest.

If we were to combine our efforts like a take away,
we would be as good for sure.

Now none cream dishes...mad arse, etc..

I dont blend the onions.
Chop them thin and fry for 20- 30 mins, add
garlic and ginger fry 5-10 mins, add tom's (and spices
if any) i add pepper and salt, fry again for about 10 mins
then add water to cover, and the same again, and a bit more:-)
Simmer for an hour or so.

I have see the base in kitchens, it does not look blended to me.
Some onion is still seen, but well broken down under the red oil.

When i blend it all goes wrong, my base changes colour and flavour

(great for pasanda etc i guess that type of base but i am talking
about madras etc diffrent creature)

The final cooking in the pan seems to breaks down the base further
but leaves a little texture:-)

Has anyone had any luck with blending for mad arse etc...I sure dont,

I get better results with out blending.

Lets Talk Curry / aroma and psychology

« on: February 24, 2005, 10:49 PM »

I am asking the simple question, how many time have you slaved over a meal
then went and bought one?

I was told 90% of enjoying a meal is the aroma,
A good exsample would be fish and chips,
often smell better than the taste or quality.

After cooking a vindaloo for hours the last thing
I want to do is eat it!

what do you think?
