To what purpose mick?  I feel that this whole episode has become quite simply a parochial thing on many levels, even it didn't start out that way.  There will be little chance of it reaching a conclusion by mutual agreement so it's probably best to just allow the whole episode to die a natural death.

Should the matter then be raised again in the future, there should be someone held to account for it, no matter what level of membership or participation rating they may have. In my opinion, as a member who wasn't here at the time, I just want it gone. Probably both forums should place a ban on the topic altogether.

I find it rather odd that ordering a korma is cause for concern, similar to ordering a shandy or half nip when others order a pint of heavy.  At a mixed grill nobody thinks less of a person for eating chicken instead of steak.

I enjoy the presence of chilli in a dish but that's enough for me.

Trial and error.

Congratulations and well done. Your hooked now. No looking back.

At least a couple of hours, I think is the recommended time.  It softens the dough and allows you to form it out.
