6pm - Nap
7.30pm - Got up and started preparing a chickpea, tomato and spinach curry.
8.15pm - Ate my curry
9pm - Settling down to watch that Sunderland Netflix embarrassment with a nice glass of water.
I'm starting to think that everything which is cooked like a stew, or a soup, and involves a bit of spice not grown behind a Scottish shed, you call that a curry by proxy?
I've had these doubts for many years now. Starting with what y'all deem a pie.
Especially since I saw that photo put up here by someone, of a person eating a pie with a spoon while the pie looked like a very bad lasagne.
You really are a strange people, culinarily.

Simply becuase there are spices and fluid involved?
Eh, maybe I'm the not the most enlightened one but a curry is now the word for everything not fish and chip over there?
I really am not mocking. I am wondering whether after all these years I got it wrong. All these times EIM or someone else said they had a curry, I presumed food from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Not some geezer cooking Irish stew.Last edited by Pietro Paolo Virdis; 10-01-2019, 06:31.

Oh, now I get it.
Holy crap, now I get it.
You mean in the sense of what curry is, translated?
That curry means a mix and that's how you've over there (England) started to use it after all the Bengali and the like influenced?
Ten years on and then some more on here I've always thought EIM ate Indian food like he was born in the Ganges every time he mentioned curry. I thought EIM was obsessed and possessed with Indian food.
Thousand times the rest of you have mentioned curry; I thought Indian food
My bad. now I know what you mean.
Seriously, every time you said curry I thought you meant exactly an Indian curry dish.Last edited by Pietro Paolo Virdis; 10-01-2019, 06:49.

Why can't a "chickpea, tomato, and spinach curry" as EIM mentioned be a curry in the way you understand it. I'm 95%sure he'll have meant a dish using South Asian spice blend such as you might find in an Indian restaurant.
We do use curry to mean certain dishes that come from (or are strongly influenced by) certain Asian countries (South Asia but also Thai, Malaysian even Japanese )
Gulyás /Goulash is not a curry and nobody would refer to it as such
