A Duck & Hoisin Wrap, Sushi, Pack of crisps, Fruit bar and fresh orange juice. Easily around £10 worth. Yey.


I hope they didn't put baked beans in it.

All food is fine any time of the day. If I like something, I will never not have it just because it's morning, that's silly - you like it, so eat it.

I have long been an advocate of that approach, and it is quite funny that at not too far off 40, I still feel like a big rebel if I eat chocolate for breakfast or something else my mum wouldn't approve of. That said, I can't stomach anything spicy in the mornings, and I find carbs do make me sleepy (which is why I tend to avoid cereal and bread).

I can't handle a vindaloo at any time of day. I can go for a medium Nando's.

I think madras is probably too hot too. I generally go for a butter lamb... not because I can't have anything hotter, just because I have a penchant for creamy curries.

Thats what my daughter has. (which sounds like a 'you pussy' dig, but really isn't intended as that, jus' an observation).

Meh, I don't care. Like I say, I could go a bit hotter, but choose not to because I love a creamy curry. Butter lamb is a lot better than a korma too.

My flatmate and boyfriend can both happily eat curry, chinese or pizza for breakfast. Maybe it's a boy thing.

Creamy curries are too much for me. I do like them, but I prefer something a bit less cloying.

And steak for breakfast is fine, but steak ON a jacket potato? How do you eat that? It would be easier to put the potato on the steak wouldn't it?

it really wasn't a 'curry heat' dig, really wasn't.

It's cut up in very small pieces and its a thin steak, not a rump or anything like that. Next time I have it I'll post a photo.

Sorry :) I do love a good curry, just not for breakfast. I usually go for a medium one like a bhuna or dopiaza.

I can't stand creamy curries. South Indian/Sri Lankan curries are the only ones I'll happily eat. I guess it's from my upbringing though - can rarely stomach curry house offerings.

Dumping a load of cream (oo-er) in to a curry is a British invention. They don't do that in the Asian sub-continent.

Similarly, if you go to China, you won't generally find anything similar to what we see in restaurants here. As I found out to my cost.

Well it isn't cream as such in "creamy" curries, its coconut cream which IS used extensively in Asia.

In my experience of having to ask in restaurants in this country, korma and tikka masala are usually made with actual cream and/or yogurt.

A lot cut corners with cream as it's a little cheaper, but either way they do put way too much of it in - as well as chucking in coarsely chopped peppers and onions to stop them having to actually use as much meat as you pay for.

Apart from a select few places, I will rarely agree to having curry house curry however I'll go if friends are. Keema naans are lush.

I make Korma from scratch and use creamed coconut in a block, or a tin of coconut. It's very nice.

Making me smile at the present moment is just having set up my new TV, a * monster LG 50" Plasma, get in!
