How
to make a bad Curry
Bad
meaning bad in this case. Not bad as
in great - the street jargon.
Hotels,
restaurants and canteens all over the country will attempt
to serve some dishes of West Indian origin occasionally,
even if that means sticking raisins in a curry dish, and
calling it Caribbean. I have never met a Caribbean
who puts raisins in a savoury dish. This was
my memory of curry for school dinners.
Many of these places get it completely wrong.
I tasted the worst curry in my life last week.
I wouldn't even tell you where. Somewhere in
North London. Needless to say the cook was neither
Caribbean, or Indian, and obviously had followed no
particular recipe. Any cook of any nationality can
cook with a decent recipe, assuming they can read, and have
some common sense. In this case it seemed
that the chef had prepared this curry without
a care, since he was not the one who was going to be eating
it. Anyone who inflicts such misery on
others, should be made to sit down, and not get up until
they've eaten a large plate of that curry, on its own.
It
is not hard to murder a curry. I'm sure
you could think of ways to make a bad curry.
