What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Moderator: Zulus Thousand of em
I likes a curry, I does
But Spice Valley isn't a Curry House, though, is it?
It serves food of the sub continent
Sometimes I just like a curry, others the 'experience'
Dependent on mood, I'd recommend SV, Ashoka and The Pavilion (not had a bad feed at any of 'em)
Speaking of good feeds, is there only me loves La Tama in Ainsworth?

Not tried - but it comes recommended by a friend who doesn't know the Valley one (which is only a little schlep from ours - so doubt I'll ever try the horwich one).Bruce Rioja wrote:Very true.CAPSLOCK wrote:I know
I think its location is what makes it such a surprise
You'd just expect a Nandos type place
By the way, the one in Horwich - is it to the same standard? Do we know?
What was it before it was spice valley - wasn't it some chain-type place?
Tried Ashoka in Harwood - anniversary meal in March - and was fine food... but not as good... Is this the one you mean?
Is The Pavilion the one on blackburn rd opposite Asda - tried that years ago to get a pretty vile hot n greasy experience... Not been back since...

Lovely sunny day, cooking for my big sis's birthday. Steak and chips with a nice crisp salad, dusted off a bottle of 2001 Chateau MacCarthy Saint-Estephe. Very nice, though still a bit young (which is a nice surprise, as theres still a couple of bottles left). And then of course A big block of Roquefort with some fig chutney and a 2005 "Brumaire" Pacherenc du Vic Bilh. Glorious.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Bought a slow cooker about 6 months ago for £15 in the Sainsbury's sale, and I must say I'm blown away. It's amazing.
I'm no cook, never have been, but this thing makes me feel like one.
Beef stew? No problem.
Sausage casserole? On its way!
Fish chowder? Coming right up!
Butter chicken? Hand me my garam masala!
And the best thing is popping it on in the morning, and coming home from work.
Through the door. "Ooooh- that smells nice. Who's cooking? Ahhh - that'd be me."
Sorted.

Only ever had that once. Unfortunately it happened to be the very day I found out I was violently allergic to Triogesic tablets, and as such the very smell of Chicken Chasseur, by association, makes me feel sick to the stomachBruce Rioja wrote:Chicken chasseur - falls off the bone.

In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Can't wait.

I think I'll go for the tried and tested today - watch the England match, get 'em pi$$ed, they won't notice.
Enjoy Grenache - have you got a Season Ticket off Huss yet?
