Out for an Indian meal tonight. Home cooked, five courses, at the chefs' house, £20. The chefs, husband and wife, are from Gurjarat. All home cooked and never seen in restaurants.

This is the real deal.

I am not doubting the authenticity... but... cannot resist telling this story...

Some 30+ years ago, I was working in Gibraltar, and, was particularly friendly with a work colleague from Pune, India.

At the time, my wife, and two of the daughters (then aged approximately 12 and 14), were visiting, and, my work colleague invited us all to dine at his house.

His wife served up a very tasty buffet of various Indian food, most of which was new to us.

The daughters really pigged out on it, much to my wife's embarrassment, to the point were more had to be brought from the kitchen.

As a way of trying to apologise, without actually apologising, for the daughters gluttony, my wife made much of how nice it was, and, asked for the recipe.

My work colleague's wife disappeared into the kitchen, and, returned with several jars of Pataks Sauces.

Most Indian restaurants aren't indian at all, but Bangladesh.
Also most of the basic sauce for the dishes come from Pataks, they then add the extras to make into what you have ordered.

They even sold pizzas.

Is Grantchester on tonight? I hope so

It was “ Modens “ . Really delicious. It was after eating it that I checked the ingredients and noticed no plums 😮 Further investigation’s revealed that “ Plum “ refers to dried fruit. ( every day is a learning day )

Don’t think little Jack Horner has anything to do with lack of plums Lack of delivery drivers probably.

Oops was that political
