pozbaird Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thought to myself, ah, Question of Sport is on tonight. A bit of light hearted fluff in these troubled times. I forgot that Phil Tufnell does my tits in. Specifically, the round they play where Sue says ‘these three sports stars all share their name with....’ Every fcuking time, Tufnell just repeats what a team-mate sitting next to him has said, all he does is shout the same answer louder, even though it was already wrong. Fcuking gobshite. Bring back Coisty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so but I remember his team had one question to win the series - they had to identify a rugby player and they got it right. The look on Bill Beaumont's face was something to behold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Spent ages making a curry today and it tasted shite [emoji3525]Find this a lot, particularly Indian curries.

It wasn’t shite but it was pretty meh after a lot of effort. How old are your spices? Loads of folk myself included are guilty of having these for years on end. By all accounts it makes a huge difference. Also, and you probably know this already, whole spices, toasted in a dry pan then ground yourself are the way forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes it hard unless you.cook enough curries to rattle through them. We are under the mistaken impression in this country that these things have an unlimited shelf life. Next time buy all new ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Also, taking your time over frying the onions makes a big difference. Sprinkling some salt over them helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Find this a lot, particularly Indian curries. Attempted a pathia a few weeks ago. It wasn’t shite but it was pretty meh after a lot of effort. For a pathia, i mix pineapple juice and mint for the weird sweet and sour taste it has. Always annoyed that's the one type never found in jar or at some Indians here. Love a pathia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I had a recipe for seekh kebabs that I've used a few times, but yesterday I made the mixture up as normal and shaped them up into meatballs instead, and once they were done in the oven I heated them through with a nice jalfrezi sauce. Lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really miss it.I can't eat curry in unfortunately but i make a veggie one for the missus which she fucking loves (quite often she's meh about my cooking which i think is harsh but she fucking loves the curry).I use the pastes and add whatever i can from the cupboard to personalise it. Seems to work a treat, and i saw Jamie Oliver bigging up the pastes as a really good product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s rarely deaf, old duffersAye, it's a pretty loud bell which sounds in both wings of the house* (I can hear it quite clearly while in the shower) and you can hear the noise of every vehicle that comes up the drive*. All three of us were at home and on the lookout for it as, let's be honest, it's the only excitement we get these days. The fuckers just didn't bother trying to deliver it. *living the Oaksoftian dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
