green genie Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I'll have to ask my mother where she got her currant idea from. My guess would be the chinese chippy? Chippy curry sauce quite often comes with currants. Quote
Traf Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 My parents lived in Singapore for four years before I was born and my introduction to "curry" was made with chinese curry powder with a sharing garnish dish with compartments for chopped cucumber, fresh tomato, raw onion, cashew nuts, sultanas and pineapple. Very strange. Oh yes, nuts as well. They shouldn't be in there either. Fruit & Nuts? Fine in a chocolate bar or a cereal promoted by "hard-man" Ross Kemp, but not in a curry. (Or other main course dishes either) Quote

Traf Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Ground into a paste is fine. Actual chunks of nuts: no thanks. Quote

I do like a sprinkling on my Thai sesame noodles though (which jsut so happens to be my lunch today). Quote
Bigtoe Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 No Black Pudding? Ribena with a FEB? Good spot Traf. Shocking. Anyway, Quote

They're not in fruit salads, they don't do tomato jellies etc etc. Quote
Pablo Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Just had a conversation with DBP about anchovies. I like them, and he quite clearly doesn't. I don't mind olives either, but he hates them........it all relates back to a bad experience he had with them in Majorca as a child... My bestest pizza would be : Anchovies, Olives, Cappers and peppers. OMG.......!!! Quote

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 22, 2012 Site Supporter Posted March 22, 2012 Back to rhubarb. Poisonous if uncooked. Quote
little whitt Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 If you say OMG one more time....... Anyhow, Rhubarb, I love it! Back to British thats my fav yum yum yum yum Quote
athywhite1958 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Back to rhubarb. Poisonous if uncooked. We used to grow it in the garden when we were kids, pull a piece up, wash it and eat it with little bag of sugar, we never got poisoned Quote
Sweep Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Back to rhubarb. Poisonous if uncooked. It's the leaf that can be poisonous I believe, and I think you would have to eat about 20lb of them to get any ill effects Quote
Sweep Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) with lashings of proper thick custard. Don't you mean "Creme Anglaise" Edited March 22, 2012 by CWP Quote
anewman Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 rainbow crystals, kerli or however its spelt Quote
Sweep Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Ground into a paste is fine. Actual chunks of nuts: no thanks. what about peanut butter.......crunchy or smooth? Crunchy for this boy Quote
Traf Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Neither, but if I had to choose, it'd have to be smooth. Peanut butter is for perverts. FACT Quote

My father used to burn the stuff as it grew like weeds, but every year it was back, double the size again. Love the stuff! Quote
Andydee Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 We used to grow it in the garden when we were kids, pull a piece up, wash it and eat it with little bag of sugar, we never got poisoned We have a rhubarb plant in the front garden - no idea how or why it's there Quote
