March 22, 201214 yr 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.
March 22, 201214 yr 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)

March 22, 201214 yr Ground into a paste is fine. Actual chunks of nuts: no thanks. Are they like tomatoes not being fruit for the purpose of this exercise then? I do like a sprinkling on my Thai sesame noodles though (which jsut so happens to be my lunch today).
March 22, 201214 yr Are they like tomatoes not being fruit for the purpose of this exercise then? I do like a sprinkling on my Thai sesame noodles though (which jsut so happens to be my lunch today). Tomatoes are only a fruit as a technicality. Nobody really sees them as a fruit, do they? They're not in fruit salads, they don't do tomato jellies etc etc.
March 22, 201214 yr 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.......!!!

March 22, 201214 yr Rhubarb is a vegetable. It's a crazy, crazy world. are they really? well i learned something today.
March 22, 201214 yr My bestest pizza would be : Anchovies, Olives, Cappers and peppers. OMG.......!!! If you say OMG one more time....... Anyhow, Rhubarb, I love it! Back to British

March 22, 201214 yr 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
March 22, 201214 yr 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
March 22, 201214 yr with lashings of proper thick custard. Don't you mean "Creme Anglaise" Edited March 22, 201214 yr by CWP
March 22, 201214 yr Ground into a paste is fine. Actual chunks of nuts: no thanks. what about peanut butter.......crunchy or smooth? Crunchy for this boy
March 22, 201214 yr Neither, but if I had to choose, it'd have to be smooth. Peanut butter is for perverts. FACT
March 22, 201214 yr 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 Same here & I'm alive a liveo. 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!
March 23, 201214 yr 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
