Farmduck Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 She has some very funny vids on YT. One about how the Earth is running out of gravity. Statistically, gingers are 5 times more likely to become radical muslims than normal people. I should rephrase that since obviously, gingers can't become normal people.

C H Calthrop Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 My mate loves very hot curries, he's a bit of a 'hottest thing on the menu please' merchant. But he tried the chef's challenge last night in Akbars (the original Bradford one of course) and couldn't eat it. They even wrapped it up for him to take home and he accidentally 'forgot' it. Can't remember what it was but if he can't eat it, it's bloody hot. A phaal? Basically like gargling with mustard gas. And not some rare concoction they are well known.

C H Calthrop Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yes that's the fella. I bottled out of even trying it. Best way. I have a mate who thinks he's 10 men when it comes to flavoursome foreign food and he never looks happy scrubbing his tongue with a keema naan to dull the pain.

ckn Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 As a kid I used to love reading the Asterix comic books. Now at the grand old age of 45 I finally have clicked that the guy they got their "special potion" from that gave them a magic buzz was Getafix. Get a fix... ffs... how has it taken me the best part of 40 years to get that...

But he tried the chef's challenge last night in Akbars (the original Bradford one of course) and couldn't eat it. They even wrapped it up for him to take home and he accidentally 'forgot' it. Can't remember what it was but if he can't eat it, it's bloody hot. I was working away in Northampton, I think it was. Three of us went out for a curry on the night and on the menu was their "Hottest curry in town" challenge. It was a Lamb Naga if memory serves and I took it on. About twenty minutes later and with tears streaming down my face I eventually was defeated having eaten about half of it. Shortly after giving up, the head chef of the restaurant appeared and came to our table with congratulations that I had managed to eat more of it than anybody had before. That was scant consolation for me in the small room with more tears the following morning. "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."

We were working at the Cemex plant if memory serves, although I can't recall what we were doing exactly. Probably didn't know at the time either.

Properly cooked to between medium-rare and medium, well rested and perfectly seasoned. Newcastle Marriott (Metro Centre one). The resting is the important thing; lets the meat relax and become more tender and allows the flavour to develop more fully. I want a nice steak now.
