I used to have traditional Goan Vindaloos at the now sadly gone Viva Goa in Crystal Palace a few years ago - medium hot, sweet and sour'ish made with palm vinegar and a splash of red wine. Absolutely delicious, and quite unlike the ubiquitous British high street curry house uber hot (and largely inedible) version.

that sounds fab Voyageur - what a shame that place isn't there anymore! Agree trad Goan vindaloo is a delight, its a shame that 'vindaloo' has such a negative press as you say, an uber hot (yep, inedible at your average curry house) dish over here. I'd love to see more 'curry houses' concentrating on specific Regional/State specialities and doing them well.


- meant to say earlier (staying on topic), I cannot do without flavoured vinegars and mustards at the moment. Tarragon dijon is a particular favourite and Hot Horseradish and Sweet Basil vinegars are fast becoming staple condiments.

Sweet Basil and Horseradish vinegars sound astonishingly good - do you buy them locally? (actually thinking of that, I could try and make my own!).


Actually although Viva Goa has gone the place is still run by the same guys. It's now called Crystal Palace Tandoori. This thread reminded me of the great Vindaloo they used to do so I will ask for it next time. The place is worth a try if you ever pass, especially as they use free range meat and fresh spices.

I think the curry club should be told but would they venture to CP for a lovely trad vindaloo I wonder ;-)


I know what you mean about making your own vinegars etc, I often think I should do that as it would possibly be cheaper (but its never as good somehow and by the time I have got round to doing it etc haha).


I got mine from a creake abbey food market in Norfolk where the supplier is based, they told me that their flavoured vinegars are grown with a vinegar mother (I hope I have got this right!) and so they are not simply 'infused' with e.g. herbs, or have the flavour added later to an existing vinegar if that makes sense. I think they sell in delis but am not sure. Their website is a bit rubbish tho but at least it shows you all the ranges they have for some ideas and they sell online http://www.scrubbyoakfinefoods.co.uk

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
