*Bob* the problem is the flavour of the horrible oil completely obliterates the flavour of the other ingreds.

Agree with *bob* about the Ganapati menu, I've had everything on it that I'll eat (I don't do fish) at least once, and would like to see some additions. I love their flat bread, the name of which I can't remember.

And yet people still love a plate of 3 day old reheat on LL.

Mine was public atatement to say i'll never eat that shit injected LL slop again, about why is it that fresh home cooked curry tastes better and asking for some DIY recipes btw

[Phlox]

Look up Meera Sodha's recipes.

[Earl Aelfheah]

it is weird that with all the competition along the lane, the general quality is fairly mediocre. You would expect it to drive up standards.

[Earl Aelfheah]

btw - anyone got a recommendation for best take away curry nearby.

Ah, the sands of time are catching up with me. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it was Bells before it became George's. I remember when Elvis opened his shop in North Cross Road as I was living in Lacon Road at the time. Nice fella. Shame it all went tits up for him.

[teddyboy23]
