Is anyone free for a curry in London W1, 12 noon Sunday 7th June? Stephanie and her YM and me and my OM will be meeting at a location which will be revealed to those who email me.  SignatureLaura (emulate St. George for email) > Is anyone free for a curry in London W1, 12 noon Sunday 7th June? > Stephanie and her YM and me and my OM will be meeting at a location > which will be revealed to those who email me. Research into chocolate supplies with which to entertain the multitude (should there be one) has already begun. I just mention this in case the promise of elleffescence and a curry is, for some impossible to fathom reason, insufficient attraction. atb, Stephanie in Brussels for now > > Is anyone free for a curry in London W1, 12 noon Sunday 7th June? > > Stephanie and her YM and me and my OM will be meeting at a location [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > the promise of elleffescence and a curry is, for some impossible to > fathom reason, insufficient attraction.

Recently I had dark chocolate with chili. I was all right, nothing to write home about, but not repellant.

People pay a fee to enter their chili recipe, the public pays an admission price to taste the various concoctions, and some sort of prize (usually just a trophy and the glory of winning)is awarded to the entrant with the greatest number of votes. I can't see how anyone casts a vote that is based on taste. After about the third sample, they either all taste alike or the taste buds have been napalmed by the earlier samples. Entrants brag about their "secret ingredient". Chocolate may be one of them, but there are many parts to the whole and I can't see how anyone can distinguish the taste of chocolate in an event like this. If you sample one dish, you may be able to. By the fourth or fifth sample, the secret ingredient could be kerosene and you wouldn't know.

Last weekend I had the amazing experience of tasting a very rich dark chocolate that tasted as if its own secret ingredients were frankincense and ylang-ylang. It was a baffling although absolutely blissful experience. Am thinking seriously about making a gastronomic pilgrimage to the purveyor of the dish in question, as apparently this sort of madness is a regular project of his, and he and his wife manage a little hotel in a nice area of this country. I may be some time.... S. in B. >>> [ ... ] >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >If you sample one dish, you may be able to. By the fourth or fifth >sample, the secret ingredient could be kerosene and you wouldn't know. This is chili the ingredient not chili the dish. Your cook-offs would be chili-the-dish, I'd imagine. My clue is "dark chocolate", which suggests bar chocolate. I've seen these in the shops but haven't tried it yet. http://www.blisstree.com/chocolatebytes/lindt-launches-excellence-chili-bar/ SignatureRichard Bollard Canberra Australia To email, I'm at AMT not spAMT. > > > Is anyone free for a curry in London W1, 12 noon Sunday 7th June? > > > Stephanie and her YM and me and my OM will be meeting at a location [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Chocolate and curry together is a repellant, Not for everyone. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2008/06/24/chocolate-curry- proves-a-hit-91466-21144518/ (Wales) http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4300000/newsid_ 4302200/4302238.stm (Birmingham) http://www.chocablog.com/reviews/stainer-madras-curry-white-chocolate/ http://www.chocablog.com/reviews/dolfin-milk-chocolate-with-hot-masala/ SignatureLinz Wet Yorks via Cambridge, York, London and Watford My accent may vary On May 21, 3:18 pm, Amethyst Deceiver <s...@lindsayendell.co.uk> wrote: > In article <1j01b3b.1uvb4k6f5x...@de-ster.xs4all.nl>, nospam@de- > ster.demon.nl says...
