It's quite simple - take two different tins of soup, mix together, and stir in a little cream cheese / yogurt etc. Blend if necessary.

Better than being the fitter who has to suck it.

We have just had his bedroom redecorated and he now has laminate flooring.
His Grandad decided to take a bit off the bottom of the old door and being

Buying a 16 year old a bedroom door for a joke Christmas present really

what sort of tinned curry is more than merely edible?

I guess it depends what you are comparing it with?

It's like the white label baked beans. Basically they generally
contain the same haricot beans, all be it not quite so many, a bit
more sauce and a bit less salt and sugar than say Heinz, but then I
guess it's what you are, or get, used to.

So, a Sainsburys tinned Chicken Korma [1] isn't the same as a Curry
House chicken Tikka (our personal favourite) but it's a fraction of
the price and with the (Sainsbury's) vegetable curry, the basmati rice
and some popadoms, makes for a perfectly serviceable 'curry' type meal
(that isn't too hot for my Mrs to eat).

Cheers, T i m

[1] Sainsbuy's chicken korma is basically just great big chunks of
chicken in a korma sauce.

I tested all the baked beans I could find for quality years ago. Heinz was near the bottom. Most of the budget brands were fine.

Ok, and your personal tastes. ;-)

I'm pretty sure most people would be hard pressed to find any fault
with a tin of Sainsbury's Chicken Korma. Big chunks of clean white
chicken in a nice Korma sauce?

When my Dad came ashore from the Merchant Navy he first became a ships
chandler and would often take me down to the docks on a Saturday
morning and we would take some provisions to the small ships there,
often crewed by Indians. So we were regularly offered a meal and that
was inevitably curry (that seemed to be on the go 24/7). ;-)

So, I feel I've had my share of 'authentic' Indian (cooked) curries
and can't remember their chicken Korma tasting much different to the
Sainsbury's tinned offering? (Curry was also eaten regularly at home
as it was one of Dads favourite meals).

And that would seem to conflict with many who feel they are
'tasteless' compared with Heinz?

And my point was that yes, they do taste 'different' and may not be as
'rich' (thinner sauce etc) but in general, are better for us because
of the lower levels of sugar and salt.

Well, why would we have the same opinions on everything?

What I have stated above is both factually correct (where it was fact

Or alternatively:

So we aren't the only people who disagree on that.

On Curry ...

Yes, yer delivered curry of choice might be nicer than a Supermarket
option but at what cost:?

http://www.actiononsalt.org.uk/news/.../2010/curries/

"Takeaways are thought of as a convenient option, however CASH found
large variations in the salt content of the same curries from
different restaurants in London’s famous curry street Brick Lane. CASH
found the lowest takeaway to be a Vegetable Korma (1.37g per portion)
and the highest a Chicken Tikka Masala (6.81g per portion), so a
simple swap could cut your salt intake by up to 4 times in the main
meal alone.

If you do need a quick meal solution, ready meals don’t need to be
totally ruled out. Similar products can vary hugely in their salt
content; for instance the Sainsbury’s Be Good To Yourself Chicken
Korma with Pilau Rice contains only 0.91g salt per portion, nearly 5
times less salt than the frozen Kan Pur Garden Chicken Korma with
Pilau Rice (from Lidl) at 4.50g salt per portion."

So, how big is the picture you are looking at re your curry
preferences?

And why I said "I guess it depends what you are comparing it with?"

YMWSV of course. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

p.s. The Mrs has two sweeteners with her tea / coffee and if I get her
cup by mistake I find it disgusting. Not only is it sickly sweet (and
I have a sweet tooth) but the aftertaste is disgusting. When she tried
to go without sweetners recently, she said that our std brew of tea
tasted like 'hot water' so I wonder what she is actually tasting when
drinking tea? Sweetner?

I had two sugars in my tea / coffee when a youth but gradually cut
down to 1, then half and now none.

That's one way of leaning to cut something out. ;-)

We do something similar by not normally having any sweets, chocolate,

I'm quite good if they're in the cupboard and I can't see them.

If they're open, I will finish the packet.

So far the only Christmas sweeties I have eaten are two boxes of mince pies.

The drawback to this system is when I forget there's something in the cupboard and find the maderia cake after three months.

The trick is to put every newly-opened packet of biscuits into one
of those plastic containesr with a tight lid, then put in a cupboard.

That avoids the temptation of grabbing one every time you pass through
the kitchen to the shed or wherever.

Bahlsen chocolate biscuits are a particular problem.

No, It had been off the ration for over 10 years, but maybe habits die

biscuits or crisps in the house or we will eat them.

I'm quite good if they're in the cupboard and I can't see them.

If they're visible, I will open them.

If they're open, I will finish the packet.

So far the only Christmas sweeties I have eaten are two boxes of mince
pies.

The drawback to this system is when I forget there's something in the
cupboard and find the maderia cake after three months.

I'd regard not eating that as a good thing. Sugar is so destructive to
health.

Hasn‘t destroyed my health and I do eat quite
a bit of it, mostly in the breakfast marmalade.

I don‘t drink softdrink or tea/coffee anymore.


just alcoholic ones?

Nope, I also drink tap water, and don't bother to keep it in the fridge.

And the beer and spirits don't have any unfermented sugar in them.

That's why I live on a healthy diet of tobacco and alcohol, boosted with
the natural additives that are available from high fat and high salt
content foods.

It's all the artificial preservatives I eat that keep me looking so young.
