    As I understand it, never having been to the Asian continent, I would have difficulty finding anything resembling what we get in our takeaways.

    It does frustrate me a bit that people think Chinese food is mostly the food that you get from take aways here when its not really like that over there. Some stuff is similar but its mostly from Hong Kong or adapted for Brits, not the mainland. I equally know that Im fortunate to have lived and worked there so don't expect everyone else to have the same knowledge about Chinese cuisine.

    You almost managed it. But in the end couldn't resist. Consistent I'll give you that.

    So, it's fine for you to have a dig at me but I can't have a dig back? Good to know, thanks.

    Edit: the more I read your reply, the more I have to laugh.

    I was purely commenting on your post though and what you'd said. Nothing more. Your retort didn't appear to be anything to do with that, as there's no way I could be on a higher pedestal to you considering I was sticking up for the 'minions' at the bottom? Even explaining that that's how your post came across, which was an open goal opportunity for you to say 'no not at all. I meant it like this'.

    Someone else answered on your behalf though so we're all good :)

    The best local one (but there are literally dozens) is called Tandoori Nights. Do an amazing series of Thalis, but sadly something disagrees with my wife, think it must be a type of oil they use because she gets seriously unwell from it.

    Further afield in London I can certainly recommend Cinnamon Kitchen nr Liverpool St station and its old but still seriously good (but expensive) Cinnamon Club.

    And Bristol has some really good places. 4,500 miles from Delhi, Indian Rassasy (out at Hotwells)... well I recall it being very good but we'd had a day doing some beer tour which really was just a beer crawl in disguise and took in about 6 breweries, 2 bars and some bottles on the boat! But I still think i enjoyed the food! And the other is up in Clifton called Nutmeg.

    I'm going to shush though because I'll just get fed up that we're unlikely to be able to go any time soon.

    Oh just on a side note.... we did actually manage to get a beer last Sunday when we went for a walk from Waterloo to London Bridge via E&C. Mercato of all places!

    We wandered by and it didn't look busy so we popped in. Very distanced, hardly anyone in.... so having a cheeky 1 ended up becoming 4! Only slight downside was a table about 10 metres away finding it most amusing and having to stare and point as we wiped the glasses before drinking.

    Even still, we had a good time... though it was a bit of a shock at £11.90 for a round of two... it's definitely been a while!

    So if I open a restaurant serving this cuisine, is it Nyonya Business?

    I only attempted to throw a little humour in here to curry favour with other BBS posters.

    Don't think I really should have to spend my time telling one person what I meant when everyone else seems to have got it. That's a you problem, not a me problem.

    You carry on leaping to the defence of the minions at the bottom though, whatever that means?

    Love this - other than the obvious idiots. Did you go for an Italian or UK beer choice? They used to have the Italian Craft Bar within that setup.

    Those are probably the best spots early doors for you to get somewhere you feel comfortable. Glad you landed on something.

    I don't care what anyone else thinks, I liked David Currie. His best game for me was the FA Cup tie at Stoke, he was brilliant.

    I worked in London for a couple of months back in 2015. I treated myself to this place a couple of times, as the company Per Diem wouldn't even cover a starter.

    Surely in an exchange, if your words have been taken the wrong way, you just correct them? Especially when basically invited to. Isn't that how conversations go? 'Everyone else' isn't many people in reality by the way

    I love the undercurrent tone of friendliness and warmth from the offset.

    I once saw Tony Currie play. He was not as hot as some blunts would have you believe.
    Played more like John Currie with his skates on the wrong feet.

    Never heard of him. I'm assuming you mean David Asian Cuisine?

    When in Goa, you could buy a range of authentic Indian dishes, from Vindaloo (the local delicacy) down through Korma, Aloo Saag and a fair few others that you would recognize from a normal "Indian takeaway" menu. The hottest I ate was described as a "Medium Afghani curry" - the waiter had to turn every fan in the restaurant onto my direction to stop me melting on the spot. Very tasty though :)

    As others have said, India (and Pakistan/Bangaldesh/Sri Lanka) are big countries, and you get regional variations - just like in China - but the foods are "Westernised" for sale here.

    And when the first restaurants were opened, Bangladesh was probably still part of India (1947) or more likely East Pakistan (1971)

    As I said previously, not in a great mood.

    I also can't be arsed to explain myself, I also don't think I should have to.

    Said what I said, I'm happy with that, if you're not... *shrug.
