Is it Indian, Thai, Malay, Japanese, Chinese, Caribbean....?

Is it wet or dry?

Is it fiery or mild?

Tomato or coconut milk based?

Is it none of the above?

I am completely baffled by the use of the word and the broadcast dislike of 'curry' without identifying what it is that you don't like.

Hey Eccles, I don't like about them.
Sorry, should be, what I don't like about them.

Tony, is there a word or two missing there? I'm not having a dig at you with this thread I am honestly intrigued.

I have a friend who will not step foot in an Indian restaurant but will eat Thai, Korean and Mexican food which share a lot of ingredients with India. I honestly don't understand how the food of such a vast country can be written off.
Eccles, if and when I do go to an Indian restaurant ( my wife likes a curry ) then I have something English.
To me a curry is just a spicy stew, love them all as long as they're not too hot, especially a nice Thai Green one.

My dad won't eat a curry, reckons he doesn't like them though he as barely tried many, what he will eat though is that poor excuse of a curry you get from the chinese (I do on occasion have one myself, usually after a bottle of wine).
I can't eat anything too hot. I have a healthy respect for my bum.
I do like Chinese Curry though, especially if its got prawns in.
How did your Hols Go Eccles?
I love all sorts of curries as long as they are not too hot. Thai green or red curries are my favourite. An ex-colleague used to bring in Caribbean mutton curry with rice & peas and dumplings and although a bit too hot it was delish. I think she used scotch bonnets!

In the UK you can buy curries at a chinese restaurant but curries aren't chinese dishes! You wouldn't find a curry dish in China unless you walked into an Indian restaurant! I suppose it's a bit like tonyav saying when he goes to an indian restaurant he eats English (what's that by the way?) India is curry country but there are so many; mild, medium, hot, fruity, spicy, etc The creole countries also do lots of lovely curry dishes with coconut, ginger etc
Enjoy making my own. Have a couple of Indian recipe books but I like to experiment.
@EDDIE51.....there's also a length of 2 x 1 in the loo with teeth marks on !!!
i consider that curry comes from asia, India, Bangladesh, that can't eat it, can't stand the smell and am allergic to any number of the spices that go in it, not to mention cannot eat chilli's, makes me come out in a rash. My West Indian friends used to have curried goat which i tried and determined never to eat ever again.
Hi Eccles, curry is a spice with lots of variants of flavours know to be tingling hot ! As with other herbs / spices tweak for personal taste. Instead of calling our food " curried whatever " we just call it curry !
