To borrow from Boy George, I guess this means you enjoy a korma, korma, korma, korma, korma meal, Ian.

I do like going to restaurants that make genuinely great stuff, but I never the same kicks out of it that I get out of a simple chunk of bloody meat and a bottle of bloody good red wine.
But now I've gone lower than before. I've started eating fast-food. Here are my excuses: I tend to work quite late and I try to get university studies done at the same time. Also I tend to go for long runs in the evenings. All this leaves me with very little time for anything else, so I don't want to spend hours cooking.
Therefore I've been very happy that we have a fine fast food joint here: Namaskaar. They make Indian food and pretty damn good food at that! Especially when I go in the evening, the food has been simmering for most of the day and is well marinated, fairly spicy - and it tastes Indian!
There. I feel much better having confessed my sins.

Oh, you're just trying to curry favor with him.

Geez, even here in the redneck south, we've got one really good Indian restaurant that does buffet for lunch, and another that is decent (closer to campus).

Napa apparently has a law that all restaurants must be Cal-Ital. No room for fast food other than Big Chains (Mickey Dee, Jack in the Crack...).

It seems that some genius Indian immigrant figured out a way to allow his customers to get it quick and hot all at a reasonable price. It looked like a fascinating set-up on TV. Again, I will allow Ian or some other UK forumite to confirm or deny this "fact". I am just reporting what I saw and heard reported. AOf course if it was on TV, it had to be true, right? It was probably CNN or Fox.

But that said, when I lived there, Indian (and Fish & Chips) was to the U.K. what pizza and Chinese are to America. It was what you brought home when you didn't feel like cooking.

I guess the issue of "take-out" versus "fast food" was not something I considered. I wish I had paid more attention to the show. I think it was the Food Channel and I think they described it as a fast food place. If I see the show again (entirely likely on cable) I will try to get more info and Ian can let us know if it's a pack of lies.
