That one is simple to make and has banana in it. I watched it on a British cooking show once. This Asian girl who is highly annoying but a very decent cook had a show and she showed how to make this curry once.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15061935263412550072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-23592828637432526932007-11-14T21:47:00.000+00:002007-11-14T21:47:00.000+00:00Ruth: I was going to ask them but well as I posted...<STRONG>Ruth:</STRONG> I was going to ask them but well as I posted they tend to be VERY evasive when they think they'll get less takeaway money as a result of answering such a question...<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Ropi:</STRONG> I think it was Dr Johnson who said "when a man is tired of London he is tired of life" and that was when the streets were piled high with horse manure dripping with human diarrhoea!Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-12960904319055277062007-11-14T21:45:00.000+00:002007-11-14T21:45:00.000+00:00Eileen: Out of town but not too far attractions wo...<STRONG>Eileen:</STRONG> Out of town but not too far attractions would be Windsor esp the castle... also Oxford/Cambridge (Cambridge is far more picturesque)... and in London... The London Aquarium is a massive urban sealife centre... The London Eye has to be done. Take a river trip down the Thames... Go to the opera/ballet. The English National Opera is far cheaper (and sung in English) whereas the Royal Opera is very posh and grand but in original language... O yeah the British Museum (mostly archaology/ancient cultures, like the Louvre) is always worth a look as is the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert which is like the British Museum but more recent artifacts... The Science Museum is good but more for people with kids. The best art Gallery is the Tate Britain in my opinion bc it's 1800s, 1900s; Tate Modern is 20th/21st century; the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square is Canalletto/Raphael etc etc also there is a National Portrait Gallery which includes photographs just round the corner... Go on the DLR Docklands Light Railway from Bank (where it starts) into Docklands. Wait and get a seat right at the front bc there is no driver you get a fantastic view.... hang on I can't think of anything else... O yeah the best walk would be from Green Park Tube you can walk across to Buckingham Palace then down the Mall which you might have seen when Princess Diana got married etc towards Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, St James's Park is round the corner also you can walk up Whitehall to Trafalgar Square from there then you're at Charing Cross Station/Charing Cross tube you can get trains to the South Coast from there but if you're travelling South Coast from London you really need to check in advance which station you need to travel FROM as it's VERY confusing esp travelling south from London; bear in mind there are about 5 major rail stations oh blah blah also I think I posted that walk yesterday sorry I hope this has been of some use!Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-11665354828123130332007-11-14T15:47:00.000+00:002007-11-14T15:47:00.000+00:00I heard that you need more than 100 years to see e...I heard that you need more than 100 years to see everything in London.Ropihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214991557644729165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-12384185014988169152007-11-14T15:11:00.000+00:002007-11-14T15:11:00.000+00:00I haven't been to London for years.

Full of lovely MSG as well... There IS a Chinese stall at the local market so I will ask and have a good look.

But I do often add Chinese Five Spice Powder to a lot of the Chinese stir-fries that I make. There is a very good blog that I read from a lady in the United States who is a trained chef I believe and she focuses on Asian food a lot. She always writes about very interesting things regarding food and cooking and has posted some great recipes too:<BR/><BR/>www.tigersandstrawberries.com<BR/><BR/>If you scroll down a bit you'll find the most delicious looking mushroom curry.
