OK.
When you were in Callander recently, did you dine on vindaloo at the Raj
Tandoori restaurant? I highly recommend it.

I must confess, I seldom dine on Indian food, preferring
a good 'chinkie' in its stead. I have never found Indian food to
be at all appetizing, and the cathartic effect is best left undiscussed.
However, you hit upon a larger point. I find the stench of curry
houses to be a blight on the neighbourhood. If you ask anyone who
has lived wihin 3 doors of a curry house, you will quickly discover
that their lives are invariably made a misery, and their property
rendered almost unsaleable. This is just a fact.
Mind you, no one wants to live above a Fish & Chip Shop either.

PVC might indeed be the better choice what with the cold, wet, sunless

That climate is probably why the mail deliveries are so slow - it's
hard to persuade the postmen to go out on their routes.

Just sell it to a wog. Nae problem.
Given that curry has long since overtaken fish and chips as the most popular
Scottish take away after buckfast, yooz are just going to have to get

That is exactly what happens.
The curry house owner is the only person left who will buy the house.
I have seen it happen. Frankly, it is tantamount to being burned out
of your own home. These places should be free-standing premises.

I was actually looking at some gingham blouses yesterday! They only came in
pink and blue. I got a nostalgic urge to get a red gingham blouse and a
pair of denim pedal-pushers. Pedal-pushers are back in style by another
name, but, no red gingham blouse to be found anywhere.

No he's not. There are 6 chippies to every curry house in Scotland
according to a recent item on (I think) Radio Scotland.
The ratio in my home town is four chippies, two Chinese, and one Indian.
One of the chippies also does Pizzas and Kebabs.

My best curry recipe...
MURG KARI
(CHICKEN CURRY)
INGREDIENTS:
1 fryer chicken, skinned and chopped in bite-sized pieces
3 tbsps salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp garlic, finely chopped (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 1/2 tsp ginger root, finely chopped (or 3/4 tsp ginger powder)
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1 tsp cumin *
1 tsp turmeric *
1 tsp ground coriander *
1 tsp cayenne or chili *
1/4 tsp ground fennel *
1 - 2 cups tomatoes, canned, drained
juice from canned tomatoes
2 tsp fresh coriander, finely chopped **
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp garam masala *** (optional, but good)
METHOD:
1. Pat chicken bits dry with paper towel, sprinkle with 2 tsp salt.
2. In large frying pan heat oil on high until water drop splatters.
3. Fry chicken pieces 3 - 4 mins, turning until white/somewhat firm.
4. Transfer chicken to a plate.
5. Add garlic, ginger, onions to oil in large frying pan.
6. Fry 7 - 8 mins, always stirring until onions soft/golden brown.
7. Turn heat to low.
8. Add cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, cayenne/chili, fennel.
9. Add 1 tbsp tomato juice and stir fry 1 - 2 mins.
10. Stir in tomatoes, 1 tsp fresh coriander, yogurt and 1 tbsp salt.
11. Increase heat to medium, add chicken and any juices in plate.
12. Add remaining tomato juice, bring to a boil.
13. Stir in chicken to coat pieces evenly with sauce.
14. Sprinkle top with garam masala and 1 tbsp fresh coriander.
15. Reduce heat to low, cover.
16. Simmer 20 mins until chicken is tender.
17. Serve chicken on plate w/sauce over, sprinkle with lemon juice.
18. Accompany with pita bread and/or rice.
* For these 5 spices, substitute canned "Madras Curry Powder."
** Also called Cilantro or Chinese Parsley.
*** Buy from East Indian or spice store.
NOTES:
I cook this dish in a wok because of the extra volume a wok offers.
If you can afford it, use Basmati (or Texmati) rice.
A good accompaniment is sliced bananas sprinkled with lemon juice and
coconut shreds, mixed with yoghurt and left to sit for a 1/2 hour.
Another food accompaniment is chopped beets mixed 50/50 with yogurt.
You can also accompany the dish with chutney and/or pickles
If you prefer, use plain rice, or cook Egyptian rice as follows:
(Good with short grain or long grain rice.)
Melt two tablespoons butter in a pan with a lid.
Add two cups washed rice and stir until coated with melted butter.
Add one tsp salt and stir.
Add two cups cold water.
Bring to boil and boil for one minute.
I usually add two tsps tumeric to turn the rice a bright yellow.
Simmer covered for 25 mins on lowest heat.
Let sit a further 10 minutes of heat.
If you accidently knock the lid off the rice at any point, put it on
again. The idea that the rice will be ruined is an old wife's tale.
I've added more water and cooked rice longer, and drained water off to
stop it becoming soggy and abused it in every way I can imagine and it
all comes out on the plate just fine!
Before cooking, always wash rice in a sieve until the water runs clear
and the grains will never stick together.
The Persians leave cooking Basmati rice on the heat until its starts
to crackle, They eat the burned bottom of the rice as a special treat
- it has a sweetish crispy rice cake quality and is a treat locally.
If you like southern Indian tastes, you can add cinnamon stick pieces,
clove powder, mace, nutmeg, etc to the rice.
If you have yoghurt left over, add a cupful to a cupful of cold water
in a blender. Add a little salt and lots of strawberry jam to create
Lassi, a popular drink to accompany curry. Or instead add dried mint
and salt to the water and yoghurt for Arab style Lassi, called Laban!

They don't sell anything though.
The info came from something I read about five years ago which said that
curry was now more popular than fish and chips in 'Britain' which might
possibly have meant '*ngland' so you might be right about Scotland itself.
Do I get the 'mangled sentence of the month' award for the above effort?

place called 'natural spice' in Elgin of all places.
Therein works a Indian with a Lossiemouth accent.
He refused to sell me Beef Madras saying that it wasn't an Indian dish and
that I would have to have Lamb.
Luckily, he was quite a small Indian so it was the work of moments to drag
him bodily over the counter and slap some manners into the insolent little
wog.
His curries are supurb though.

Have you managed to cash in on the Maori oil claims yet?
Waitangi tribunal finds in favour of Maori oil claimants
Maori claiming a stake in royalties from oil and gas reserves in their
areas have today won the first step in their battle, with a favourable
Waitangi Tribunal report. The claimants - Nga Hau o Nga Ruahine of
Taranaki and Ngati Kahungunu of Hawke's Bay and Wairarapa - believed
they should receive a share of the royalties because they said the
crown breached the Treaty of Waitangi when it nationalised oil and gas
resources in 1937.

The 'Treaty Industry' has become a major employer here.
You only need to be about one eighth Maori to qualify for some of the
benefits.
The Somalian and Peruvian Maori claims are stretching it a bit but the
Lapland Maoris simply take the biscuit.
There is a strong emphasis on 'respecting Maori culture' (or something like
that - Maori words and concepts don't translate into english very well) but
the reality is that there are dozens of different cultures here now and they
should all be respected or disrespected equally.
To single out just one of them for 'positive discrimination' is racist in my
view.
There was an invasion and a war.
We won.
You lost.

Not so fast white pig.
First you have to understand something called a 'Spiritual Landscape'.
This landscape can only be seen by someone with at least 12.5% Maori
bloodline (silver blond hair optional)
The landscape is densely populated with mystical creatures and spirits with
unpronouncable names.(no, not bunnaharven)
If one wanted to build a road for example, it will pass through the Maori
spiritual landscape just as surely it passes through the physical landscape.
This will quite definitely upset the mystical creatures near whose homes the
road will pass.
They are everywhere.
There are 50 yard long, tree-trunk thick, invisible water snakes that guard
*every* bend of major rivers and if you go down to the woods you're in for a
*big* surprise.
Therefore one will need to find a person to mediate with said creatures.
Remember that 87.5% of blood cells are rejected by spiritual landscapes
quality control creatures and therefore your choice of mediator is somewhat
limited. In fact you don't really have a choice. The guy who will mediate is
the witch doctor or bare knuckle boxing champion (depending on who is the
more feared) of the tribe whose land the road would cross.
He is a member of the 'Cultural Landscape' (which has to do with vast
extended families and is, of course, off-limits to 87.5% of blood cells) and
he will go and have a chat with all the mystical guardians and then come
back and tell you that the creatures say that if you bung him 3 million
bucks to splash about the cultural landscape it will be ok to build the
road.
This is the point when he will say "Gimmee".
But they say it in english as most Maoris don't speak Maori.
What the 'whites pigs' want to know is how come *we* didn't think up
something like that first?

A small comment: It seems the present Laird of the MacDonalds is
trying to sell the place in Skye - 1 million pounds. There is a nice
web site about Armadale. The MacDonald Centre - they are trying to
keep the place going in any number of ways. So historic Scotland can
disappear because of the costs of keeping up the 'old homestead'
Stansbury is also for sale. Glenallen - this is your area of
expertise - the old places of Scotland.

You're welcome. Depending on what you're making, you can vary the

less or more noticeable and of course spicier or not.

Me too, but I'd drunk too much to remember his name...
They can get pretty scary. A native friend of mine, a physician, was
running an anti-addiction program for natives and when I came round to
see her new clinic, she took me round the corner for coffee because
she didn't want her patients to see her even sitting with someone
smoking and drinking caffeine. "I take a hard line with them," she
said, "and I don't want them to think I go easy on whites..."

Sheila is from Sutherland, where teetotallers are fairly thin on the

I think of it as my contribution towards local employment for
distillery workers. Once you get that idea firmly established in your
head, you begin to realise that not only are you a public benefactor,
but really it's your Christian duty to help distillery workers clothe
and feed their families.
I take this sort of social responsibility very seriously and in the
past have gone to exceptional lengths to ensure that distillery
workers' families need never fear being pushed out of their homes onto
the street as long as I am alive.
My honest, blue eyes are becoming tear-filled at the thought of my
sheer decency. If I'm canonized as a reward for all this virtue, I'd
like to be known as Naomh Murchadh na Strupaig (St. Murdo a' Nipping),
patron saint of distillery workers and nip drinkers and I would like
to be buried in Carbost, just downwind from the Talisker distillery. A
modest cairn to mark the spot, or if public demand is overwhelming,
something along the lines of the Wallace Monument...

I'm adding Naomh Murchadh na Strupaig to the shrine in the northeast corner
of my bedroom. If my prayers will count for anything, you will be canonized
easily.

Murchadh
Thank you. I'm picking out something distinguished looking in robes
and toying with golden beads for the ceremony. As the Pope has just
canonized three saints who were alive in the 20th century, I figure I
won't have to wait more than a month or two and can only hope that the
poor old chap is still with us when the great day comes around. I
don't know whether he comes to my place or I go to Rome. I'll move the
carpet's annual vacuuming forward anyway, just in case.
Do you think I should go for the Roman tonsure hair style or the old
Celtic look, totally shaved from the forehead back to a line between
the ears? Also, I wonder if I should be sculpted drinking from a nip
glass? Sooking on a bottle looks so common, even if it is traditional.
We don't want people thinking I come from North Uist.

Perhaps dust off the tabletops, as well? Be sure to greet him with his own
nip glass. Engraved would be a good idea.

Absolutely the old Celtic look--not sure how close you might be to that

No, no. Must go traditional. Sooking on a bottle is most appropriate.
