I didn't have my first takeaway curry until the late 70's, but, riding the wave of early enthusiasm for them, I decided to try a REAL curry in an Indian restaurant whilst on a day trip to Llandudno. Fans of that resort will know Mostyn Street, and I found one down there and went in to find that I was the only customer. I ordered up, and then waited forever for the meal to arrive.
When It did, it was swimming in more oil than they've got in Saudi Arabia
, but, to be fair it did taste nice.
I wasn't exactly 'ill' afterwards, but my stomach didn't feel quite right for about 3 days afterwards.
I think they 'saw me coming'.
