How old were you when you had your first curry (Indian)

can remember eating them as a bairn like when I was 4-5? I think my mum has always cooked em, think would have been a takeaway round about 10 from that place in Rhyope with the strange shaped windows.
 
Probably from the chippy or the Mandarin House (curry sauce that is) in Pennywell in early teens (early 80's). Might have had a mouthful of Vesta earlier than that.
 
Bloody hell really?

Yeh. And it was only six years ago I had my first fish & chips. And only had that once since, too. Pizzas however... :oops:

Really?
I'm sure there's a few in Copenhagen like, we had one the last time we were over.

I live as far from our capital as you can almost get here. The area I live in is the most Western part of the country, Copenhagen is in the East. No curry houses here, I'm afraid.

what is a traditional Danish dish mate, I know nowt about Danish food.

The Nordic kitchen involves loads of root vegs and hearty food. My favourite dish is Forloren Hare (a form of meatloaf wrapped in smokey bacon) with new spuds and crater gravy. Karbonader is also a favourite of mine as is Grønkålsuppe (a thickish soup with loads of kale made from good stock from pigs feet and head). It's got carrot and potato pieces in as well as small boiled, pork meat balls. Though that is more of a Winter meal. We also eat a lot of fish here, most people probably eat fish twice a week. At least in this part of the country with the North Sea being so very close by.

If we're talking fast food it'll be our pølsevogne. A red banger or two with remoulade downed with a cold milk chocolate is always good.

Are they the things that are sold in little kiosks all over the capital?
Very nice for a snack, and that remoulade is lovely.
 
sounds good mate, might have a look into cooking some Danish food.

Yeh, they are like caravan hotdog stands.

Everytime I'm in the NE for longer periods of time I always make sure I put a box together before I go there. In the box I always put things I know I'm going to miss while away that I can't seem to find in the NE, like a couple of 'bottles' of our remoulade. Then when I've been away for a bit I get mam to post me the box and the day it reaches me is a good day indeed. :oops:

Would you like me to bring you a 'bottle' when I'm back next ?

Norma, a Copenhagen eating place was last year named 'the best restaurant in the world 2010' ahead of el Bulli in Spain and your Heston's Fat Duck. They serve traditionally Nordic dishes with a modern twist. In the restaurant things like olive oil and garlic are banned as they are not native of DK. Everything served up in there are local produce.

Then this January the World Championship in cooking, the Bocuse d’Or, was held in France. The chefs were to make a meat dish and a fish dish. The winner was a Danish chef. The runner up Swedish and third place went to a chef from Norway.

It's nice, hearty food but I still don't quite understand why the Nordic cuisine is this fashionable at the moment. It's not fancy food or anything and it's not too difficult to make either.
