[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Hard Rock cafe is closed

Peche Restaurant too

[pugboy]

Peche changed their business from retail dine in to wholesale bakery supplier since maybe end of last year

I think the fine dining was taking a toll on him and not worth the headache.

Never went to hard rock, I am guessing it was the same ole type of menu and bar as the other places

This guy gets it. Imagine a day when you could walk in Times Square and Central London and see Japs and Royal Castle establishments. What a glorious day that will be. Unlike trinis, countries don't just allow foreign establishments and franchises to set up without putting things in place to protect local products yeah.

Chicken tikka masala is a UK dish invented in the UK. It was an imitation recipe of a Bangladesh type curry recipe to cater for the British population, whose traditional definition of "spice" for thousands of years was salt. It is definitely a British dish and recognized as such, a national dish in the UK.

But it's really not from India. Most curry imitated in western "Indian" restaurants are based on that UK dish. Most Indian curry recipes that you Google will be generally based on that British dish.

Trinidad curry is much closer to Kolkata (Calcutta) and Chennai (Madras) type curry dishes, using Madras spicy hot curry. It is the direct knowledge brought from India during Indentureship and has not changed. I remember my grandmother grinding her own curry on a big grinding stone by hand, all the turmeric and ginger and stuff that she used to grow outside near the wall, knowledge which was passed to her by her own mother. Chief has perfected that Madras-type curry powder mixes for Trinidad.

I totally love real white folk. I love their women in bed cause they do as they are told.

They employed me for years on their oil rigs when job employment in Trinidad was and is fillied with corruption.

This is a black country and we need to support our local bussiness. I will support your business any day and put my money in your employees & ur self pockets

These American establishments is not our culture, they are a drain on our foreign reserves. These ppl laught at us behind our backs and this goes for 1% fake establishments to extort US

so yuh mean all dem ting ah buy in Rassam and Papadums is UK foood?

[maj. tom]

India is a big place with many types of curries. If you watch those "Street Foods India" videos on YouTube you will see that every city has very different foods. Maybe those places you go to are authentic.... But when you buy a curry, you have to specify to the chef what region in India you prefer... if he is skilled in that knowledge. Because a Tamil curry dish is definitely different from an East Punjab curry and way different from a Goa curry.

But foreign food restaurants generally change their recipes to fit the local population. Especially a recipe with a ton of exotic spices that people never tasted before. This usually means the UK version.

Yes what you eat in UK restaurants is not real injun Curry, it's cooked to suit the Brits.

Same as Chinese food in TT, it's not the same as in China. Even the UK Chinese food is different from TT
