They've Named A Restaurant After Me!

Seems like my fame is spreading. A quick search on Google reveals a restaurant named after me in Bristol! Fame at last.

The Icelandic Thaw

Ruby took a little trip to Iceland last week to blow the legendary cool of those icy Icelanders. Guess what I had to eat while I was there? The culinary variety I mean? Yes, you guessed - curry!

Iceland has only 2 curry restaurants in the ENTIRE country - both of them in Reykjavik. We visited the larger of the two and found the food and the service to be absolutely excellent. But the price! Over £150 for two courses for 2 people! !!!! Plus just a glass or two of lager of course, no Indian meal is complete without a beer or two to help along that essential satisfying belch on completion.

The place was packed with serious money trendies and it had a very "nicely authentic" decor.

Looks like the icy Icelanders are developing a taste for spicy food. Lots of Pataks and other internationally bland jars of gook evident on the supermarket shelves - always a sign of either a developing or dying market.

Still it was an adventure - whale curry is quite a challenge.

London Mela-Big Day Out

Been a little while since my last post, largely due to a business trip to the Far East (South Korea) and a lot of exploration of a new cuisine which is almost as much fun as Indian food except that I've no idea what I was eating.

This week there are big preparations for my Big Day Out on Sunday 14 August - otherwise known as the London Mela. If you have never been - go on Sunday! Its a brilliant day out with all sorts of guys and gals having fun in the sun.

I'll be there on the stand of the Food Court sponsors -no names/no advertising. See if you can guess which hot babe is me.
