Hmm, you Europeans sure name your food strangely.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)  What exactly is this chicken dish you speak of?  Can you please send me a sample?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)  In return I'll send you some Turkey with cranberry sauce from tommorow nights dinner.

It isn't European food at all - it's Indian (although it has been Anglisized I should think). 'Jalfrezi' means 'Dry Fry' and is basically your standard curry sauce with tomatoes, red peppers (although I prefer both to be in there) and chopped chilis. There's always a large dose of coriander as well. Here's a picture:

Curry rocks!

Turkey and cranberry? Nice. We only have Christmas for that kind of thing - I think we should get more holidays like that. We work too hard in this country - all the other Europeans work much less hours and still have the same standard of living.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Maybe the 'grass always seems greener...' etc. If things don't change in the next ten years I'm gonna find myself a job on the continent.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

One thing they have on the continent is space. England is so crowded it's silly. OTOH France is a *really* expensive place to live (20% VAT!). When I make my millions, I'm going to retire to New Zealand.

lol snafu  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yeah! Birmingham is the balti capital of Britain. I have a friend who lives near there (he supports Kidderminster Harriers I think), he keeps trying to get us to come down and sample the balti houses down there. Might get there one day.
