    Just the amount of oil and salt, mainly. Plus.. who even eats stuff like butter chicken at home? Regularly, anyways? The restaurant menus don't really reflect what people actually eat at home imo, though I know there are some 'boutique' restaurants which do, such as veg-only etc.

    :rofl2: yeah, I have. #6/10 #noseasoning
    Do you eat chicken kormas at home though? We just eat bog standard same masala/paste different veg/meat tbh.. Don't think I've ever even had butter chicken, is it nice? No one makes things like madras/rogan josh and all those other ones at home. I asked my dad to teach me how to make a chicken balti though :getmecoat: that's about as adventurous as it gets, or cream chicken :coma:

    I'm sure it wasn't bad I wanna try it! Shoulda put more salt in it yourself or something, it's still food where did you try it?

    Nah, same as you, we just have a home-made masala. I wouldn't even know what it comes under.. rogan, madras, jalfrezi.. kmt. I've tried butter chicken before but I didn't like it at all.

    I didn't want to be rude and ask for salt h3h3, tbh she didn't even provide cutlery until she was reminded. Nah, jk. :pierre: Long story man, it was last year when I went to a Leicester open day for post-grad.

    I think being a vegetarian would be quite easy for me, but would never be a vegan

    love me whole fat milk too much :sogood:

    Aye Em, veganism will defo get the banter flowing down yer local. Are you even a veggie still? Or am I thinking of someone else...?

    Allow veganism, it's just...one step too far. And chicken is too nice to give up.

    Veganism would be so difficult! Can vegans eat quorn? Somewhat OK substitute.

    What the.. you're meant to be the expert here. :rofl2: How do you not know what star anise is? Yer mam probs has it stored in one of these.

    I actually eat most things with me hands too but.. no way can I eat 'chicken with gravy' (kmt I dunno how to explain ) without cutlery. Unless it's with rotli. But yeah, rice.. I never use a spoon or.....fork, as some people do. :indiff:

    Yeah, might give soya milk a whirl though, apparently it's not too bad. Yepp meat free since Jan 01 baby. :smug:

    There are so many more female vegetarians than male. I wonder if men have less self-control...or they just don't care as much.
