A trip to High Street South and Teza had Tony, Alan B, Ian R, Julian, Colin, Brian, Bill, Tom and James meeting up for November's Curry Club meeting. A second visit to what was the old Waggon and Horses.
We seated quickly and ordered the usual round of drinks and for a change some ordered poppadoms. There was an amusing moment when Ian R tried some brinjal pickle and suffered the consequences.
Early discussion was about the second world war, there are quite a few curry club members that were in it. Then we got onto a favorite subject, films! We started discussing Steve Martin films and then offered various votes for best/funnest film. Blazing Saddles, Wonderful Life, Life of Brian, The Italian Job and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly scored high. Those that have seen the latest Bond movie agreed that the action scenes were filmed too frantically, with half a second here and there leaving the viewer with the feeling of, "what just happened then?".
Bill was watching his weight so he could get into a tux on his coming cruise. We did say a veg curry would be best, but since a childhood incident with a cabbage and brussel, he has stayed well clear of green things.
Once we'd had a a good drink and the conversation contiuned to flow, we had a quick round of famous for what, Colin offered that his dad had played for Rushden Town and scored a hat-trick against Peterboro. But this was later trumped by someone (might have been James) saying their mothers milkman was Sean Connery!!! Then James brought some doubts as to whether he should be at the mens curry night by admitting to seeing mamma mia!
The food arrived and we tucked in. Everything we ordered made it to the table and all agreed that the food was good. So to the scoring, Quality was a good 4 out of 5. Quantity scored 4.11 and Price down at 3.22. Staff also scored 3.22 and finally Ambiance scored 3.55. This gave a total of 18.1. Not as good a score as expected, but there you go. Of course the opinions expressed here are entirely personal and represent out view on the night.
So, next month we will visit our favorite of the year. Until then enjoy your curry!!!!
