When you've been
I give you my absolute guarantee that you will regard every other curry you've ever had as terrible in comparison - even those that you thought were great, will suddenly seem rubbish in comparison.

I can't think that I would describe any curry that I've had out as great
I've had plenty of good ones, but none that are great. The south west doesn't have the standard of curry and chinese that is available in that London, or places like Brum.

I've cooked a couple of pretty mean ones myself, but the best ones are more tagine like than curry I'd say.

my old music collaborator
used to do a mean chicken and apricot curry which was v tagine-y. Having been to Morocco (I wonder why I went there, eh?) I could happily go ten years without having another tagine. Not the most imaginative bunch I found- though I did have the most incredible seafood of my life, grilled on the quayside, fresh out of the sea.

Mind-bogglish hashish too. I had the closest to an out of body experience on it. Whilst having sex. Bizarrely it's possible this was my daughter's conception.

nice
the one I have in mind is a lamb one. really rich and thick and delicious, and then to make it extra awesome you melt a load of butter with cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and dried apricots in it and pour it over the top before serving.

that sounds good. I haven't had any truly mind-bending gear for ages. I reckon I might make a bong over christmas. It's been too long since I had one, and I need to get that big bong smile.

Christ I've not had a bong in aaaages
I used to live on them. In the old crusty traveller days we used to smoke hot tongs - antique iron curling tongs heated up with a blowtorch, a small blim of hash dropped in, close, fill up a milk bottle with smoke...inhale. Die.

I took my tong kit with me when I started university - I scared the shit out of the other halls residents, the poofs.

haha
I've always been excellent at hand crafting bongs from plastic bottles. just need a trusty metal tube and a socket set.

I had an incredibly industrious pal
who made amazing devices using Jack Daniel's bottles, tubing and fishtank sealant, with a glass-cutting drillbit. His crowning glory was a double bong made from a wine bottle with a hurrican lamp on top, so the smoke went through two chambers before you toked it.

Design award winning stuff, in a parallel universe.
