A B Rogan? Gosh!

Have a curry on a Friday Night? What a capital idea!

Grab a menu, peruse the vast array of wonderful exotica dishes, pickup the phone, and place the order.

A well tried and tested ritual across the globe. Well perhaps not in or Mumbai, or the province of Madhya Pradesh, unless of course you want to curry favour with the locals.But enough of the terrible pun jabs.

Sure enough we too joined the very British ritual last night, and ordered the obligatory Butter Chicken, Lamb Korma and not one garlic naan, but extravagantly opted for 2! Normally we share as they are so generously proportioned, like an elephant, and tear it two, a sort of Naan asplit.

In little over twenty minutes it was ready and I set off, eagerly expectant of the prize to be taken at the end of the drive. I parked my trusty steed in the car park and walked up to the magical palace of light that is the local Masala emporium.

I was met with wafts of Eastern spices, tandoors, and the sizzle of meats as the waiters delivered their game to the diners, eager maharajahs awaiting their feasts.

Greeted by the staff like an extra from the Jewel of the Crown,I was ushered to the reception to pay for our banquet. My card was charged and the food was furnished in front of me with a flourish and a smile.

As I turned to leave I saw the food rating on the wall.....
B for Butter Chicken.
Bother.

I wondered what catastrophe had befallen the normally A rated Masala? Had they perhaps been infested with a plague of marauding gourmet tigers?

Or had the meat delivery had been interrupted mid wicket and rained off? 
I pondered these thoughts as I drove home.

By this time I was a ravenous vulture, ready to devour anything, no matter what it's sauce.

However the spectre of unhealthy food handling processes still was there. My partner Glenn suggested it was more likely to do with their paperwork and written procedures, and a B was still safe. After 2 seconds of deliberating we promptly scoffed the lot.

Glad to report that the night passed without incident with no need to carry on up the Khyber.
