amazingly we have two, plus two Indians. Being a university town  we do have quite a quantity of pubs and places that do meals as students apppear averse to cooking.

I'll try and find the photo I have somewhere of the Vegetable Biriani that one provided once. possibly the most wind inducing meal of all time, the majority vegetable of choice was Sprouts. Sprout curry is not the most freindly of meals ever created.

Schwartz have started doing a biryani mix which I thoroughly recommend. I used it to make a quick veggie meal for a friend and it was delicious.  I haven't seen it in Tesco or Somerfield, but it is in Sainsburys (have they dried your out yet ?)

Well our co-op never quite floods, although its carpark is a frequent boating lake. If I want Sainsburys I have to head to Swansea.  

I'll have to try that mix, as handmade ones are one place where ingredient creep does tend to get to me.

I decided not to bother with a spoon for chilli powder earlier.  I don't need one. Because I can just tip up the jar and get the right amount...

Half a jar of powder into the saucepan later, I decided not to scoop it out because it was only Sainsbury's and therefore never very hot anyway.

Diluted by two extra cans of beans and one of tomatoes, dinner is about edible.

On the plus side, I guess I've cooked for tomorrow.  And for a couple of days after that...

yes, A local businessman started the one I'm using tonight as an addition to  a firm he created that makes organic soups, pasta sauces, salads and sandwiches from local ingredients. He saw a gap in the market when a lot of chinese students arrived in town, so he found a couple of chinese chefs and employs the students as waiting staff etc. The resulting food is a cut above most chinese restaurants i've tried.
