Finally curry has conquered all! Mc Donald's the bastion of the blandburger has crumbled! Available this month at McDonalds....Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh!! The tasty treats don't stop there. To tickle the taste buds they add Vegetable Samosa and Onion Bhaji! It doesn't get better than this.

I think they've done some of these before. But they are excellent. And it's only a short promotion, I don't think they'll be permanent additions to the menu.

I would just like to say that, actually, it does get considerably better than this.

Still, is this just the US? I thought the current UK McDonalds special promotion was for, er, something else. Which I can't remember. Tsk.

I don't go to McDonalds, but I haven't seen anything like that advertised here. They just started putting lettece and tomato on bugers here, so I don't expect anything new for a while. I do like their coffee.

Wendy's has the only bugers I'll buy here.

Uh, as far as I know, this is not happening in the US. Indian food isn't popular enough for such a thing.

*kicks himself* Sorry, but I got MaGiC mixed up with someone else, for some bizairre reason. I must have brained my damage.

Yeah, I saw it in their today. I was only getting a cheesburger though, and didn't have enough cash on me to get one. Looked quite nice though. I might get a meal for lunch tomorrow.

Posted by MaGiC (Member # 59) on :

Liam, I'm glad you kicked yourself, you saved me a job. You've met me haven't you? Am I really that forgettable? I am crushed....

However on a lighter note *chants football style* Curry Rules! Curry Rules! Curry RULES!

Curry at McDonalds did seem a strange occurance at first, but I still tried one in Birmingham during a one hour wait for a train that didn't turn up. After trying it, it still seems a strange occurance I'm afraid. I usually cook my own curries, and this is in no way being stuck up myself, but my curries are better.

Curry still rules though!

To be fair, McDonalds isn't designed to compete with home cooking. Or even Indian Takeaways.

Burger Kings makes better burgers than McDonalds. However, McDonalds cheeseburgers are cheaper, and taste fine. So, if I'm out and fancy a quite bite, I get that.

Do the McDonalds currys taste nice? As nice as any of their other meals? Then it's okay. It's McDonalds. Don't expect miracles, and you won't be dissapointed.

Which is my mantra in bed.

Curry at McDonalds just goes to show that British food sucks.

"Curry at McDonalds just goes to show that British food sucks."

Or that British food consists of Indian food in an American restaurant.

I'm sure that means something really deep.

Hobbes: Very very basically, curry == various Indian foods. Rather popular in England, for some reason.

Lots of curry is to be found in many parts of Africa, as well. Original home of curry can be debated. For great yaddah-yaddah...

Posted by Orion Syndicate (Member # 25) on :

Curry's just a generic term for certain dishes on the Indian/African/Thai/etc etc cuisine. They're all pretty similar so have just been bunched together under one common name. However, they have now been westernised to such an extent that they no longer bear any resemblance to the real thing any more.

There isn't really one single origin of curry - it's just an English word used to describe the food that has existed in different countries for ages.
