M1CurryClub Chili rating     

Pete’s House – 6^th September, 2002

Entrees

    Assorted nibbles

    (That’s those in the dishes, not each other)

    Popadoms

    The finest popadoms that Leicester Market can produce.  Each one has     been personally passed by the Maitre’d and the only thing you will eat      tonight which has not been created onsite.

    Onion Bhaji

Cooked by the proprietor during a rainstorm to create that authentic Indian monsoon effect.

A selection of pickles

Ranging from the ring stinging Chili, to the super smooth Raita.  Share and enjoy.

 

Fish

Nepalese Fried Fish

From the high Andes to the Alps the mountain people of Nepal are famous for their fish dishes.  This fish, caught freshly in the fast flowing currents of the Grand Union, has spent it’s life feeding off the various items cast into the water by the local residents imparting a characteristic flavour which has been enhanced with exotic spices.

 

Main Courses

Chicken Passanda

This all-time favorite has been given a true Indian feel by being cooked outside on a barbie.

Potato and Aubergine

Fresh potatoes from the garden and aubergines plucked from the greenhouse are not in this dish as they were bought them on Leicester market.  You’re only eating this ‘cos I like it.

Egg and Chana

With chana individually picked by dusky Asian maidens and eggs from chickens force fed on chilies for 2 weeks.  You’ve got this because it’s cheap.

 

Pudding

Badani Kheer

It’s Rice pudding Jim, but not as we know it.

Bhapa Doi

An unsubtle blend of chum chum and yoghurt, but a perfect end to a perfect meal.  Now cough up your dosh.

There will be a choice of drinks according to the clientele’s predilection.

 

 

M1CurryClub Reviews 

Review by Dave

 Pete's Place

A dark and stormy night not so long ago,

The Emwon curry club to Pete's place do go,

For Pete accompanied by his lady fair,

Serves the tastiest and the finest fayre,

The Emwon arrives in dribs and drabs,

Eating curried nuts, a-waiting the other chaps,

Talk of onion bajiis with e-noss missin'

And glorious smells a-coming from the kitchen,

Seated at the linen covered table are we,

Drinking beer bought from the local off-ee,

Starters, dishes of rice, vegetables and meat,

Each and every one a rare and delightful treat,

Food fit for a prince, a queen or a king,

Or rather a maharaja, or that sort of thing,

Emwon contented, eaten more than it's fill,

Ambrosia for sure, this is no bitter pill,

A collection from the deepest pockets found,

Which mine host insists to be charity bound,

Goodbyes, farewells and thank yous said,

A long journey home and happily to bed.
