I don't like any hot or spicy foods, chilli-con-carne, even mustard and strong pickles. Also, curry smells horrible and looks like something the cat sicked up, those attributes put me off it too. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Has to be the worst type of food available and there are far too many curry shops and restaurants in the country in my opinion. Down the toilet is the best option for it. Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.
