When my sainted mama made curry for us, she would always serve it with mashed hard-boiled eggs, peanuts and chopped banana. Now I see this being derided on a 70s recipe site.

To make matters worse, my wife looked aghast when I treated her to the same curry and side dishes.

No wonder we lost the Empire.

I suspect a chill settled everywhere that night!

We've probably all been ... well, thrown off our stride by unfortunate comments. I would share a couple of particularly devastating asides delivered to me, but we'll save that for our conversation over a good dinner sometime ;)

You poor man.

With an upbringing like that it's a wonder you can read.

We struggled through, OC. A triumph of talent over adversity.
