OMG. I so desire same. Now have to Google for proper restaurant.... Goes great with a yard of ale. Darn. I rushed off to the nearest big city with Google and Yelp searches for Indian restaurants, found one with the name Curry in it, somewhat near where I needed to go anyway. Sadly, no shrimp was to be found, and I had to settle for Chicken Tikki Marsala. And the chutney sucked. It was all liquid, no chunks of mango at all. Give me Major Grey's anytime. The owner said that Marsala was also a Brit invention. But it cost me only $10 and the Naan was excellent. No ale either, not even an inch. Not sure that Marsala was an English invention. All that means is it's cooked in Marsala wine, which originally was grown in, or near the City of Marsala, IT. Two very different things. Marsala is the Italian wine. Masala (no "R") is the spicy curry sauce. So chicken tikka masala is not comparable with chicken marsala. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka_masala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_marsala That said, I would think that Major Grey's Chutney and a yard of ale are one of the few decent foods created by the Brits. I used to get mine in a British style restaurant. A short time after it closed, the former matre di opened a place of his own. Sadly no curries. I did find decent curried shrimp at several Thai restaurants. While the places I tried didn't have ale, they did have a decent Thai beer. (Life moves on, and we humans are adaptable creatures.) I know, but John said Marsala ...and you compounded that error. That is what happens when you order food based on phonics and erroneous spelling rather than knowledge of the cuisine. I can just see Guido's face when he orders Chicken Marsala at the Bombay Curry Palace, and is greeted with the spicy fragrance of masala. By coincidence my wife and I were talking about a local Italian restaurant that suddenly closed. I apologize for my mental misdirection. -- PeterN |
