Yeah, we have Balti houses in Nottingham. One weird thing about Nottingham is
vindaloo curries. Everywhere else in the country, vindaloo is a very hot curry,
but in Nottingham vindaloo is mild-medium hot. The hottest you can get is
usually a Ceylon or a Jalfrezi (sp? Has lots of fresh chillis in it).

Anywhere else have this weird behaviour? What's the hottest curry YOU've ever
had? Answers on a postcard to uk.misc...
