    Had one this evening thinking it would be the usual 'super hot' rating that always ends up being as hot as a tikka masala. Five mins later and I'm there crying my eyes out chatting to my friend haha I thought it wasn't crazy hot but it's definitely a 'order with caution' meal for those who aren't used to chilli / hot curries. Was quite impressed with this one!

    A wee tip…after each bite of curry have some naan on its own or dipped into chutney, that will take the capsaicin off your palate and reduce the heat effect, or even rice on its own, don’t mix it with the sauce! Starchy foods help quell the heat…I’ve grown chillies for over 20 years so I know! Think I’ll be trying this next week after the gym

    I’ve had this curry a few weeks ago in our local Wetherspoons. It was beautiful. I love extra hot curries. I really enjoy going to Spoons and I agree with you 100%, if it wasn’t for them, everywhere else’s prices would be even higher than they already are. It’s a shame they’re selling off 32 of there pubs. No doubt they’ll be bought by these posh chains that charge the earth for a tiny meal on a saucer lol. This is a bargain for the price and when I had mine, I gave it a 10/10. I’m going with a 10 for yours too mate. Well done for attempting it 🔥👍👍

    Great vlog Lee. I cannot understand why folk knock Wetherspoon or Spoons as we call ‘em. I’ve been using them since 1997 when my local one in town opened “The Troll Cart”. More recently we’ve had another open “The William Adams” and I love them. Cheap drinks, cheap cocktails, cheap food and the Thursday deal “Curry Club” is my favourite. Incidentally if you are ever in an UK airport, Spoons is dearer there due to the high rents that have to pay. The first ever Wetherspoon opened in 1979 North London Muswell Hill and it was just called Martin’s Freehouse after owner Tim Martin. The Wetherspoon bit was added later named after Tim’s New Zealand school teacher. The JD has recently been dropped but that part of the name descends from the 80s tv show The Dukes Of Hazzard, (hey DJ with Daisy Duke), and JD Boss Hogg remember him? Anyway enough of the history lesson, I do love a good curry and I could tell by the dark sauce over the meat that was a hot 🥵🥵🥵one. I couldn’t believe you polished it all off Lee but well done anyway. Lucky for some towns and cities that have brought the trams back. Blackpool always had the right idea and kept theirs however here in Great Yarmouth, it was the late thirties when we done away with ours to much dismay. Now we only have the horse carriages or Landaus and that famous Wally Trolley like you saw when you came here in the summer. Nice vlogs they were too. Keep up the good work Lee loving your vlogs and I would suggest go and grab some ice 🧊 water pretty quick👍😉

  • @PeteBrooksbank
    @PeteBrooksbank 2 года назад +2

    Agreed, Lee! Gooseberry Bush is definitely the nicest of the city centre Spoons but it is just that bit out of the way... which is probably exactly why it's the nicest. Very much in the Trent Uni bubble. As for the tram, permanent transit corridors are a boon for urban development around them. Plus they're rapid over dedicated lines. Bus routes that can be withdrawn overnight and are slow over the entire route just don't have the same effect on urban development.

    Well done for finishing it. I ordered this curry in the Ipswich spoons (definitely not one of the better ones) confidentiality expecting it to only be a pub curry vindaloo. Oh how wrong I was, it had good flavour but was so hot. I'm glad I tried it but it was a one time thing, back to a Madras or Rogan next time.

    I had this when I was on holiday in Newquay in May and it was hot and nice. But Three weeks later I went to a Wetherspoons in Sheffield to have it again but they didn't have it on the menu? I thought they had took it off the menu but they can't have? I'm wondering if different Wetherspoons have different choices on the menu. It was Curry Club day when I went both times too?

    Hey Lee! I always think it depends on which Spoons you go to! They are not all the same. You really are brave to tackle that curry considering we know you can’t handle spicy food like that. Still it looks good and plenty of meat in the curry so can’t complain. Nothing like. a crispy poppadum and mango chutney. Yum. Take care 😘👍🏻

  • @geebee6737
    @geebee6737 2 года назад +1

    Coming from a EV owner your tram statement rather confusing 🤣
    Bolton had an amazing tram network that was deemed archaic and covered over to make way for the combustion engined vehicles.
    Sadly we're part of the Greater Manchester conurbation that's totally covered by the modern tram systems with the exception of our forgotten town.
    Elvis juice I think I'll pass on but Doombar at £2-19 a pint , that's a sure win👍
    The meal......absolutely spot on mate and what value for money.
    It's a solid 10 from me.

  • @chrisaris8756
    @chrisaris8756 2 года назад +4

    Totally agree re trams! I think it’s because councillors (who are not known for their brains usually) think they are twee and give the town a cosmopolitan look. They don’t. They are stupid things, cost a fortune to instal, dangerous to pedestrians, totally hopeless if one breaks down blocking the route.

  • @Johndeplume.
    @Johndeplume. 2 года назад +1

    Top stuff, Lee!
    Some 'Spoons are rubbish, others are absolute gems. There's a few in central London that have ornate chandeliers... far from 'wouldn't be seen dead in there!'. If memory serves, I think it's near the banking district.
    Can't complain with any of the pricing at Wethies, also his respect for the history of the buildings. With the cost of living getting out of control, he's enabled many to still be able to enjoy a pint outside the house. The food is decent (although, I went off the lamb shank a while back, when I received one cold... that made me think he freezes his meals).
    Top review, Lee.
    Nb: I bet the curry wasn't that hot! ;)

I set off walking home and I literally had to try and control my breathing 🤣 I thought I was guaranteed to be sick but luckily, I managed to keep it down!
    Thank you for all the exposure you give to Wetherspoons, and your custom is appreciated!

    Have you ever run into any Pittenger’s there in Nottingham? That’s where my family hailed from back in the days of Charles II !
