Its sometimes considered the national dish of Britain <br /><br />ping: the article mentioned that the thieves seemed to be professionals, they knew which grapes to select etc. I guess we won’t find out if it was rival wineries or just plain thugs<br /><br />Wan: thanks for the link to Jasna’s blog. <br /><br />Nami: I didn’t know momotaro was a type of tomato. Guess they used it in the salad<br /><br />Sissi: I have never heard of chicken or lamb being forbidden in any religion. I know you like wines and I know this annoys you! The article mentioned that the thieves seemed to be professionals so I guess they should be able to make decent wine from it, if they make it themselves. Maybe they will sell the grapes to a professional winemaker. Or maybe make good grape juice from it! Or grape jam:)<br /><br />Hotly Spiced: life is tough for farmers I guess<br /><br />Joanne: I think its now known for sure whether tikka masala was invented in Britain or India.Three-Cookieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616627712817566828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-58003892111787291622011-11-11T13:31:46.138+01:002011-11-11T13:31:46.138+01:00Well, I THINK tikka masala was invented by the Bri...Well, I THINK tikka masala was invented by the British...so who knows why chicken and not pork!

This way they broaden the range of clients. I think no religion forbids chicken (unless it forbids meat of course). Some restaurants in my city have "halal" mentioned on their doors too. <br />Stealing grapes is criminal. Especially if the grapes were supposed to finish in an excellent bottle of wine. Those stolen, even if transformed into wines, were certainly made into plonk that wine amateurs wouldn't even touch (I cannot imagine a renowned wine producer accepting stolen grapes, not to mention the fact that most of them produce only from their grapes). <br />I love German dry rieslings and it makes me sad that thieves have no respect for produce which is farmed in such a difficult way (there is no good wine with easily farmed grapes). They probably get 1 euro per kg of such grapes...

Re...Your Pork tikka masala and rice look delicous! Regarding Momotaro salad, the linked post didn't say why it's called Momotaro.... Momotaro is a kind of tomato in Japan (it's also the name of folk tale). It's famous for its high quality, firm yet sweet... and oh I miss this so much! I forgot about this for nearly 15 years!
