Currry Menu

On Friday night I went to a new curry house that's opened up in town. I think it might be called Spice Club. It has a menu with some fairly ridiculous (and unhelpful) descriptions of the food:

Spice Club Menu

My favourites are:

"Handi Lamb or Chicken
Relatively sophisticated dish developed for the Mongul emperors. Easy young meat such as calf or spring chicken always used for this dish, so its easy to break with your fingers avoiding the need of cutlery. Its knack of course aided greatly by using chapptti nan as a type of cutlery to carry it in your mouth. The once all powerful Shah of Asia said that eating with knife and fork was like making love through an interpreter."

"Nepalese Style Lamb or Chicken
Jinnah's frustration echo from around the world race religion age gender we are all united in our intention to eat well. Food can cause havoc with our psyches as well as our bodies, food is fuel we have to eat so it may as well be tasty .A little of what you fancy and lot of what you need is the way to go . So trust the chef."

Note that in neither of these descriptions do they even attempt to start to describe what it might taste like, or even what might be in it. It's either a carefully cultivated piss-take or possiblty just a work of minor genius.

There's another one that says "it will make you contemplate eating." Surely that's why you went into the restaurant in the first place!
