What do curry lovers really like to eat?

On By Daniel FordIn Curry NewsLeave a comment

In a recent survey we asked: “What’s your choice of protein when you order a curry?”

Baaaa. Good old lamb proved to be popular with 48% of people, with chicken, somewhat surprisingly, trailing with 26%. Vegetables or lentils options – and there are certainly some good ones on Indian menus – were the choice of 20%, while fish or prawns mustered just 6% of the vote. Price was no doubt a factor here, with king prawns outstripping most menu items by a fair whack.

On By Daniel FordIn Curry NewsLeave a comment

In a recent survey we asked: “What do you drink with your curry?”

An overwhelming 93% said they’d drink beer, while 7% said they’d stick to water or soft drinks. No-one plumped for wine or spirits. Maybe hoping for that complimentary brandy after the meal, eh?

How much should you tip a takeaway delivery driver?

On By Daniel FordIn Curry NewsLeave a comment

In a recent survey we asked: “When you order a takeaway curry how much do you tip the driver?”

A rather stingy 68% replied “nothing, I’ve paid already!” A bit of loose change surely guys and gals? Some 12% did say they’d tip the loose change, the same number who’d give 10% of the bill to the driver. A rather indignant 8% declared that they’d tip “more than that!” I’m pretty sure I know which group will be getting their curries quicker next time…

In a recent survey we asked: “What’s your favourite curry?”

Jalfrezi stormed the poll, with 41% saying that dish was their favourite.

The most popular hot curries

On By Daniel FordIn Curry NewsLeave a comment

In a recent survey we asked: “How hot can you go with your curries?”

The Goan classic, Vindaloo was a narrow winner with our spice heads, just pipping that perennial favourite Madras, which was preferred by 29% of curry fans. The super hot Phall polled 19% among the serious heat lovers, while another 19% said they couldn’t eat anything that hot. Korma or Chicken Tikka Masala it is for them then.

In a recent survey we asked “When it comes to bread in an Indian restaurant what do you go for?”

The runaway winner with 53% of people was the good old classic Nan. Perfect for mopping up that delicious sauce no doubt. Some 27% plumped for another type of nan (Peshwari, Keema, Garlic etc), while 20% prefer Chapati/Roti.
