Ok for 8 year old to have chicken vindaloo?

I'll happily eat a vindaloo, so I'd buy two curries, and share out half the vindaloo to him. If he then didn't want it, waste not want not, and he could have the other one as well.

Nothing wrong with a decent Vindaloo, just as much flavour as anything else, I always have chicken tikka vindaloo. Admittedly it's a bit bland from a lot of places but it's lovely if done correctly. Good ones always tend to be orange/brown rather than red & you can taste a hint of Lemon.

The local place does something similar called a Naga Chicken, it's got fresh chilli's in it rather than just powder & has a ghost chilli in there aswell, i could eat that every day if it wasn't for the fact my colleagues complain that I stink of Garlic the following day.

I really like the addition of potato in a curry as well. Granted you could include bombay aloo in your order, but it's not the same.

I wish you could pick up proper naan from a super market bakery like normal bread.

proper naan is made using a tandoor.

not a lot of people know how to use them. plus they generate a crazy amount of heat which needs a huge fan extraction system.

plus they don't stay fresh for long. as in they really need to be eaten within 20 minutes before they start to lose it.

it's just not viable. i may try making some in the pizza oven but that hits 350-400C with the right amount of wind.
 
You can make lovely fluffy ones at home, not exactly the same but they're delicious none the less. Have a googs
 
My kids tried a few different curries that I've had but do not like them and i don't even have hot one's any more, I once cooked my own with bhut jolokia chillies some stupidly hot sauce and felt like i was gonna have a heart attack, one mate finished it out 3, Now i just like a good medium with nice flavour.

But we also eat a lot of plants for thier "flavour" when that flavour was developed by the plant to stop things eating them.

We're just weirdos

That's also true. Probably because most people's diet in the past was generally boring so any different taste was welcome. People also used them for toothpaste and breath fresheners. Not just mint, although that was common because it's effective and very easy to grow in many parts of the world.

It's evolution, of course. Plants evolve chemical defences against being eaten, animals that eat plants evolve immunity to them. Humans less than many animals because we're not herbivores, but still a fair few.
 
If an 8 year old kid is precocious enough to want a hot curry then they should be applauded. I wouldn't want to deny them that experience.
 
I wonder if the desire for a vindaloo is coming from the Fat Les song?

Maybe the child doesn't understand what it entails?
 
Wow
Whats on earth is the big deal?
Let them have a taste of it, if they like it, let them have it?
Why is this such an issue for you?
