Just ordered a take away curry for the first time in about 2 years.

Mine was fine, smelt, looked and tasted good.

My wife order a prawn thingy and I kid you not, it smelt of $hit!!!

I've rang back and complained and the guy apologised and is sending a refund round, I'm not sure it will appear though.

If it doesn't I will be paying them a visit tomorrow.

Thing is, they just shouldn't be allowed to sell foul smelling food, it's bloody dangerous. I've kept the dish to hand back to the shop and also kept a small sample. But where do I take it to air my grievance? I'm all in favour of small independent business but $hit flavoured curry is taking the pi$$ and I reckon they need a visit; but I don't know who to approach. Is it my local council or the food standards agency or someone else?

Oh and no she didn't eat it and yes I did eat mine, it was 9pm, I was fvcking starving and we have a slice of mouldy bread and some breast milk in the fridge. Mine tasted OK, not the best curry by a long shot mind.

Environmental health (local council) would be my first port of call.

Your breast milk tasted OK? Issues.

Suspect they think you're trying to pull a fast one. You'll have to take it back to them and prove it, really.

Dunno I've never tasted $hit, not on purpose anyway. I've not tasted breast milk either, on purpose anyway smile

4 week old baby btw, hence the breast milk.

I'm going to ring the council on monday. Going to stick my vindapoo sample in the freezer.

Keeping a log is a good thing to do.

I've not had a prawn curry that smelt of st but once had 4 steaks come out of pub kitchen that did.

Suffice to say that all 4 were VERY off and they had cooked and sent them out.

You could smell it before the food hit the table, quite how no-one else smelt it I don't know. The trouble is you're really not hungry after that.... frown

Did anyone actually try it? It may have tasted ok? Or, the chef could have been having a really bad night and his immodium tablets hadn't kicked in before he started the shift, and now he's wondering where the hell "that" dish went.............
