      yeah, i'd assume it's much simpler than it actually sounds. i mean of course there's border control between england and say the rest of europe. but on road, i'd doubt there's any border between say france and germany for example. i'm not sure if any of the nordic countries like norway, sweden and denmark have any border control.. i think the term i'm looking for is Schengen area countries.

      because in that way, they can just buy a car in say germany (assuming german made cars) where it's cheaper and drive it as though you're going home to say sweden, france etc. without crossing any border control.

        You're looking at things too simplistically Louis….Cars usually have to be licensed for use in a particular country.  There are things that need to be done to conform to the countries laws as pertaining to motor vehicles and use on the road - e.g. the 10 year rule in Singapore

            Can some of my English friends please explain “Curry” to me..:

            I’m intrigued and rather hungry and am interested in trying this raved about dish.

            Is it red curry? Yellow curry? Chicken? Beef? Rice? Noddles? Something I’ve never heard of or had before??

              Curry is loads of things.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry

              Here is our favourite Curry Restaurant:

              To cook curry properly, you do need a load of ingredients, because I cook a lot, I have most things needed, but it takes time to build the stock up.

              Here are some good books…..If you can't get them in the US, let me know and I'll bring them from UK with me when we come to Austin....

                Likewise, there is Thai curry and Japanese curry, in addition to Indian curry. Depends how spicy you like your food. I tend to favor Japanese curry because I grew up eating the stuff and it's mild. But I also like sweet/spicy Thai curry. If you want some serious 'ring sting' then Indian curry is pretty darned good too

                          Traditionally curry refers to Indian cuisine and this is what most Brits refer to when they say curry.

                            It’s an absolute blast to learn about and make Indian food. I’d strongly suggest making some classic recipes first, using the correct ingredients and techniques. After that you can get crazy.

                              Since my first attempt at making ramen was somewhat of a success - I may try to attempt a curry - I just don’t really like hot foods, so I’ll tone down the chillis..

                              I’ll keep everyone posted - probably won’t get around to it until next week or so… it’s storming here and doubt my wife needs me to make a $300 trip to Whole Foods to make my lunch food for the week buying stable ingredients lol [emoji23]

                                There are lots of Indian curries that are very mild, using little or no chilli. Try Kormas…

                                  I was going to suggest a Korma. Very mild with strong coconut flavour, fairly easy to make a decent job of one too.

                                      Mmmmm, gosht korma and garlic naan, fresh out of the oven.  Finish it off with some gulab jamun.

                                      Damn you, now I want Indian food for dinner…

                                        If you're a fan of spinach, like I am, I'd also suggest making a chicken tikka saag. Another great mild curry 🍛
