Should curry houses be regulated?

Posted by Curious_Remove2648@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 22 comments

I'm a gambling man and love the spice of life (pun intended). BUT, is it acceptable that a jalfrezi can be a korma spice level in 1 joint versus a phal level in another... Same goes for madras. Holy jamooly.

Is it time to nationalise our curry houses with a regulatory body?

Nope. You pays your money, you takes your chances. Good luck.

Have you not heard of "The 1994 Curry House Regulations" part 3 section is 'jalfrezis shall have a minimum of one, but no more than 3 chillies (as laid down in the 1989 Chilli act) and a pot of yoghurt no more than 6 inches from the plate therof'

And 3 or fewer naans as 4 would be insane.

I think the simple answer is yes.

Your suggestion should make the Prime Ministers desk by 12 noon tomorrow if you start the Change.org petition by 0700. The unwavering support that this will gain from the general public will overshadow any other global geopolitical event of the next 5 years (approximately)

The impact on unemployment across the UK will be resounding, as the nation's queues to become "Certified Curry Inspectors" to maintain a level of heat and flavour profile of the 10,000 curry houses in the uk through weekly curry testing.

The demand for weekly curry inspections will increase UK GDP, clean out the UK's sewage system and ensure that "Surprise Spicy" is a thing of the past on the island we call home.

Where do I sign up?

Tbf, I know this is probably somewhat tongue in cheek but my daughter (7 year old) love a Korma and as of late we’ve been caught out a few times with ridiculously spicy Kormas and not only is it a waste of money but also she gets a bollocking for not eating her food until we try and apologise profusely 😅

Every chef will have a variation of spice mix they use and will probably tailor how 'hot' a curry type is based on their customer feedback.

They're already all serving the exact same oily slop as it is. Go to a proper Indian restaurant.

Just start eating Mr Naga chilli pickle.

Also, phaal is the stupidest British curry ever (so far)
