Curry on a Thursday

It was a good turn out at the Staple Hill Oak last night for a Weatherspoon's curry. Jim, Pete, Geoff, Duncan, Mary, John, Alaniss and Channon and of course yours truely. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi (also jhal frezi, zalfrezi, and many alternative spellings). It was very good and not too spicey although on the menu it had three chillis on the hotness scale. However, enjoyed a couple of pints of Corn Dolly 5%. A really nice and drinkable pale ale. However, they ran out of Corn Dolly and had to go onto the Sneck Lifter 5.1%. A little darker than the Corn Dolly but drinkable. Then onto a couple of bottles of red wine. Los Romeros Merlot. A dark red fruity wine from Chile. Though I am sure the label said Produce of China. Chile is the place for Merlot, add into the mix a first-rate producer and you a have smooth, fruity, jammy little drop of heaven. Yes, a good night eating curry, talking bullocks with yer mates, drinking good beer and wine. Ah! What else is there except more of the same. Roll on next Thursday.
