That is sooooo funny. But there is tikka masala...
Broken clock is right at least once a day. :LOL:

And that's not a slight against them... some of the best bakers I've ever encountered. Just the cuisine in general is flat. Actually tikka masala is somewhat bland compared to other Pakistani/Indian dishes. Still delicious though. Wasn't that technically in Scotland though?

Conquer the world for spices and actively choose to not use a single one in any dish....
Years ago after a couple of takeaway chicken vindaloos that I thought were way too mild, the next time I used a different takeaway and told them to make me a chicken 'phall' curry that was as hot as they could possibly make it. After a few mouthfulls I was straight to the fridge to drink some milk then cleaned my teeth, hotter than even I like it. But my son and dil recently brought me a bottle of the supposed hottest chili sauce in the world back from the US and warned me to use only a small amount, instead I took a spoonful of neat sauce which wasn't just hot it was so hot in numbed my mouth... But I'll use it in one of my 'Simaloos', I'm Simon and Simaloo is my custom indian hot curry, I usually make a batch in a big pan and freeze enough for around 10 big meals.

I don't much care for hot for the sake of being hot. Hot seasoned is very different than hot hot... for example Carolina reaper... that being said I can not walk into my local Indian establishment and ask him to make it for me how he does at home for I am weak lol. I enjoy the cuisine though and naan is fantastic as are most of the currys I've had.

I can’t do super Hot. I don't mind spicy but if I can taste what I’m eating because I’m on fire it doesn’t make any sence to me.

Try Chipotle powder in next chili or pot roast. Light on pot roast a bit heavier on the chili. I do 50/50 chili powder to Chipotle powder for my chili and about 75/25 if I just do a chuck or butt for shredded Mexican meat but also add large cut jalepenos or pablanos. Mostly mild on the tounge but warm from the belly.

See heres the spiceless British thing , my fave meat is either roast lamb leg/shank or pork shoulder and the only thing I put on it it salt and olive oil . I have never cooked a pot roast , actually going to google it coz Im not sure exactly ,............unless its the slow cooker thing ,I do lamb shanks and topside steak in that, throw in anything dodgy looking from the vegie bin a squirt of tomato and Worcester sauces and a packet of instant gravy and give it 8hrs

Never gotten into lamb and it's fairly pricey here in the states however a pork shoulder (butt) you can do the same. When you shred the meat all spices get mixed in with the meat and juices/fat. Plop on a tortilla and enjoy. Pot roast is just a slow cooked chuck roast. Same spices and same shredding process just a smaller cut of meat. Now dont get me started on pork country ribs....

I'm British and have to admit my favourite meal is a traditional roast dinner, beef / turkey / pork, roast potatoes, various veg, Yorkshire puddings, proper gravy. Fish'n'chips if they're good quality and cooked right, Indian curries such as Vindaloo. Enjoy barbeques but they're usually simple with burgers, sausages, chicken, pork, lamb kebabs, mushrooms, maybe some steak, we don't usually smoke stuff during bbq's. Do buy various spiced sausages, chicken, pork, etc for the barbeque though, cajun, indian spices, etc, bought ready coated in spices rather than add spices ourselves.

Unfortunately my wife is not a fan of yorkshire pudding and aint nuthin wrong with a basic roasted hunk of meat with veggies. I very much appreciate your term of 'proper' gravy.

The bbq you describe is actually grilling. Most folks confuse the two.

Grilling is cooking food quickly over high, direct heat, creating char and sear (think burgers, steaks, veggies); while barbecuing (BBQ) is a slow-cooking method using low, indirect heat and smoke for hours, tenderizing tough cuts like brisket and ribs. The key differences are speed (fast vs. slow), heat (high vs. low), and heat direction (direct vs. indirect), with grilling perfect for quick meals and BBQ for deep flavor and tender textures.

I do all my roasts on a gas bbq with a lid , a weber Q .Im sure the water released while burning lpg ( you get 1.2l of water for every l of gas ) helps keep things moist and cook for 3-4 hrs at about 85-90⁰c. Beats cleaning the oven too🙂.
