At the time of writing, the sign-up sheet only has space for 12, and these have been taken up by:

But I'm sure Orable'll have seen Lissy's post and will take it into account when he works his magic later on this week.
Orable
yep, he sure will... 12 and two waverers.

Just got back from the UK, they confiscated the bloody cheddar mad.gif 1 cow in the south of England gets poorly and it's sorry mate that Orkney Cheddar is a banned substance.
admetus
Well, what do you know, so it is: Advice to people travelling abroad. I went through Heathrow last week and I never even noticed. Big fat zero for observation I get.

QUOTE (DEFRA)
Fresh meat, fresh milk, milk products from animals or meat products from animals which are susceptible to foot and mouth disease [cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, deer] should not be taken or posted abroad. It is impossible to draw up a comprehensive list of every banned food
Katja26

Did you have it in hand luggage or did you get searched? Or did you go through the 'goods to declare' aisle- I normally head that way by accident then swiftly change direction- must look well dodgy! I can get some next week if you like Faskally (assume thats who it is for?) as back in Londonia for the weekend- and will really go this time!!!
Orable
Had to give it up at security screening in the UK. Should have been asked at the check in counter but I use the automat and don't pay any attention, just press no for all the questions. I don't think the ban will be in place for long but I really wouldn't encourage smuggling stuff through.
frizzyjen
Its cheese!!! Hardly class A smuggling!... I'll probably give it a go! So you can't bring anything through that's meat or dairy? Oh and the bacon was LOVELY by the way.. had a big fat butty.. only thing missing was the brown sauce!
admetus
Well, from the DEFRA advisory again:

QUOTE (DEFRA)
some examples are bacon, sausages, ham (including sandwiches or pizza containing these ingredients), soups containing meat pieces, cheese, cream, butter, milk powder, yoghurt and ice-cream. These rules also apply to items such as biscuits, bread, cakes, chocolate or confectionery, pet food and fish bait that contain dairy and meat products

On the other hand, I certainly didn't notice anyone in a hazmat suit frantically pulling the chocolate or the shortbread from the shelves in the duty free section of terminal 1. And I know someone who flew out of London City yesterday morning, and they seemed blissfully unaware of any restrictions there.
Orable
OK, booked for 14 so Lissy & Katja, see you there wink.gif
auslandtrev
sorry, can't go because it looks like I have to work. mad.gif
Lissy
Thank you!
See you tomorrow
Mauddib
Life the universe and everything... or at least my job... is getting in the way and I am going to have to withdraw before the good bit (go on Orable, you know you want to comment).

So maybe next week, sowwy!

Indeed I must, Sir. Your grammar is frankly appalling, 'going to have to'. Was there a sale on at the verb shop?
wrightNYC
What time do y'all normally go? I didn't see any mention of time. Can I jump into one of the abandoned spots? There's room on the sign-up sheet now... unsure.gif I promise to do my best to curb my verb usage. smile.gif

Newbie (i.e., Colin)
admetus
8pm. (In the sub-heading/subtitle.)

Verbs tolerated.

Edit: Seriously though, I'm sure there'll be room. We can always scruntch up, squeeze in and manage somehow anyway, but I don't think we'll have to as my spies report that the restaurant is usually quiet and pretty empty. So, see you at 8pm. We'll probably be the only ones there. Cheers.
redcarpet
Can´t make it again tonight, so sorry! blink.gif
Next week will be my last wednesday here and it´s reserved for you guys, take this as a promise!
alimac_99
Good to know that you guys will most likely be at least the biggest group, hopefully not the only ones. That does not bode well for a curry place.

This will be the first curry night for me.

Newbie too.
Orable
Don't worry, 2 weeks ago we were the only group in the (2nd choice) restaraunt but still had good foodand of course, good company. I find Indian food has a different place in the eating out hierachy here in Germany than in the UK. The higher prices probably deter midweek trade, so an emptyish restaraunt doesn't automatically indicate a problem.

With the help of my friends here on Toytown I'm planning to review every curry house in the city smile.gif The worst so far has been Gaylord near the main station, not actually bad, just bland food and tired decor.
frizzyjen
OOOOoooo you curry connoiseur (I know its probably spelt wrong!) you!!! I look forward to reading your reviews! smile.gif
Orable
you can view the list so far Reviews. Thanks for the listing also, there's a few on there I didn't know about.
Lissy
Sounds good, you could call it the alternative Frankfurt geht aus - Curry edition smile.gif

Also, If you can get to Bad Soden, the Maharani is still the top of my list!
newfoundlander
Sorry guys - bailing at the last minute. Shouldn't be a problem anyways - I never made it onto the list.
snoffy
Won't be joining you tonight due to football and will miss out next week too cos I'm on holiday. Have a spicy one for me and CU in two weeks all being well.
Jonnyboy
rocking the boat, i know, but i thought last nights food was far better than anything I've had at the other indian restaurants in Frankfurt (including Banjara...)
frizzyjen
I havent eaten at Banjara but would definitely agree that that was in my top few... I think maybe the food at India Palace was more like British curries though... but was a good night!

The Jalfrezi could have been a little better. Was a little over salted and a bit under with the chillies and capsicum IMO but we're talking about the difference between being good and great. Otherwise everything else (service, prices, cleanliness) was fine. I'm sure Curry Night will revisit Mayur sometime soon!
frizzyjen
Have now added it to the restaurants list on here... so Orable the great curry review begins!
Orable
Hello Curry Fans,

Our next Curry Night will be at 8PM on September 5th, 2007. When we will once again visit the Palace of India;

Palace of India
Konstabler-Arcaden
Vilbeler Str, 27
60313 Frankfurt.

Palace Of India

If you are familiar with the Rama V Thai restuarant, it's just over the street from there.

The website has a map; also Google Map it's very close to Konstablerwache bahnhof for both S-bahn and U-bahn and there is also parking near the Sheraton Hotel.
frizzyjen
Me me me... I'm in!

@Orable:- Was that quicker than your reply to my Spanish night??? wink.gif
Orable
Considerably faster... I'd only just finished asking Editor Bob for the sign-up sheet wink.gif
admetus
Me. Please. Thank you.
Lissy
Can I be a provisional please?
frizzyjen
@Orable... haha Jalfrezi- you're so predictable! Sorry I forgot (cough cough) it's for a fair comparison- though have yet to see one of these great reviews! wink.gif
nick60599
Won't be there sad.gif going back to the UK for a couple of days on the Tuesday.
Evanna
I'm in! smile.gif
Billy
Sounds good to me! I'm in too biggrin.gif
Faskally
Me too, please.

Oops, just saw that the sign-up sheet's already full...
Orable
No problem, there will be a space for you. Will make the reservation when I return on Monday, I think the export ban is lifted so hopefully I'll be with cheese.
Billy
Is the export ban seriously being lifted? I'm road-tripping back to the UK in September, will I be able to fill my boot with bacon and cheese then?
admetus
Yes, it is. From the DEFRA website, FMD: Export Information:
QUOTE (DEFRA)
Personal exports of meat and dairy products are allowed except for goods leaving the surveillance zone in Surrey.
Silly Point
My taste buds are craving for a good curry. Count me in. please.
