Today's topical meme     

Don't feed the clown!         

I'll really have to beg to differ on Amrit - as a previous poster put it, "a low rent cocktail bar masquerading as an Indian restaurant"

Why waste your time "debating" with a clown? You're never going to get anything back but rants and conspiracies!

A must read - what the Tory leadership contest tells us about Brexit   https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2022/08/what-leadership-contest-tells-us-about.html

In the same vein, more breathless hyperbole from ExBerliner's food critic "Jane Silver"   https://www.exberliner.com/food/from-agni-to-zora-indian-restaurants-berlin/   I have been underwhelmed by Bahadur, Agni, Chutnify; rather liked Swadesh; am a regular visitor at the Zora Supermarket; and have yet to visit India Club, The Indique, Saravanaa Bhavan, Singh, Tandoori Nächte...   This discussion is really going viral!     

Hellfire, what a mess. 😡   https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/aug/03/spiralling-inflation-crops-left-in-the-field-and-travel-chaos-10-reasons-brexit-has-been-disastrous-for-britain

Here we go again - now ExBerliner is claiming an improvement in the quality of Indian restaurants in Berlin (Tandoori Nächte & The Indique).  I don't know either - any reports?   https://www.exberliner.com/food/tandoori-nachte-and-the-indique-a-tale-of-two-biryanis-indian-restaurants/   Tandoori Nächte, Bornimer Str. 4, Charlottenburg, Tue-Sun 11-23  The Indique, Ziegelstr. 29, Mitte, lunch Wed-Fri 12-15, dinner Wed-Sun 17-23
