I can well remember my mother's recipe-book-less concession to my
Indian-born father's taste for curry. This was 10 years post war, however.
A teaspoonful of currypowder in a tin of baked beans! Sometimes with a
handful of sultanas thrown in. Oh how I did hate those nasty explosions of
sweetness in my 'savory' meal!
