You can have a Chicken Naga or a Meat Naga, etc...
I sometimes prefer it to chicken because it's got a bit of flavour of it's own (if tougher)

Have to admit - I've not tried the "lamb" from our current curry-house (we only have 1 curry-house in Chichester that are prepared to deliver outside the city walls.... we're only 2.5 miles from the city centre. :wtf: )

Another question that needs to be answered....

Why does the curry always taste better in-house rather than takeaway? And the Kingfisher always that much crisper and satisfying?

What colour do you want it to be? It's imaginary so it can be any colour you like.

I've never tasted kingfisher. There can't be a lot of meat on them as they're not that big.

A delicacy perhaps. I doubt they're as tasty as collared doves.

Even more confusingly...
Why is the takeaway portion size so much larger than the portion size in the restaurant, for less money... :wtf:

There is no boathouse at Hereford & it's another early exit for Sean Bean in a film, just not dead this time!

Do you mean how far does it go out into the river, or how long is it going along side the river, though the current one is a modern recreation of the original which was demolished nearly 100 years ago.
