Exactly, they are completely different.
which type of goldfish sauce did you have? Can you recommend an "expensive & non-nasty" chinese curry sauce? Do you even like chinese curry?

I think HillBilly was more pointing out the irony in slagging off McDonalds in favour of a real curry like goldfish. In that neither is a real curry.


Everyone knows that curry isn't really chinese. I'm not sure where it came from, but I've a feeling that when take away started to become popular in Ireland/UK they simply amalgamated a load of Asians dishes under the banner of "Chinese take away". I've a feeling that the curry we get in chinese take aways was based on Japanese curry sauce. If want to copy a chinese, you are looking in Asian supermarkets, you might have better luck with Japanese curry mixes.

It could also be that they are adding more than just water to goldfish currypowder.

Take a trip to South Africa. Preferably to Durban.

Try the Durban curry's.

You will forget about any sauce and pastes.

Durban is a new one for me. Had a google there, seen a recipe. It looks very similar to an indian style curry.
I used to chinese curry when I as at home. But after moving to australia, it's all about thai curry for me. I'm lucky to live in an area with a decent thai populatio, and lots of excellent thai food.
