Spotted this recently in an Indian restaurant menu, and had to share. Highlighting is mine.
Butter Chicken . . . . . . $13.95
Soft, smoky tandoori strips in our special kasuri methi and ginger-flavored creamy tomato sauce. Our chef blames the fenugreek leaves for adding such an exotic flavor to this delicacy.
Well if that’s your attitude, why did you include them? What, are the leaves jumping into the pot when you’re not looking? I say, be a mensch, pal. Take some responsibility for your own cooking. It’s a poor craftsman who blames his tools.
Sheesh.
