You take a tin of Campbells meatballs in gravy and pop them into a saucepan to warm through. Then add enough curry powder to stop a bull elephant. Taste, then place the contents in the nearest bin. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I'm guessing that when you tasted it you felt as though the curry powder was sort-of 'scraping' your throat and feeling very harsh, so that's why you couldn't eat it??? That's because if you're going to use curry powder in a recipe you need to 'cook it out' first - you'd usually start with, say, browning chopped onions in oil, then add the curry powder, mix it well with the oil and pan juices and then 'cook it out' fairly slowly for maybe 5 or 10 mins - then add other vegetables (pre-browned or not) then, if you're using meat, add whatever meat you're using (again, pre-browned or not, but pre-browned is usually better) then add seasoning and lastly add stock, then increase the heat and bring it up to the boil for a minute or two, then reduce the heat to a simmer and leave it to simmer for as long as it takes to cook the meat and vegetables. I'm by no means an expert, but I think that's about right and it would explain why the way you did it didn't work. No doubt 'Arry will be on here a bit later, and will put us right….. hopefully. That's why I remembered it, Chuff!

When I was a nipper (well about 14) I thought I’d impress the family with a Sunday dinner. All was going swimmingly well until I remembered I used to love my nans gravy made with marmite in. I couldn’t remember how much though but had something telling me it was four tablespoons so that’s what I did. Needless to say nobody ate there roast dinner that day. I later discovered it was one teaspoon and still do it to this day ( one teaspoon not four tablespoons) 😳

Putting multiple splotches of Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce on a burger when I thought I had grabbed a pleasant regular ol' bottle of garlic pepper sauce. Really needed to pay attention.

Putting multiple splotches of Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce on a burger when I thought I had grabbed a pleasant regular ol' bottle of garlic pepper sauce. Really needed to pay attention. We've had one or two threads on here in the past about killer-hot chillies, with films of people eating them and then 'regretting it' - some are VERY 'extreme reactions'........... I think some might have been called 'Carolina' / 'Reaper' chillies, or sth like that.

None by me but once... My lady, when we first started seeing each other asked me if I wanted anything eat, "scrambled egg on toast with brown sauce please" was my desired choice. She whisked a couple of eggs together, splash of milk and squirted the brown sauce into the mixture and then scrambled it.
I just had the toast. Thing is, she ain't much better 11 n half years later.

Not the worst, just a tad unusual: Quietman's hovel pie - a variation of cottage pie, but we don't live in a cottage.
Mostly fairly normal stuff (although I'm told loads of tarragon in the mashed potaties is a bit odd).
But the minced beef & onions are browned as normal & then simmered in Dry Martini.
Flippin' lovely it is - Mrs Q swears it's her favorite meal ever.
Discovered the secret by accident doing a hovel pie whilst hungover & very-bleary eyed, & poured in a big glug of what I thought was white wine.

Oh, bless! I have to say that Crispin makes the most unbelievably sublime scrambled eggs........ absolutely deeeeeeeelish. The secret is to use LOADS of butter, and just very lightly-beaten eggs + S&P - no milk, ever. Do them so slowly and over such a low temperature that they take ages and keep stirring gently all the time. Fabuloso!
