        • It's the mint sauce they usually give you with curries, but with ketchup in.

          Mint sauce used to be loads better when you got it in a little bag with the onions pre-mixed in. I'd like to meet everyone who complained about that and force-feed them whole onions.

          • have you had spiced onions?

            only found in scotland, made with a mix of ketchup, mint sauce, mango chutney and chilli powder, which sounds quite rank but is actually beautiful

            • "only found in scotland"

              nahhhhhhhhhh you get them in manchester

              • really?

                why have none of my english friends heard of spiced onions

                tiramisu @DarwinDude | 14 Jul '14, 09:30 | X
                • I don't think they always call them that

                  and I think it's less common to get them as a matter of course (pretty much every curry restaurant in Glasgow they're like "spiced onions yeah?" but I think I've had to ask for them in Manchester). Pretty sure we got them in Bradford too. But not London (never had a good curry in London tho).

                    my friend from essex didn't know what pakora was (despite having eating many indian takeaways). ffs, south of england.

                      • =)

                        imagine not even being able to talk about curry without getting chippy and bitter about other people

                        • getting a curry and a chippy would be too much for me

                          especially if I was drinking bitter

                        • You'll never understand a Northerner's pain in trying to get a decent curry down south.

                          I can't get a decent one just moving from Bradford to Huddersfield, never mind the bland slop you guys dish up

                      • Samosas:

                        Not nearly as common in Scotland as the North of England/Midlands, where samosas and pakoras have equal billing, but in Scotland there's a definite pakora bias.

                        Don't know or care about The South. Something about jellied eels/street burgers?

                        TheWza @DarwinDude | 14 Jul '14, 10:25 | X
                        • yeah

                          I think that's true (although I was brought up in a very samosa dominant household).

                • also when you google it most of the first results make some kind of reference to scotland

                  so i'm gonna say it's MORE OF A THING here

              • ok my investigation

                has found that they are called "red onions" in England. How confusing.

                  great naming, guys.

                  • tbh I've never heard anyone actually specifically refer to them

                    i'm definitely going to say red onions makes more sense than spiced onions though

                    noise_ramones @tiramisu | 14 Jul '14, 11:14 | X
                    • but a red onion is a fucking red onion

                      it's already a thing.

                    • MARLON: How can i make chopped up red onion like at the curry house?

                      ROSCOE: Er...you buy a red onion and chop it up?

                        the word set has a lot of different meanings too!

                    • do you also call raita 'green yoghurt'

                      and mango chutney 'orange gloop'

              • yeah 'red onions'

  • Chips, cheese and doner meat.

    That's the game.
