Indian Food Take Away

When we first arrived to Gibraltar, we didn’t have stocked cupboards, so we headed out to the supermarket.  As we were loading up on supplies, we noticed a large section that was all take away, heat and eat food.  As we were looking through the various offerings, one thing was readily apparent.  These were not the typical American re-heatable meals.  One look at the ingredients list, and you could see that the preservatives were missing, and the ingredients were all natural goodness.  Intrigued, we chose an Indian meal for 2.

Upon opening the bag, we were not disappointed.  Everything looked fresh and good.  We heated everything up, and Nancy plated it for proper presentation.  First taste told us that these were no ordinary take aways.  We enjoyed the explosion of flavors as we celebrated our wonderful find with high fives.  For £6.95, this was a great find.  We have now had this meal twice, and both times we have thoroughly enjoyed it.  The second time was a different selection of Indian food, but just as good as the first.  One item was very spicy, the chicken jalfrezi, but I still enjoyed its great flavor through my tears and runny nose.  When I noticed what appeared to be the same pepper arriving on my fork for another bite later in the meal, I didn’t shy away.  Yep, that was the one.  Tears flowed again, but I was still loving my meal.  As I write this now, I sit with a full, warm belly.  Looking forward to the next time we eat in for good quality Indian food.

  1. More posts about spicy food, please! I love discovering things like what you described here while I’m traveling. Fresh, cheap and delicious food is always great to find!

    1. Thanks Matt! That is good to know. We are never sure if what we write about is interesting to anyone else. So it is always nice to hear! Yes, we will keep an eye out for more spicy food.

      1. I read all the updates and I wouldn’t if I didn’t find them interesting, but I definitely really enjoy the ones about food and things that are a little bit different (like the red underwear) that you encounter while traveling. Actually, I also really like the ones where you sort of go by the seat of your pants and explore a new place.

        1. Thanks Matt! I agree and I appreciate the input. I also like flying by the seat of my pants. You never know what you will discover!
