I find it all the more enjoyable because of an episode of Red Dwarf in which curry-loving Lister and his shipmates visit Jane Austen World and introduce the Bennets to curry. :-) looks like they would already have known, eh?(g) Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-35846659108559987202013-02-01T06:37:08.443-08:002013-02-01T06:37:08.443-08:00Hi, Anne!

By Jane Austen's time, cayenne pepper (also known as guinea pepper in Culpepper's COMPLETE HERBAL) was a well-known ingredient, used "to taste." However, even without the hot peppers, the spices used in curry would have resulted in a very flavorful dish, well able to disguise a slightly "off" taste.Lauren Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938146663557663891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-65401972238900600102013-02-01T02:14:20.024-08:002013-02-01T02:14:20.024-08:00It's very odd to think of curry apparently mad...It's very odd to think of curry apparently made without chilli..?Anne Warehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102518926229038553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-65240958763839765462013-01-31T23:58:10.131-08:002013-01-31T23:58:10.131-08:00Oh, you have made me hungry after reading your pos...Oh, you have made me hungry after reading your post. That is fascinating about the history of the spice trade and cooking with spices. Its neat to think that Jane Austen was eating dishes with curry like it was common and ordinary just like us.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-51157919022730872132013-01-31T16:59:14.555-08:002013-01-31T16:59:14.555-08:00Great resources.
