Today Hector goes home, five days earlier than planned. Katowice was scheduled for today followed by four nights in Krakow. As it happens, I have spent most of my trip escaping from mainland Europe. The 13.55 train to Wigan was booked connecting with the Avanti to Glasgow. This meant no Platform 14 at Piccadilly, and no TransPennine cancellations. The choice of departure time was to accommodate lunch at Kabana (22 Back Turner St., Northern Quarter, Manchester M4 1LQ England).
Rizwan, Mien Host, knew I would be back. Same again – was the Order, though Cauliflower and Potatoes nearly tempted. Rizwan suggested I try the Biryani instead of Plain Rice – that would be too much – I replied, with reference to the quantity. Rizwan helped me park the luggage and get into a table. Our conversation from yesterday continued. If the suppliers have trebled the price of Meat, I could see Rizwan having to increase his prices significantly. I suggested it might be less off-putting to the customers to close pro tem than double the prices. Rizwan reckoned he could keep a rise down to about 30p. Hector the businessman, – not, one forgets that there are many more overheads than Meat, but not when Hector cooks Curry. Rizwan would bring over the Karahi Lamb.
Karahi Lamb
Rizwan, having covered the Curry with – the foliage – himself, means there are no photos of the – naked Curry – today.
The pleasures so eloquently described yesterday, maintain – same again.
Two young ladies sat diagonally opposite. I could not help but notice their Bread, such is Hector’s keen eye. If this was Naan, it was lightest, possibly fluffiest Naan I have ever seen. Or was it a – Puri?
The Bill
£6.50 a – contactless payment – my first here.
The Aftermath
I asked about the Bread, a Garlic Naan, tempting. I wonder if a Chilli and Coriander can be done?
Hopefully, The Company shall be able to return in four weeks.
