Having had the dreaded flu all over the Christmas holiday my thoughts are with those poor souls who are still suffering.
As usual when the flu strikes, papers and magazines are full of guaranteed cures, but the one which made me laugh was the red hot Vindaloo, suggested by a doctor in a newspaper. "The hotter the curry the quicker the cure" he enthused - and I am wholeheartedly in agreement.
I'm sure Vindaloo has no medicinal properties, but anyone who has eaten a ferocious bowl will admit - you just daren't cough or sneeze the next day.
