    To those out there that might not know but may owe a debt of thanks to someone called Pat Chapman. I believe He passed away July 22 . 2022 ..Now In days long before vlogs he wrote numerous books on the thing he loved & we all love CURRY and all things associated . If it wasnt for him I wouldn't have started my passion for finding that BIR " curry secret" and wouldn't be lapping up all the great channels youtube have , like yours Al ; some of whom I am sure are indebted to Pat also.
