Trying Indian Food from Aldi

Hello, welcome back to a new dinner time.

So today I've got a lot of Indian food

because I felt like having Indian food.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get beer because

I forgot to bring my ID, and apparently I

don't look over 18 even though I'm 32, so

they wouldn't let me buy the bloody beer,

and I was too lazy to go back. I think

I'll just get it tomorrow. Always remember

to carry your passport around I think I'm

still not used to people not believing

that I'm 32. Anyway, so I got some Indian

stuff. I've got some samosas and a bhaji.

We used to sell these at the petrol

station I worked in. Every night I had to

check the expiration date to make sure

everything was not expiring, and then

sometimes I didn't check properly and I

got told off. So I'll have a few of those.

And then I'll have this for my main dish.

It's called a chicken jalfrezi.

I think it's Indian. It looks Indian.

It's got the yellow rice and

the, um, orange sauce meat stuff. Yeah, I

think it's probably Indian. So this is 550

calories. Wow. And these— wow,

150 calories for one samosa.

And then 150 for one bhaji. Wow, Indian

food is packing the calories. Good if

you're really skinny and you want to put

on some muscle. So I can cook the

bhajis and the samosas in the oven and

then it'll be crispy. If I put it in the

microwave, it'll be all soggy. 20 minutes.

What's inside of it? Flour,

wheat, coriander, cumin.

Hmm, okay, uh, I think I'll have one,

just one, because the main meal is going

to be pretty filling. So put one there.

Wow, you get quite a lot. And if it's 150

per samosa and you get 4, that's like 600.

So that is the samosa vegetable, no meat.

And this is also, uh, 14 minutes, so

slightly different.

And I put this onto the plate for

the microwave. Oh, I should have got

poppadoms. I saw those in the supermarket.

Damn, I forgot the poppadoms. I didn't get

the beer. How is this a proper Indian

meal? Oh, I should have put the rice on

first and then put the meat on top. God

damn it, my life is

ruined. Oh no.

Smells pretty good, I guess.

Now for the special yellow rice.

Yellow rice tastes— I mean, smells good

already.

It's quite a lot of food. For only— how

much was it? It wasn't even £2, it was

like £1.50. Pretty affordable

if you're too lazy to cook.

So I've got some very good news. I got the

apartment. My application was approved,

said I passed it, and I paid the money

today as well. £6,000. £1,000. So I'm just

waiting for them to contact me and tell me

when I can come and pick up the keys.

Very exciting. I've never— well, I don't

know about never because I got an

apartment last year, but that wasn't

really like a proper, proper apartment.

This time it's like a proper, proper

apartment because I am more responsible.

I've got more responsibilities like

looking after the bills and Probably

having to stay there for a year. I think

it's a year contract, but they said I can

pay 6 months installments. So yeah,

pretty exciting. Hopefully I can move in

tomorrow. I'm not sure how long they're

going to take. I've already paid and I

signed the contract, so I don't know what

else they need to wait for. And it would

be nice if I can just move straight there

instead of having to book a hotel for a

few nights. I have to leave this place

pretty soon. Goodbye,

apartment of loneliness and

boringness and disappointment. This is the

special apartment I booked for me and the

Manchester girl that we were supposed to

have many nights of passion together in,

but I guess she didn't want to come. Hmm,

looks pretty good.

I think it's hot. Yeah, this is

gonna make me jump and then I'll drop the

plate. Every time that timer scares

the crap out of me. Ow, this is really

hot. And we've got the bhaji and the

samosa. Well, good job I stopped it. The

bhaji is going black,

but is it crispy?

Wow, that is nearly burnt. That was good

timing. Put it on top.

Oh no, oh no. Whoa, it's hot.

Hot air is blowing at me. Ow, ow.

I can't pick it up. Oh no,

it's dropping. I, I got it, I got

it, I got it, I got it. Haha!

So that is a nearly a 900-calorie

meal. This is gonna take me some time to

finish. It's probably gonna take me 2

attempts, so I'll have to have a break

halfway. Looks pretty good,

smells pretty nice. Give it

a try. I'm not sure why I'm saying give it

a try. I'm pretty sure I've had this

Hmm, a bit cold in the middle.

I think last time I had proper Indian food

was in Japan when I was married. Some of

you may remember the video. I like the

chicken tandoori the best.

That was good.

It was so awkward going to Indian

restaurants in Japan because the Indian

staff would talk to me in Japanese. They

probably think I look Japanese, and then

I'd talk back to them in English,

and then they'll talk back to me in

Japanese, and it's like really confusing,

weird.

Situation.

Would be nice to have a beer. Stupid Audi.

I'm probably twice the age of the guy who

was trying to ID me. He looked like a

pretty young guy just working in Audi.

He's probably like 19 or 20 and he's

asking me for ID when I'm bloody 32.

Very weird.

But I guess when I'm wearing a face mask I

look way younger because you can't see my

face, so you can just see my very

slim figure. And then I'm wearing a

backpack and then I guess I got pretty

boyish hair, like a hairstyle that's not

very mature.

I think you really need to have like big

fat belly and going bald to not look like

a teenager.

When I was in Japan, I I never got ID'd

for beer.

It's funny, depending on which country you

are in, everyone's standards are

I guess it makes sense.

So my plans are for the rest of this year,

probably try and get settled into my new

place for a couple months, and then I'm

thinking of going to Greece in maybe

September, and then Berlin also in

September for like a few weeks,

short vacation, and then come back to my

apartment. That way, if things don't go

well in Greece, then I can just say, oh

well, go back home.

No, then I guess the gamble is if things

do go really well, then I want to stay in

Greece, then I've got an apartment that I

won't be using. But then I can only stay

in Greece for a few months anyway, so I

always end up having to come back to the

We'll see how it goes.

I just don't really want to rush off to

Greece right now. And she said we could

meet now if I came now, but then I have to

go to her city.

She said if, if I want to meet in Athens,

then I'd have to wait until around

September when she's not so busy.

So I think I'll just wait and then just

try and get settled into my new place.

Otherwise, if I don't have a place and I

just go to Europe again, and then things

don't work out, I'll just end up living in

a hotel in Europe for 3 months, and then I

have to come back anyway and get an

apartment anyway. So I might as well get

the apartment sorted out now.

And I feel like it's way too hot to be

going traveling now anyway. I'd only go in

July. It's so hot.

I'm wearing almost nothing right now and

I'm still melting.

So maybe things would be cooler in August,

September. September should be a lot

cooler and then it'll be a nicer nicer

time to go, I think. I think that's a good

Well, I rate this Indian meal 6.5

out of 10. A beer would have

been so great with this. I really

need to remember to bring my ID every

Oh, and I made £20 today using my new day

trading techniques. I know it's not very

much, but I was playing it safe using

small amounts. Did pretty well using

the techniques I used— I mean, techniques

I learned.

At least I made something, I guess.

Uh, is this a— I

thought it was a fingernail. It's a piece
