Curry has long been among the Britain's favourite dishes - but now there's one more reason to eat your vindaloo as a vital ingredient may be the key to fending off the cold virus.
Fenugreek has been used by mothers for centuries to stimulate the production of breast milk during pregnancy and following childbirth.
But now the herb, found in most British supermarkets, has been hailed as an unlikely "fix-all elixir" thanks to its powerful antiviral properties.
Researchers found it may stave off viruses that cause sniffles and sore throats, helping to relieve the symptoms.

Well how many will be collecting their prescription this Friday night after the pub?

I take it no one believes me..
Dad was in India during the war (WWII) and obviously developed the taste for it there. Was bought up on ring stingers so I am immune to a certain extent, but the fernugreek thing is real for my bod at least.

Is this because you can not get out of bed now due to be a super lard guy due to all those scrummy curries or just forgetting youve had a chicken Tikka? ;) :lol:

I might be a bit lardy because I have forgotten that I have already had a curry that day but not to that extreme. :D

I rarely get ill, and have put that down to eating spicy food beforehand, but recently I haven't eaten much spicy food and haven't noticed an increase in maladies.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

A good hot curry is good for clearing all passageways ;)

The Victorians believed in a good purge too. They used to have never ending pills (balls of lead lenience toxic metals) which they would swallow and let nature takes its course. When finished, the pill would be cleaned and someone else would use it.
