Nice to see balti being heralded in a poem by Keith Bracey (@1truclaretnblu) aka ‘the Brummie Bard’… from his book of poetry From Bearwood & Beyond
Balti Belt n Braceys an Ode to The Birmingham Balti
Ladypool Road or Stoney Lane
No two Curries are the same
Sizzling Tandoori, Tikka too
Balti ‘Buckets’ or Vindaloo
Kashmiri Spices, Herbs and Veg
Chapatis, Roti or Naan Bread
Adil, Imran’s, where will you go…..?
It’s the ‘Taste of Birmingham’ you know
The Colourful Shops in vibrant Streets
Window displays of cut-up Sweets
Silky Saris, Shalwaar Kameez
Bags and Jewellery that will please
Wedding venues for Love’s Celebration
Attended by Guests from every Nation
For Flavours tasted and beautiful odours smelt
I’ve often visited Birmingham’s Balti Belt……..
