Iceland do some surprisingly good frozen curries which you can defrost and heat up in a pan. They do some real hot ones occasionally. Their "Atomic Vindaloo" was pretty hot as was their Phall.
Had their chicken Carolina Reaper Chili curry the other day (thankfully not on the bank) which was explosive in many senses and much, much hotter. Had to eat a large tub of yoghurt.
So hot it actually made my pee burn in the morning. Be warned. I would not go there again.
Ages ago had one of those tinned turkey curries where you pull a tab or something and the tin heats itself up. Got it from a camping shop. Was absolutely disgusting.

Mike here. I don't post much and mostly lurk so far.
I lived in Kent for a long while starting on Brooklands then fishing the then Leisure Sport tickets, Darenth and Sutton-at-Hone, KAPS mostly too. Now moved to Wiltshire.
Fond memories of old school stuff like Send Marketing's canvas bivvy, Mitchell 300's fishing for churners and before I had buzzers me and my brother used to night fish for tench with a coin balanced on the side of a mug with the line underneath it for indication. If you got a take the coin would fall into the mug.
Then moved on to float fishing with betalights.
That used to play tricks on your eyes - stare at them for a while and you'd be convinced the float was moving all over the place. Then one night I caught a 10lb mirror on the tench gear at KAPS' Paddlesworth and that was that.
Best UK fish 32.10, France 45.5 common. Mind you, I did have a beautiful near fully scaled UK mirror about 20 years ago that I swear was pushing 40 if not bigger. Sacked it in one of those sacks with a block and draw string. Waited til sun was up looking forward to photos. Couldn't sleep, so excited. Lifted sack out of the margin and...no carp. I had forgotten to actually tighten the little block thing on the sack so it had just swum out during the night. So, that's me. A complete plonker, sometimes.
See you all around the boards, hopefully
