ah, my son would not be eating it! as i am breastfeeding him, i need to
abstain from the allergens as well as they pass through the breastmilk.
usually everything i make is able to be eaten by all three of us, and yep, i
stick to simple , basic foods, but it my husband who is itching for a curry.
i'm not cooking a separate meal for him so looks like he will have to eat it
out if he wants it!

kind regards,
