Its a sweet fortified wine. Its your duty to try it, and dismiss it as 'un-Port like'.
Just have a Creamy, Spicey, tomatoey, peppery, pasta sauce bubbling at the time, and lob it in there if it's woeful. There's not only Spag Boll, you know!
I've had numerous bottles of this and I think I got one left. They are very raisiny and thick, and I do enjoy them, but very sweet like a PX and I can only drink a glass or so at a time.
I love peanut butter. I have at least three jars on the go at once - crunchy, smooth and super smooth. I sometimes have an extra-crunchy as well. I use smooth for making satay sauce.

This is off-topic, isn't it?
What is satay sauce ?
It is a sauce made with peanuts that is used to marinade chicken and other things before being cooked. I think it is supposed to be a Chinese thing but probably something the bruta made up and called it Chinese cos we don't actually like authentic eastern food.
Basically, it is chicken and peanut butter on a stick which is BBQd

Is it really Indonesian or was it invented in a curry house in Chiping Norton and then accepted by the culinary-challenged British public as authentic?

PS: Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in Glasgow - honest

Nope - satays are definitely a South East Asian thing and the peanut sauce is Indonesian. Well, Malay. I held the Public Bank Berhad record for satays at one sitting. Sadly, the previous record-holder went out and broke it the next week leaving me no time to challenge.
33 btw, didn't know it was a record when I did it.

A satay is a stick with meat on it, marinated in stuff and barbecued, then covered in peanut sauce. Don't care about the GBofR, only customer site records.
Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in a London Restaurant, (Who's name escapes me) by an early Indian Cook, who was mithered by a late 60's/early 70's, regular customer. He spent good money, but it became clear he had a sweet tooth and had Tomato Sauce (Heinz-type) with everything.
The wily chef just kept on adding Tomato's and sugar, against all traditional cooking methods, and the dish was born. Wasn't long before others tried it, and our horrendous sweet tooth, got a grip. Remember the days when everyone had 3 and 4 tablespoons of sugar in our tea. And dentists were mad busy pulling rotten teeth out!
A few years ago, it was the most popular meal in Britian. God help us!
