Tiffin Cup Goes To Wales   The first awarding of the Tiffin Club's 'Tiffin Cup' went to a small restaurant in Pembrokeshire last Tuesday, 16th May. The 2006 competition was organised by MPs Michael Frabricant, John Barrett and Keith Vaz and 14 finalists nominated by their local MP, gathered in House of Commons to convince the judges of the quality of their food. Understandably the whole affair was a little chaotic as the session bell continually went to call MPs to vote. Newly appointed Leader of the House Jack Straw - inadvertently referred to as the Foreign Secretary! - popped in to make the presentations only to disappear and not return, leaving it to Keith Vaz to maintain momentum. The judges included the irrepressible Ainsley Harriott, Lloyd Grossman, Nina Wadia, Ranjit Mathrani of Masala World Group, Sanjay Anand of Madhus and Enam Ali of Le Raj and they certainly looked to be flagging by the time the fourteenth dish appeared on their groaning table served by staff from top restaurants Madhus and Gaylord. A quick glance at judges' scorecards suggested a level of enthusiasm for the food rather less than hoped but Mr Vaz eventually declared how high the standard had been. The finished dishes were certainly an achievement for many of the chefs, who had to work in a space totally unsuited to the numbers competing. The winner by some margin was declared to be the Taj Mahal from Preseli in Pembrokeshire (pictured, right), nominated by Stephen Crabb MP, with a prawn dish. Second was Royal Alfaisal, the balti specialist from Birmingham and joint third were B. Raj Tandoori from Fraserburgh and Bombay Spice from North London. Bombay Dreams from Brent and Tandoori Parlour from Castle Point received a judges commendation but there was, surprisingly, nothing for top restaurant the Aagrah from Shipley, whose owner Mohammed Aslam had lent his skills to support yet another competition. The real winners of the evening were charities Roko Cancer Appeal who received £1500 and TB Alert who received a much needed £500.   top
