Poppadom on Top of Them   Poppadom Express, Indian Restaurant in Southampton, created a static tower of 230 poppadoms smashing the previous Poppadom Tower world record of 160 created in 2006. Restaurant owner Aazaz Khan said "we are delighted that the Daily Echo was with us to witness our triumph. Our team of chefs and staff competing with each other to create this tower were Dharam Singh, Mallick Khan, Pramod Kumar,Shiraz Khan, Istihak Ahmed." This competition is part of a drive to help raise much-needed funds for the world's poor and hungry in a fun, positive way with 'National Curry Week & National Eating-Out Week 2007.' Many restaurants across the country took part in a week of fundraising to help Oxfam tackle poverty and suffering across South Asia. 23 million adult diners who enjoy eating out in Britain each year are being targeted. National Eating-out Week took place from 21-27 October in 2007 with all proceeds going to Oxfam. It operated in tandem with National Curry Week and enables non-curry restaurants to join in the fun and fund raising. The basic idea for fund raising was simply to ask diners during Curry Week to ask for £1 per diner, which will go direct to Oxfam. Aazaz Khan, said "23 million of us eat out each year in the UK - the poor and malnourished do not. We will match every £1 donated by our customers in this effort to redress the balance."
