Regular readers will remember the story of Raj Miah, the Brookmans Park chef who took a curry more than 9,000 miles to Australia for a group of England cricket fans watching the Ashes last December.
Raj, who runs the Bengal Paradise restaurant, in Great North Road, near Potters Bar, has been called into action again. On Monday, he flew to Bridgetown in Barbados, with a feast for a group of Bangladesh fans enjoying the cricket World Cup in the Caribbean.
He was asked to make the special delivery by Captain Romel Olad, who worked as a helicopter pilot for former Bangladesh president Hossain Mohammad Ershad and saw the story of Raj's Ashes mission in a Bangladeshi newspaper.
When planning a special dinner in honour of the country's cricketers, who created one of the biggest shocks of the tournament by knocking out India to qualify for the Super Eight stage, Capt Olad knew who he wanted to do the catering.
Placing his order by fax, he wrote: "My friends and I are not too keen on the choice of foods available here. In Bangladesh you Raj have become a hero and a must-have status symbol. I want to be the first Bangladeshi to order the famous food. I would be honoured to have you impress my guests with your culinary skills."
Before jetting off to Barbados, Raj told Between the Lines: "Captain Olad knows most of the team and is laying on a banquet for them.
"We are taking mostly fish and a few curries like potato spinach. I have not been to the West Indies before and I'm looking forward to it."
He is likely to rack up more air miles in the coming months as his next planned trip is to Dubai, where he will feed singer and Celebrity Big Brother contestant Jermaine Jackson. The Grammy award-winning brother of Michael Jackson ate at the Bengal Paradise on a recent trip to Britain, and was so impressed he commissioned Raj to nip over to the Emirates with a take-away.
