Yeah, I just realised "like" is superfluous there and that spoils the clue.
― Domnesty International (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 24 December 2009 12:54 (sixteen years ago)
I didn't think so, it might make you think "sound like" which is nicely ambiguous rather than "cattle sound", the "like" being that it is like putting L next to owing. Or something. It worked for me anyway.

although to be very picky, curry is not a spice! (spent ages going through the spices i know so i'm terribly bitter tbh)
aha; i looked on oed and found 'to give (a person) curry: Austral. slang. To abuse, reprove, express anger at a person.', which confused me.
― CATBEAST 7777 (ledge), Friday, 8 January 2010 15:21 (sixteen years ago)
australians do not like curry; disgusting savages,

Had got "ur" but was trying to make it e.g. "gourd" like something to do with "oh god", which was clearly not right on at least two levels

Whine about original preparation of meat, fish, fruit, or vegetables, cooked with a quantity of bruised spices and turmeric, and used as a relish or flavouring, esp. for dishes composed of or served with rice.
