Ozzy Osbourne favored curry as a preferred offstage meal and contributed a chicken curry recipe to a 1988 celebrity recipe collection. The recipe uniquely calls for a blended can of fruit—peaches or pineapple suggested—and dubs the blending step the "Blizzard of Ozz." The ingredients list includes a skinned chicken, a whole jar of curry powder, a vegetable, and four cooking apples that are pan-sautéed and served over rice. Recommended apple varieties include gala, fuji, winesap, or jonagold. Ozzy's Birmingham origins are noted alongside the city's long-established curry scene, including The Darjeeling on Steelhouse Lane.
Ozzy Osbourne famously loved Chipotle - but when the Prince of Darkness was offstage, his favorite meal to chow down on was curry, and it had been for a long time. The tip comes from "Rock 'n' Roll Cuisine," a recipe collection by Robin Le Mesurier and Peggy Sue Honeyman-Scott. Published in 1988, "Rock 'n' Roll Cuisine" includes the handwritten personal recipes of '80s era music stars from Osbourne to Frank Zappa, Mick Jagger, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, The Cure, Paul Stanley, Meatloaf, the B-52's.
Ozzy's contribution to the gastronomic collection is a chicken curry recipe, which (perhaps unsurprisingly) includes a non-traditional ingredient: canned fruit. Not just one specific variety, either. Ozzy's recipe calls for "a can of fruit of your choice," blended. (We affectionately call this blending step the "Blizzard of Ozz.") His recipe suggests peaches or pineapple as possible candidates. An Instagram post by @prospect.la, a culinary arts bookstore in South Pasadena, CA, provides a picture of Ozzy's book page.
