What is curried tapenade?
I have just watched the A-Team film and B.A. seems to have an obsession with something called Curried Tapenade? My experience of Tapenade is that it's a Olive based dish and making a curried version sounds horrible. Does anyone who what Curried Tapenade actually is?
Best Answer
It is a joke. Coconut curry tapenade with toast points is ridiculous to begin with, and it is intended to be funny that a big burly man craves something that is supposed to sound dainty? or elegant?
I'm sure you can quite possibly make a dish and call it this. However, I can't imagine olives, coconut milk, and curry tasting very good.

Answer 3
The origin of the word curry basically meant a sauce meant for service of rice. The bastardized english variant generally means smothering meat and rice in a sauce made from curry powder.
A tapenade is a seasoned paste of olives, capers, and anchovies.
So it could be simply tapenade that has been adjusted in texture and intensity to be used over rice, or it could mean that it is tapenade with curry powder added. Or it could just be a fancy name of a dish that the screenwriter thought would impress the movie audience.

Murdock was also known for mixing ingredients, such as the Anti-freeze marinade with gun powder seasoning for steaks, so chances are it's something odd that he came up with and BA happens to love. BA also likes his steaks "burnt, like it was damned" so maybe their tastes are strange but similar.
