Nope, that was CyberMan.

Until a bit ago we fed our cows sheep brains - did it stop you eating steak?

Tonyindian has a nice ring to it.

I went to Goa in the 80s when it was kicking off as a tourist destination, looking forward to the fabled pork vindaloo. Next day I wandered through a local village and saw what the pigs ate...never again. Switched to vegetarian food on that holiday (pumpkin curry etc.). Oh, and tandoori lobster.

Also, the vindaloo was brought to India by the Portuguese when they settled in the Goa area. Pork vindaloos you get near Goa is gorgeous - but you dont see this here because the Bangladeshi restaurateurs here are Muslim and so its against their religion.

Well you're right I guess. I was thinking about all the free curry I missed out on as a kid by not being Indian.

I feel that I missed out too. I was taken of breast milk at an early age and I have tried to make up for it ever since.

My all time favourite Indian dish - marinated fish wrapped in banana leaf and steamed.

What I heard.

Most of you may already know ... waffle blah blah

... mmmmmm Indian food - the South Indian Dosa is mmmmmm ...
tandoori chicken ....

Also vindaloo, Pork vindaloos, something about religion.

.... Ham.

I am sooooo shallow.

Bhajee anyone?

[Naaarwich]

Most of you may already know this but around 95% of 'Indian' restaurants are run by Bangladeshis - and even then from a particular region of Bangladesh.

There is no uniform Indian food - the South Indian Dosa is alien to the north Indians as is the tandoori chicken in the South. Similarly with western and eastern regions of India.

Also, the vindaloo was brought to India by the Portuguese when they settled in the Goa area. Pork vindaloos you get near Goa is gorgeous - but you dont see this here because the Bangladeshi restaurateurs here are Muslim and so its against their religion.

There are some genuine Indian places like Quilon in London and also several places in Southall and East Ham.

Go work in India for a month.

You could easily eat curry 3 times a day, every day, for 28 days.

Come back crapping through the eye of a needle...

FTFY!
