Do you talk/write in the accent of your SO?

Don't forget the sausages to go.

Oh my, peshwari naan bread. I LOVE those. I could do with some butter chicken right now too.

No one here ever wants to go to have Indian with me

I hear the Indian food in the UK is very Punjabi/Kashmiri in style. Out here the Indian diaspora of an entirely different ethnic stock, so that could be why.

When hubster came here and we hit our Indian community to sample all of the restaurants, he found them of course different from the UK versions. But when we went to India he found that our Indian community restaurants were much closer to India Indian food than what he'd grown up with in the UK. He says they make 'em a lot hotter in the UK for folks wanting to prove how hard they are... I can eat the hottest thing on the menu, me!

Oh you have my admiration. I could never eat stuff that hot, don't actually think I'd want to either, to be honest. But you still have my admiration, you must have taste buds made of asbestos!

Interesting. Which part of India, weren't you guys in Agra?

We went from Agra, to Jaipur and other parts of Rajasthan, to Mumbai, to Goa

Eric, start a thread and explain your obsession to us.

I've heard that. I've also heard that the British variant (as it were) is a bit different from the traditional version so its hard to find food that tastes the same. I've tried a few - some have come close, but still different.

We went to Curry in a Hurry in NYC last weekend - cheap, and they gave you a lot of food - but still.... no cigar...

Right so you didn't go anywhere near Punjab/Kashmir, which is (i believe) the largest ethnic component in UK indians... that may explain the difference? Or could be that you ate out at touristy places and they made food special for goras

I like the chicken kababs at the Kabab and Curry express in Edison. That's a bit of a drive for you though.

heh...no that wasn't me saying that... oooops! That was hubster saying what other Brits say... hee

I don't have quite that tolerance, nor do I want it either. Lots of flavor (or spice) dosn't equal lots of hotness to me. I love the way Indian food blends loads of spices.

[Fandango 1,440]

I LOVE hot and spicy food! But just the other day, I had some pickled cherry peppers on a roast beef sammich that is still making my stomach burn today

I ate the jalapeno they put on the side at a Mexican place, supposedly authentic, a few days ago. The next morning my a-hole was a fire breathing dragon.

I don't write in an accent though, nor do I know anyone who does. I'd say that's pretty rare outside of Irvine Welsh novels

I don't understand why anyone would want to do that aside from drawing attention to themselves.

You do know you're baiting, right?

Perhaps in Agra and Mumbai, but I'd have to say no to that in Jaipur and definitely not in Goa. We didn't stay in the 4 star touristy hotel section of Goa at all.

Well - for now I'll just have to make do with Jose Tejas as a substitute for Indian food.
