Yesterday's disasters

[lihpster]

When I was 19 me and 2 buddies went to Canada for a 3 day weekend to drink ourselves silly. We were making a pretty good job of it, too. One night, I forget which, my buddy decided he wanted Indian food for dinner. I'd never had Indian food before, so I was excited to try something new. That is, until the plate got there. For some reason, they had a light with a red bulb in it right over the table. There was saffron rice, glowing orange. Right next to it was what appeared to be a pile of vomit, tinged with blood. My stomach and bowels told me in no uncertain terms what would occur if I ate that mess. Instead, I had them stop at McDonald's so I could get a couple of burgers and some fries as a bed for the alcohol. Still haven't tried Indian food and still not sure I want to.

Last time I had Indian food, I almost got scalped.

My only experience with Indian food:

As a child, my parents took me on a trip out west in the mid-50s. We stopped at a roadside attraction where there was an old Indian chief. He supposedly had a perfect memory and could recall any experience from his past. I asked the chief what he had for breakfast on February 6, 1927. "Eggs" was his only reply.

Years later, I remembered how much I enjoyed that trip, and I decided to take my family on a similar adventure. As we drove down a lonely two- lane highway, I was surprised to see that same roadside attraction with the now really old Indian chief. With my family in tow, I walked up to the chief, raised my right hand in greeting, and said "How".

"Fried", replied the Chief.

Raw peanuts are an aquired taste

In 1977 at Texas A&M had a guy floor beneath us whos Dad was a goober farmer. On winter break visited the farm, shot a limit of doves on one hunt and an 11 point buck on another that were feasting on the nuts.

Brought 2 burlap sacks of green peanuts to our dorm (Hart Hall) built in the 20's. Ate some of the peanuts green, were not a bad taste but does the same thing to the alimentary canal that Indian foods do. Then, since my room faced
west we spread the rest of the bags out on my floor to roast in the afternoon sun through the window. Shared nuts with entire dorm, about 120 rooms and it still took most of the spring semester to finish them off. Those burlap bags weighed about 80 lbs. each, so there was a good supply.

My nephew married a woman whose parents were born in India.
Before the wedding they had the whole clan come here and threw a party to let the families meet etc.
They had bowls of brown goo, yellow goo and some kind of big chips.
My stomach can be kinda of fussy so I just had hot dogs and burgers

Indian food is fine, on occasion. Never had any explosive experiences, even when working in India. However, I believe on the fourth day, when god created the peanut, he intended for it to be roasted.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I like Hot Spicy food and that includes Indian.
But my go to is Thai.
The standard Thai dish made on every street corner is -
Cow Pot. Not exactly correct pronunciation , but they'll know what you want!
It's often pretty hot, had some one time on a train which burned me down!
Fav Thai Dish? Red Curry!

Khao pad (pronounced "kow pat") literally means "stir-fried rice". This simple rice dish usually contains garlic, egg, a salty element – often fish sauce, soy sauce and/or oyster sauce – and spring onion. Sugar, chilli and lime juice balance the flavours: sweet, salty, sour and spicy.
Ingredients vary, they use whatever is available.
But it's all fresh! Ain't a can to be seen.

Back in the days as a rookie cop, assigned to a footbeat, my fellow officers friends took the new kid (me) to dinner before our shift. Dinner at an India restaurant. Midnight shift! cruel, Cruel, cruel.

Back in my "youth" I worked for Ilford Ltd (think UK Kodak) and being very close to London, I foolishly accepted a bet to eat a Bangalore Phaal dish at an Indian restaurant in Leicester Square. Think lamb marinated in red peppers (not the vicious Thai variety but close enough). All was well until I got back to my flat in Ilford. Talk about a method of "cleaning the pipes!!" Not a happy camper for a few days..then I learned to east it with yogurt alongside. Works well. Dave_n

IIRC had East Indian food one time years ago in or around Chicago. Best Greek food was in a old place on Halstead up near Sears tower.
Wife won't eat much " furrin food" , only some Chinese so we don't go to " furrin" restaurants.

I, me mum, Ruthie, my children and three of my grandchildren enjoy Indian cuisine and have it often.

Most of the dishes we eat in this country originated somewhere else.

I would hate to go through life ordering from a one page menu.

 

[smoothshooter]

I had a boiled peanut and Indian cuisine for dinner.

Never again for either of those selections!

I could go a lot of days without food before eating something as putrid as curry.
Never tried it, but the smell alone makes me nauseous.

I could get by nicely with a two-page menu . . . .

Drop me in any country and I will discover plenty that is palatable to me.

I am epicurious.

 

[Rustyt1953]

If you don't want to advertise your fondness for Indian cuisine order the concealed curry.




Heading to my room, now.

Am liking curry, and spicy peanut soup. Really like curry when there is stewed lamb/veggies/couscous involved, but am drifting internationally.

 

[Rustyt1953]
