    Well, we don't eat them either. ;P But yes, its true that we have the BEST food in the world and its no surprise that you are fascinated about trying it. But, Can you really handle the spicy Indian Food? Especially, my favorite snack, Panipuri[^]

            I agree, Indian food is the best. I was there (Mumbai) and number of times on business and really enjoyed the pure veg restaurants. I like the food very hot and spicy, but most of the places hesitated to give me the spicy dishes since I'm fair skinned. I'm used to eating Israeli cuisine which is influenced by Arabic and Mediterranean cooking, so I get along with spicy just fine. Can't wait to go back again - next time on vacation with my wife. India doesn't just have great food, the people are also wonderful, the country has some spectacular scenery.

                What's wrong with kidney? Especially a nice Steak and Kidney pie. I think I'll go get one just now, as soon as the swollen ball of Pronutro cereal in my stomach dissipates. This stuff has an amazing capacity to absorb milk. You have to either make soup with it, and wait for it to thicken, or race against time before you have to chew it. Then I can only imagine it further absorbs more stomach fluids.

                  But I actually doubt if they do prepare dishes that are of same taste as what is prepared in India. I live in South India and often have north Indian food at restaurants for lunch or dinner. But I have found that the taste of north Indian food that is prepared in the restaurants here is actually of different taste than what is prepared in North India. Yes, it looks same as the North Indian food, but does taste different. I guess its the same with south Indian food that is prepared at restaurants in North India. So, I think you can enjoy the real taste of Indian food only if you try it here in India. :)

                        Thanks :-O Shortly, I will be having lunch and I went out to the dining hall to see what's there for us: Garlic naan, stuffed kulchas, romali roti, and bajra roti. On the curry side, there's baingan bharta, paneer tikka masala, stuffed karela, tawa sabji and bhendi fry. On the rice side, there's this green peas pulav, hyderabadi biriyani, jeera rice and curd rice. To accompany them, there's dal tadkha, black dal fry, navratan kurma and cut mango pickles for the curd rice. We've got ample of tender coconuts, jaljeera and mosambi juice to drink. Not to forget the badami halwa, rabdi and jamoon which ends the meal. There has to be more, but I would rather go there and explore it than typing it here. There's just too much today because it is our manager's birthday. You may google (recipe search and image search) almost all the recipes I said above to see what it looks like. I'm sorry if I've got a craving for something in you now. :->

                          You say south and I assume chennai. For authentic north Indian food, I suggest you try Taj connemara once. We had our last board meeting there and had north Indian thali buffet for lunch and was very satisfying. I am sure there must be north Indian speciality restaurants over there, but I don't know much about chennai.

                                in Manchester is the best for Indian food! I lived near there and when our customers from India visited they reckoned some of it was better than mother made :-D Elaine (gastronomically diverse fluffy tigress) P.S. How is the family doing?

You have the *BEST* food!:rose: I think I could live the rest of my life happily on Indian and Thai food but if it was just Indian food only I'd die a happy man. So... who's taking me to India?:->

                                    If I had to pick any one nations food to eat for the rest of my life it would be Japanese. I spent a few weeks there a while ago now and never felt so good inside. And I really like it. That said I like most every style of food.:-D

                                      I love Dosa and Idly.. and I would prefer food from home rather than having it from hotels. They will mess up everything. And I don't understand what is so great about Indian food. I started getting bored with these foods. Now a days I just make a toss and order the item rather than going by taste.

                                          Well, we don't eat them either. ;P But yes, its true that we have the BEST food in the world and its no surprise that you are fascinated about trying it. But, Can you really handle the spicy Indian Food? Especially, my favorite snack, Panipuri[^]

                                          Actually, goat brain is considered a delicacy in Kerala (my state). It's one of my personal favorites too - though you can't eat too much of it as it gets all gooey once it gets cold. I also believe that Chicken kidneys are not thrown away in mallu chicken dishes. But yeah, I've never know anyone eat a lung! I wonder what those would taste like.
