Some of the best chicken I've ever eaten is Indian. Curried chicken is delicious, and perhaps Laddu for dessert. The vegetarian dishes are great, but Indians cook meat very well. And we are used to eating meat in the west.

Oh BTW ken...read my whole post... Wink Oh and let me know if you'd like me to mail you up some Aqua Velva, Some Irish Springs, and some Right Guard...I'm sure you can use some. LOL...and who knows maybe a women from India might find you irresistable! Or if you prefer women closer to the bus...maybe one of the Inuit villages will have a lady friend available to keep you warm this summer Wink you! If you don't want me to mail you the goods...Maybe your next door neigbor Kris Kringle or Father Frost will put these items in your stocking this year. Although was them before you hang them up...I'm sure they stink too.


I'll have you know, I smell like roses, even when I crap. Laughing Besides, how do you know how I smell? You have been rubbing your nose on my windows, again? Laughing


I don't...that's why I asked you if you'd like me to send you these personal items. Anyways I too like India food...and have met some wonderful people from India. India is a advancing country for sure and will continue to be a key player in that region of the world...especially with the fight on Radical Islam

I treat everybody as my friend so i used to forgive them on self.

Laddu is a sweet made primary from sugar and something that looks like corn. Even i like it. Especially all south INDIAn food and sweets are good.

Even my US friends gave a good feedback about "SARAVANA BHAVAN" did anybody tried that. Also same as Gandhi Cuisine.

The patent idiocy of the statement "most of them are all Jews" aside, can you support this? Even when you aren't able to do that, I'd still be curious as to what you are trying to suggest.

Evidently, I know more about how your executive branch is set up than you do. Of all the positions you listed, only 4 are cabinet posts. (I'll leave it as a learning exercise for you to figure out which ones - hint: they are near the top of the list). Let's see, 4 out of 15 (cabinet posts), is that "all", or even "most"? I guess you are mathematically challenged also.

You should stay away from those right-wing conspiracy/anti-Semetic web sites you love to quote.

And for Russki, no I'm not Jewish, but I am offended by anti-Semitism just as I'm offended by lots of "anti-"s What offends me even more is how ignorant most anti-Semites are. I give surfguy the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is just sorrowfully ignorant.

I'll ask surfguy again: what is the point of this? You do have Jews in America, don't you? Aren't they allowed to serve in government posts? Why does this bother you?

Crabman...I stated an observation...and how can I be anti semetic...when I am a semite...just doesn't makes sense.

Also Crabman...you will receive a good lesson on US Presidential Cabinets:

There is not set number of "Cabinet Posts" The President Deems what he thinks is necessary...Thus Bush appointing a "Home Land Security Secretary. Also the Prominent Top four posts are the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury, and the Attorney General...these are the Cabinet! But Clinton had chosen a whole list of others. It is interesting...that is my point.
And nothing more.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cabinet

If you took offense...then good...I suggest then that you take up arms against the radical muslim jihadist...for the list I posted was from one of thier sites as to the reasons for thier continual attacks on the USA. See they hate America because in thier minds we are run by the jews!!

Pretty sick huh...the anti semetic views out there in the world...

There is an Indian bread I really like, although I'm not too sure of the name...Tandoori maybe (I may have made that word up:)

I also like the Mango yogurt drinks they serve, but that's about all my body can handle of Indian food. I don't fare well with curry.

Tandoor is the name of the oven that the bread is cooked in. Was the bread Naan, or Kulcha? Also there are " Samosas" They are deep fried treats. Chapatis are still my favourite. A couple years ago, I had an East Indian partner, in a construction business, and his wife used to bring us lunch she had cooked fresh literally minutes earlier.
There are quite a few Indian dishes that don't use curry, but I agree, it is a strong seasoning. Actually, Curry just means gravy in India. BS can correct me, if I'm wrong.

Tandoori is also a variety, if you look at the menu card it will be generally classified like this
# South INDIAN - Idly, dosa, chapathy, Poori, meals
# Chinese - I didn't tried
# CHAT - Bhel poori, Pani poori, masal poori, dahi poori
# Tandoori - Naan, Gobi manchurian - (side dish - any gravy)
# Hot savouries - Samosa, bonda, cutlet, etc.,

except chinese, All above are vegetarian. Kurry and gravy are different

Kurry - its in several forms - vegetables + cooking oil + salt+pepper+etc., finally baked - dried form

Gravy - can be same as above + its in liquid form + rich in chillies
kurry is the vegetable in fried form looks dry with traces of oil. In south INDIA its used as a side dish to meals.

Yogurt, i heard it abroad, its a form of toned curd. In india particularly we use cows milk converted to curd.

Generally south INDIAn foods are less in chillies and somewhat good to health. but where as North INDiAn foods are too much uttered with chillies and pickles that makes one obese and rich calories and health wise generally leads to high BP & diabetes.

South INDIAn sweets are extremely good. One can enjoy it by tasting it. but they are rich in sugar and ghee.

I don't know if he would like it, but I know that Georgian food is delicious!
Scroll down on this website and you can get a look of their dishes. I'm sure Stalin preferred his Georgian food over Russian.
