I traveled to India for a wedding about 8 years ago, and the Hindus (Hare Krishnas, actually) in the area were all vegetarians (along with other diet restrictions). No meat for 9 days. The Muslim locals ate meat, but most Westerners who come to that area belong to the Hare Krishna religion, so they wouldn't sell me any.

After the wedding, I took a plane from Calcutta to Delhi, the stewardess was offering veg or non-veg breakfast. I signed up for non-veg (yay!) and got the spiciest scrambled eggs ever. To me, they were inedible. Finally, I had 5 days or so in Delhi where I could indulge myself.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

I'm making gyros. I can't explain how much I miss American versions of, well, everything. nossy - 26/04/2017 07:49:16 PM 1245 Views

Aren't gyros incredibly popular over there under the name doner kebab? *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 06:41:23 AM 486 Views
Spicing isn't the same. At all. Otherwise, I'd be unstoppable. nossy - 27/04/2017 09:05:20 AM 877 Views
Oh. See, I get gyros for the grease, the umami, and the tzatziki. The spices are secondary. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/04/2017 09:35:36 AM 503 Views
You'll say that until they are wrong. *NM* nossy - 27/04/2017 11:29:25 AM 569 Views
