Our city has just acquired a Japanese/Thai restaurant. It’s been very busy since day one. It’s to die for.

Ah, fish vindaloo, it is good if the heat is not terrible. The local Indian restaurant changed managment, I wonder if they are any good? I miss that fish vindaloo, the Bengan Bartha, the spinach dish, what’s its name and…

Maybe so on that getting older and losing taste. When I first got to Arizona, I couldn’t even manage mild salsa. When I am eighty, I might be drinking salsa!

Curry – yum. But it doesn’t have to be hot, it’s the subtle blending of all the spices that make a good curry. My favorite ever is my husband’s lamb jalfrezi. Only mild, but the combination of ginger, garlic, cumin, chili and everything else requires a minute’s silence for each eating. Sometimes when it’s too hot you can’t taste all the flavours.

I think Graham must be getting old… As you age you lose your sense of taste and require more and more stimulus to get the brain going.

There are lots of things like that…

This, I presume, was not the Homepride variety, John. On one excursion for an Indian meal I chose vindaloo. Well, I tried to get it down. As the manager removed my still-full plate and brought cold raita to soothe my burning palate, he assured me his family and staff never touched very hot (tasting) curries! His look said it all. I felt very silly, I can tell you…

When I’m in London I love to alternate meals — one night Indian, the next night Chinese, the next night English (i.e., fish & chips in a pub), and then repeat the cycle.

Friends in Birmingham introduced me to Balti and I am eternally grateful.

I have learned how to make a reasonably decent curry at home, but I do love a chance to eat in an Indian restaurant.

Oh, sob! Our one and only, but very excellent, Indian food provider, northern Indian style, just suddenl pullled up stakes and disappeared from one day to the next. And I’ll never forget my embarrassment one night after serving two complete servings of a ’13 boy’ curry to a party of 8 to be forced to admit that there WAS not more. I was highly pleased as well as embarrassed that it was such a great success that I’d run out. I reallythought I’d fixed enough to have leftovers for another meal of it. Thai food is awfully good, too, if you’re lucky enough to have a Thai restaurant. Can you tell I love foods?

Oh my when you come to visit me I will have to hunt for this type of food places. I know they are here but I’d just have to duck out to oriental.

Aha! Good ON you, John. You know how I feel about chili peppers, although I usually lean more in the Thai, Caribbean, Latin American direction than Indian. However, now you’ve inspired me and I’m mulling over assorted recipes for Indian Butter Chicken. Oh my.
