Hey, it could be worse: at least curry tastes nice 
There are much worse "ethnic" foods out there 
There is this old Indian (from India) couple living two floors below me and every other day they are cooking up a toxic cloud of curry fumes that permeates the entire building.
Some mornings I wake up choking on the stuff, other times I can't go to sleep at night because the fumes are so strong. Curry for breakfast or a late night snack, how bizzare is that?
Why should I be have to smell that crap while sitting in the privacy of my own apartment? And how does the stench come through floors and walls anyway? Its like Quantum Tunneling stink particles or something.
Well, off to the super Walmart to get another case of air freshener....

me, being srilankan, eat curry every day!!! Sure, i does have a smell but i love it! I will never stop eating my curry!

.oO(what the hell is curry?)
Curry is a type of foodstuff, generally, um, indian? It's good. But kinda an acquired taste, I think. And can be spicy.
]]>In a similar situation, when I was really young I happened to have next door neighbors who weren't Indian, but they lived in India for quite some time. They loved to make curried... anything - mostly rice. Needless to say, our family got invited over there quite often, and so developed that "aquired" taste very early on. I really like curried things, like chicken, rice, shrimp, whatever. I don't care for curried beef though.
]]>Because of Britain's Colonial links you'll find very many people who emigrated from India to Britain (and their children/grandchildren). This also means very many indian restaurants!
I have to say chicken korma is my favourite curry, as some of the others are too hot for me.
Actually there is a wide and diverse range of food restaurants in Britain now. So although we still aren't great at cooking, we do have great places to eat out!
Just for fun I made a quick list of some of the different countries restaurants I have seen in Nottingham, UK. (Where I live)
Indian
Italian
Spanish
French
Chinese
Mexican
Jamican
Iranian
Japanese
Turkish
Greek
Thai
Egyptian
American
Cantonese
Then I got stuck..

hmmm The food court at every mall I've been too.. except egyptian..
]]>at least your neighbors don't have an account
at the local animal shelter...
my code who in their right minds would eat a Golden
Retriver
Not at a food court in a mall..
in restaurants!
I'm not saying other countries don't have all these foods or restaurants too. Just saying what foods I can remember seeing in Nottingham.
I've heard that dog tastes a lot like chicken (everything does) I would like to try it once... think I have to go to Korea or China to do it though, since there's so many people who get upset if someone just mentions it around here
So phate, I guess I'm one of those who would eat a Golden Retriever (I wouldn't eat my own dog if I had one, but dogs in general I don't mind).
Uh oh, I think I may just have turned this thread to another topic just now...
]]>mmmm me wants more curry! Well we south asians never denied the fact that our cooking might smell bad to some ppl, but we jstu love it
]]>I hate kemshee (sp?)too.
I'd probably eat dog. Dog chili would probably be alright.
In Guatamala they eat Iguana.
EDIT:
Well we south asians never denied the fact that our cooking might smell bad to some ppl, but we jstu love it
What kind of name is Yves M anyway? I figured you were from Bulgaria or Uzbekistan or something.... Is it Samoan?

ROFLMAO;D actually taht did make me smile cuz u definatly got it wrong

"Yves" == French name, i was born in France
"M" == Srilankan last name, Sri Lanka is that little island right under India
I bet i have the longest last name in this entire forum!8-)
[edit]There are peace talks, i've been looking forward to peace ever since i was born, its good to know my people will be coming to terms with the singhala (sp?) ppl and vice versa[/edit]

]]>[idiot]EATING DOGS!?!?!? OMG THAT IS SO GROSS YOU SICK SICK OMG THAT IS SO GROSS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?[/idiot];)
Guess I can see eating pretty much any type of meat except human ... but living in close quarters with specific animals will kinda make them harder to eat ... I don't think I'd personally be able to eat dogs unless I was in a weird mood or didn't know it was dog meat.

Curry is basically gravy that comes with the food. Here in Indian be it any part of it I think curry is almost an integral part of our daily food, though it neednot be very spicy all the time. It can pretty thin or thick depending upon preparation.
It is called with different names in different parts of India.
Rasa in Maharastra(WEST)
Jhol in Bengal (EAST)
Curry in South etc etc.
I think Pradeepto Bhattacharya would beat you in a name length competition
Cool.I'm dumb!..I always had one of the longest name among my peers.
Actually my full name is Pradeepto Kumar Bhattacharya
But there are places in India where ppl have really really long names.
V.V.S LAXMAN = Vangipurapu Venkata Sai Laxman
P.T. USHA = Piluvulakandi Thekepadambil Usha
etc etc..
Those are not made up names , actual ones, they are/were leading sports personalities in India.Anybody following cricket I think woll know abt VVS LAXMAN.

Yves,
I have a good friend who is Sri Lankian, she studied here for a number of years and her english is perfect with no trace of accent. Her name is Kuntavie Nagendra. I believe her family live near Tamil.
This town of mine (a real metropolis) has only one kebab place and a turkish pizzeria.
I looove jalapenos... 
Zaphos:
On the subject of eating human meat, read this Slashdot comment. Really interesting question
(I quote the post here to save you some time)
With announcements of progress is lab grown meat [slashdot.org] it was suggested that we may be able to eventually eat meat without harming animals. A bit more thought suggests that one could eat human flesh without harming a person.
Thinking about this, I asked my friends, if you could clone human muscle tissue in the absence of any other organs, would it be ethical to eat? What if the muscle tissue in question was your own? (Mmmmm, tasty me...) I can't see any problems with it, but my friends were immediately repulsed and insisted that it was fundamentally wrong. So, what so Slashdotters think? If it's wrong, why is it wrong?
So what do y'all say? Wrong or not?
----
w00t, I've finally made it into someone's sig
I believe her family live near Tamil.
I'm dumb! 
actually, the Tamil are my people, not a place!
Sorry.. I thought that tamil was a city? (As well as a language)
well, tamil is a language, but far from being a city!8-)
]]>Gnolam: if you can clone stuff for meat why would you clone humans? Wouldn't it make more sense to grow pigs meat in a lab or something like that?
on topic: Curry be very very good. Me like curry very very much.
]]>It's a thought experiment
Oh, right...
But why would you even begin to think about something like that? I must say I would go with those friends of his who say it would be fundamentally wrong.
]]>Sure, I'd probably eat human grown in a lab, human chili would probably be pretty good. Some people have a habit of chewing their lip or biting their nails, so whats the big dif? But you know if that ever happened there would be some connisseur willing to pay big money for some "Free Range" human.
I read somewhere or heard that cannibals say pork taste the most like human.
]]>From curry (now apparently the favorite food in the UK:o) to cloning human for food. This forum just got very scary:-/
]]>
I thought that tamil was a city?
Tamilnadu is a state in India, where basically Tamilians origin.
Chennai is the capital of Tamilnadu.
And yes Sri Lanka has a large very large population of Tamilians along with Sinhalese,Buddhists.
Wot say Yves??

Pradeepto
Go, Pradeepto, Go! 
We will take over this thread, I tell you, we will take over!
arrrgh ... .must ..eat ... flesh ... human ... arrrrgh....
]]>I'm from India, and NOT a Tamilian. But Curry is a pretty common dish around here. The smells are dependent on the ingredients used to make it. Fish Curry is always going to stink to high heavens, but Potato Curry won't. I love to read these kinda threads.
Miran needs a Veggie Burger!
hmmmmm...me is going to have more chicken curry tonight! yum!8-)
]]>Heh, manbeef.com was not a pornographic site (when the link worked, which was a long time ago) ... it was a website claiming to sell human flesh. It didn't actually (that's against FDA standards!), but featured no disclaimer that the site was fake ... in essence it was a overdone gag site designed to cause trouble.
This link might give you the actual pages:

Anyway, about the clones thing, that's an interesting point. I guess I'd agree .. but the one guy in that thread had a point: wouldn't that cause mad cow disease?
]]>You won't get Mad Cow Disease/Scrapie/Creutzfeld-Jacobs/Kuru (the cannibals' disease)/etc from eating your own cloned meat - the only way for that meat to contain pathogenic prions would be if you already had the disease to begin with... so in fact eating yourself is probably safer than buying beef
(besides, you know that you've been raised and slaughtered under humane conditions )
I wouldn't risk it then. I think the wife is one mad cow in the family too many already 
I really hope she doesn't have any internet access or you could be in trouble
My real name==Rói Arthur á Bøgarði Højgaard
Damn! Beaten by one(1)!:P
]]>Argh but you see, my guess is that mad cow disease started out as a minimal disease, if at all... perhaps just a small genetic abnormality or something ¦Þ But over time, it developed into what we now know and love
Damn! Beaten by one(1)!
Phew...that was close..photo finish I must say.;D

Nope. It's broken.

geez.. these thread grow fast.. gotta catch them while they're young
I use to have a neighbour who was italian.. and his whole house smelled like garlic..
dog tastes a lot like chicken (everything does)
So.. what does chicken taste like? Or.. could it be that everything doesn't taste like chicken.. it's just that chicken tastes like everything? Gah!
Ok.. that was just too silly to even be funny
Please let this thing die!
]]>This could still be funny for a bit longer...
Watch:
Lemma: All chickens taste the same (by induction).
Proof: It's obvious that one chicken tastes the same. Let us assume th proposition P(k) that k chickens taste the same & how this is to imply that k + 1 chickens taste the same.
Given the st k + 1, we remove 1 chicken; the remaining k chickens all taste the same, by hypothesis. We remove another chicken & replace the first; the k chickens, by hypothesis, are again the same flavour. We repeat this, until (by exhaustion) the k + 1 sets of k chickens have been shown to taste the same.
It follows then that since every chicken is the same flavour as every other chicken, P(k) entails P(k + 1). But since we have shown P(1) to be true, P is true for all succeding values of k; ie all chickens taste the same.
Corollary I: Everything tastes the same.
Proof: The proof of the above lemma does not depend on the nature of the object under consideration. The precedate of the antecedant of the universally-quantified conditional For all x, if x is a chicken, then x all taste the same., namely is a chicken may be generalised to is anything without affecting the validity of the proof. Hence, For all x, if x is anything, x all taste the same.
(Incedentally, x all taste the same even if x isn't anything. I'll leave the proof to you.)
Corollary II: Everything tastes of chicken.
Proof: If a sential formula in x is logically true, then any particular substitution instance of it is a true statement. In particular, then For all x, if x is a dog, then x all taste the same. is true. Now it is manifestly axiomatic that an amount of dogs greater than 0 taste of chicken. (For proof by blatant assertion, consult Gnolam.) Therefore, by corollary I, everything tastes of chicken.
Q.E.D.
Spot the glaring hole in that logic, and win a mstery prize! (It'll taste of chicken, of course. )
