India's Poor Urged to 'Eat Rats'

[HAL 9000 96]

All I can say is that Devon Ave here in Chicago boasts an Indian, Pakistani, and Afghani community nicely integrated. Food options abound and as far as I know there is very little tension spilt over from the home territories' old conflicts.

#6 probably a good idea you never travel to those areas.

Yeap that's how it is in NJ too.

But from everything I hear from desis who have escaped the UK and moved to the US -- not the case there.

Which has everything to do with who immigrated there, when and how.

Yer bein' baited.

You're apparently a smart guy. I am sure you can put it together.

Yeah this jerk joker doesn't really do anything else does he.

But I tell you man - I sure won't be visiting Brick Lane next time I fly back to the UK. Aside from the excellent food - I'd be paranoid about bumping into a dynamite-vest atired alumni of the Finsbury Park Mosque (trifling religious differences aside they all hang out there don't they), or having my Chicken Madras dosed with rat poison or strychnine by a hook-handed, one-eyed chef.

Because that totally would happen

I'll have to remind my boss. He leaves for the UK tomorrow.

I don't know, I have some wonderful friends in the UK who are of Indian decent and yes, their command of the vegetarian kitchen is indeed kickass!

Splendid governess. Shall we have another cup of tea..

Was there a point here or was it just some stupidity that seemed clever when you wrote it?

I still haven't been to any indian restaurants in NJ outside of that Raagini place on Route 22 (the dinner menu is extremely pricey) and a small place off one of the main avenues in Manhattan.

Indian/Pakistani food is the equivalent of Mexican food in the UK. There are restaurants all over the place.

I like Mexican BTW... but it just doesn't do it for me the way a good curry could.

Unlike yourself of course. Who apparently always sticks to discussing the thread and never rebuts anybody else's post and views.

I doubt you'll find a UK-style Indian joint around here.

The Indian food in the greater NYC area tends to be more authentic. I've been told that in the UK it's changed a lot over the last few decades, since the "Indian experience" there is much older.

About the same point you make in 99% of your posts. Shall we play the post examples game?

Ok this thread is being Boo Yah'd. Time to abandon ship.

I heard the Indian food in the UK has gotten a lot fattier over the years. Maybe its from seeing that show You are what you eat. The curries I've had here in Chicago are amazing and don't make me feel like a bloated sack of gas.
