The_Col_G I only ever eat my own pizzas. In other words I don't buy the takeaway ones, nor the frozen supermarket ones. I'll use a ready-made base, but the rest is all mine. Usually, I'll put zucchini, olives, jalapeños, onion, tomato, oregano, salt, and usually top it...

The_Col_G Occasionally. There's usually some in the commercial dog foods - peas, carrots, corn, beans, pasta, rice, etc. He also loves potato crisps, peanuts, corn chips, and just about anything that is fried and (usually) salted and preferably crunchy - I restrict his...

Here in the UK we are fast approaching those days where we get out our Summer clothing and pretend that it is warm enough to wear them. I am the sort of chap that likes to get the air to his feet. I tend to wear sandals from late...

The_Col_G The reason I started wearing sandals in the first place was due to an allergic reaction to a medication - my feet were swollen and red and itchy and I couldn't wear closed shoes (or socks!) even if I'd wanted to. Then, even after the swelling and rash had gone...

The_Col_G I wear sandals all year round - and no socks! But then again, I live in Australia, with much milder winters than the UK has (at the moment, that is - wait till global warming takes that out of the equation!). But I wish I had a dollar for every time someone...

I personally hate maggots. They are disgusting and the sight of them makes my skin crawl. I hate when people fart wherever they please (have some consideration!!!). Lastly, I hate that people have to die (especially when they die...

The_Col_G 1. People who talk on their phones while driving. Come on, people! Exactly which part of "illegal and dangerous" don't you understand? Get off the phone or get off the road! 2 & 3. Same as 1.

I like rice with curries, the Kerala style in India called sadiya. It is tasty as far I am considered. It is given on a banana leaf.

The_Col_G If you can get over the initial 'slimy' texture which puts some people off, okra is great.

What is the best curry you ever had? Either it tasted so good or because it was memorable for some other reason. The best curry I ever had was the one my mother used to make. Sounds corney I know but true all the same. She made it...

The_Col_G If you have any Asian grocers anywhere near you, you can probably find most of the ingredients there. I'm lucky that there are plenty - Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian - near where I work, so I can get them fairly easily. My friend said she saw one of the British...

Alzheimers is a big problem in the world today and I just saw a discussion with a doctor that reports seem to suggest that spicy food could very well be a prevention to Alzheimers. With the huge population of India a study has...

The_Col_G I would like it to be true, but it probably isn't. It's more likely to do with aluminium (aluminum). In India, people tend to cook with iron pots and pans, rather than aluminium ones, and I believe they drink softdrink from bottles more than they do from...

The_Col_G Though I love really hot curries, the best I've ever tasted is a fairly mild South Indian curry called avial (or mixed vegetable kootu). It (usually) contains green (very unripe) bananas, angled loofah (ridge gourd), eggplant (aubergine), yam, snake beans...

Do you open bananas from the sharp end (narrow end, stem end, call it what you will) or from the blunt end (rounded end, thick end, whatever)? If you open it from the blunt end, where are you from? I ask because the only...

The_Col_G Maybe I can start peeling it in the middle, instead of at either end, just to be different from everyone else. LOL.
