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...

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...

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.

The_Col_G LOL. Good point! I've never felt the inclination to eat the skin either.:o)

The_Col_G Thanks Hatley. There's certainly no doubting the nutritious content of bananas. Ok, so it was a fairly silly question, but it has intrigued me for a few years now, ever since I first saw a colleague open a banana from the blunt end. It had never occurred to me...

The_Col_G I tried it today from the blunt end, and I have to tell you, I still got all the stringy pieces. So much for "String Theory"! LOL It's back to doing it the "normal" way from now on.

The_Col_G India too? I'm surprised. As I said above, I'll give it a try if I ever remember to. Thanks for your answer.

The_Col_G Thanks for that. I'll give it a try, if I ever remember to. LOL Then I'll probably just go straight back to doing it the normal way.

Vegetables are very important in our diet. If you look at the modern food chart, you can readily see that this item is at the bottom of the triangle. This means that you can eat all the vegetables you desire without jeopardizing...

The_Col_G There are also strict vegetarians, who eat very much the same as vegans, but vegans go one step further by not using any products derived from animals (for instance, no animal-based soaps or cosmetics, no wool, leather, suede, sheepskin, etc.) - most will not...

The_Col_G I really cannot agree with you on that, Erica. D'Adamo & Whitney (Eat right for your type : complete blood type encyclopedia) almost exclusively give "beneficial" or "neutral" to the different varieties of animal flesh for bloodgroup O and nearly all...
