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...

Sandals. Are socks cool?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 7 Apr 08

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 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...

What are 3 things you absolutely HAAAAATE? They can be anything.

MisChasi @MisChasi (77) • Philippines 5 Jan 08

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.

Alzheimers and spicy foods

lilaclady @lilaclady (28207) • Australia 18 Feb 08

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...

Which Indian food is more liked by you

CSHINE @SHAMRACK (8576) • India 21 Aug 07

What is the best curry you ever had?

Norfolk_Jim @Norfolk_Jim (214) 8 Mar 08

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 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...

Becoming a Vegetarian

Eiregirl2017 @Eiregirl2017 (75) • United States 21 Feb 08

After researching the appalling conditions inflicted upon chickens, pigs, cattle and even laying hens and dairy cows, I have decided to go vegetarian...possibly vegan. I have found a small dairy and egg supplier that treats its...

The_Col_G Do as much research as you can on nutrition. Learn what nutrients your body needs, and the best sources of those nutrients. Especially protein and iron and B12, so that when a non-vegetarian asks you that tired old question "but what do you do for protein?"...

The_Col_G I normally only use the microwave oven for defrosting and heating up food. I've cooked with it a couple of times, but many years ago. I think the last time was the popcorn in a bag, if you can call that cooking. Now I usually just make popcorn on the stove in...

Do you like to eat vegetables?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 4 Apr 07

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...

Restaurants that aren't Vegetarian-Friendly

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 17 Jan 08

I've been a vegetarian since I was about 17, although at one point I tried eating meat and it made me sick. Essentially I've lived 7 years meat-free. I find it disheartening to go to a restaurant only to find their only...

The_Col_G I'm with you on that one, B. Mostly if I have to go, or want to go, to a restaurant, I'll go to an Indian one because there are always plenty of vegetarian dishes there (might be a problem if you can't eat spicy food though). Other alternatives are Turkish...

The_Col_G I like it. I don't drink it very often though, and I haven't had any for years. I feel like drinking some now ... perhaps with a little vodka in it. mmmmmmmm!
