ha ha ha Dimple, that is exactly what I was thinking, how come she has not responded to my comment about predictability .... LOL!! You have a good weekend too. I might be going to Kathmandu Spice this weekend. Your comments about OM have been etched in my memory - I don't think I can go there again without thinking about this thread .. he he he :) This from Wikipedia: Vindaloo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vindaloois a popular Indian dish. It was first brought to Goa by the Portuguese and soon became a pleasing Goan meal often served during very special occasions. Historically this was a pork dish cooked with plenty of wine vinegar and garlic, known as "Vinha d'Alho", however it soon received the Goan treatment of adding plentiful amounts of spice and chili. Restaurants often serve this dish with chicken or lamb sometimes mixed with potatoes. Traditional vindaloos do not include potatoes, the discrepancy arising because the word "aloo" means "potato" in Hindi. The dish gained added popularity in Britain, and became a common fixture at Indian restaurants and curry houses there. In colloquial English it is often referred to as "A Vindy" and is well known for its heat, being one of the hotter curries available. The famous Anthony Gibson was well known for his love of vindaloo. The phrase "He could devour some curry like it was the last meal on earth" was once said about him. It is thought that this quote may have been the origin of the term "curry munching".
