Pearly,

Thank you so much for that marvelous history of capiscum cultivation on the crown palate. Surrounded as I am by juniper berries, I can relate.

Yes, this woman voting thing has gotten totally out of hand. Just today, Pervez Mussaraf was actually gushing about the fact that 1/3 of the regional representatives in Pakistan were, can you believe this????, women. This from the sole country still maintaining ties with the Taliban government in Afghanistan! Why, it's enough to make a good Beefeater to go positively apoplectic with rage and incomprehension. And a Yank to wonder why Bombay Sapphire's website doesn't load (pun intended) and why they shouldn't change the name to Mumbai Malachite.

Not to be semi-precious, or anything....

Namaste!

>>Indigenous Indian food is not normally highly spiced<<

When I attended college at LSU-Baton Rouge, a thousand years ago, my then-boyfriend roomed with a couple of guys from Sri Lanka, who had friends from all over the sub-continent. My own experience with native-style Indian food is that a little bit of curry is intended to be mixed with a great deal of rice.
