Hey CB, If you get a chance, try something called "chetinnad chicken". (Ideally Quail, but a small chicken is kinda good). Its a south indian dish that will burn your mouth (and other parts of your anatomy) off!

Hi Kumar - while I was undergrad at LSU, I hung out with some people from South India and Sri Lanka, and was the beneficiary of some very memorable meals. So spicy it made me gasp, and my eyes pop out, and made me burst into sweat. So spicy that lots and lots of rice and mango lassi were the only antidotes. Back home in PA there is a pizza shop called Sal's, run by - Sal. Sal had a hot wings sauce recipe that was so hot that if you could eat 5 (if I remember correctly) nuclear hotwings your meal was free. The guy was so proud of these damn wings, because no one could ever eat more than 5, they were so hot. I worked at another pizza joint down the street, Luigis, and one of my coworkers was a Bangladeshi in the States for college, named Jamil. Jamil had lunch at Sal's one day, and ordered up the nuclear hotwings. He sat there and kept putting those scorching wings away, one after another... 1,3,5,10... not even breaking a sweat. Sal couldn't believe it, just stood there watching him eat those wings. So he asks Jamil, "how you like those wings?" And Jamil looked at him and in his soft, ultra-polite Bangladeshi English, said "They were ok, thank you." Sal was so steamed he blustered about it for weeks. Hilarious. It was simply amazing. My mouth would've been blistered. Derek

<So spicy it made me gasp, and my eyes pop out> Thats not spicy - thats hot. Good indian food is spicy but not hot. not seen in restaurants, only seen it at homes. Oops forgot the context "south indian/sri lankan". Yep the food there is hot, and not spicy. Apparently has something to do with "need hot food to work up an apetite in the hot climate". Seems logical - Mexican food is hotter than English food! cheers, kumar PS: Next time order Raita with your meal, if you're in an indian restaurant.
