4. I should check that out... |
|
I went on a TJ's tamale tear last week.
We're well stocked on wine, so we probably don't need to go down there for a while, but I *do* need to go to the native plant nursery and get a new silver bush lupine. The last one I got from there died. :(

8. It's like chorizo (mexican sausage) |
|
only it's soy! It's kinda spicy and one of the fake meats I really like.
Do they have Mexican food in Britain?

11. Can probably get it somewhere |
|
Britain is a pretty cosmopolitan place. But I've never heard of it, that's for sure.
(I don't really think vegetables are gross).

14. In Bedford, I don't think so |
|
Elsewhere I'm sure they do. Like London. They have everything in London.
It would be a ghastly shame for Britain to be deprived of a visit from XemaSab simply for want of a Mexican meal. :cry:

I wasn't sure they DID, and that's why I asked.
Have you HAD Mexican food?
'Cause lemme tell ya... it's the life blood of the State of California. I think we'd all move back east were it not for Mexican food. It's everywhere, and the cheaper it is the better.

20. I've had stuff that PURPORTS to be Mexican food |
|
like tacos, nachos and stuff, but how can I say how authentic it is?
It's like Indian food: this country is liberally smattered with Indian restaurants, being run by Indian expats (or their descendents), but what they serve isn't like anything you'd actually get in India. The food has been prepared to appeal to british tastes. I once went into an Indian restaurant in Belgium, and what I got was quite different to what I would have received in England.
So yes, I've had Mexican food (there's a so-called Mexican restaurant in Milton Keynes, 15 miles away), but what you would call it, that is another matter. It's very likely you would be unimpressed.

What's the difference between British Indian and Indian Indian?

23. British Indian has more intense flavour and colour |
|
Indian restaurants over here use way too much artificial colouring, making the curries brilliant yellows and reds. In India they just use the natural spices to colour the food, particularly turmeric and paprika, and the food tends to come out much duller looking. (Better for you though - the artifical colours are not so good). That doesn't mean they don't use much chilli in India, though - they do. They LOVE chilli! But, they tend to be pretty subtle about the rest of the flavour. In an Indian restaurant in Britain, subtlety tends to go out the window.
Also, in India they can do much better vegetarian stuff, because there are still a great number of vegetarians there. In Britain, they simply assume that everyone wants meat, which is generally a good assumption.

24. Turmeric is quite the coloring agent |
|
but I think my tummy's a bit sensitive to it. x(
I've been studying my European field guide lately. Any good birding spots around Bedford? :D

25. A quick google throws up some stuff |
|
http://www.birdguides.com/birdnews/county.asp?a=1http://www.birdsofbritain.co.uk/reserves/beds.htmAnd the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) has a reserve in Sandy, Bedfordshire: http://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/t/thelodge/index.aspWhether good or not, I don't know. But there is certainly something. This is a fairly rural area so I guess we should expect there to be stuff to see. :D
