I've never had naan.
Dude! Quite depriving yourself.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Perhaps it's different elsewhere, but the naan that's available at two restaurants here is not unlike a gray, droopy sponge that's been sliced into wafer-thin servings.
Oh, Matt. I weep for you. (Not "sweep for you," which I typed twice.)

Up with the sun
I don't even like fried chicken, yet ... I can't deny the chicken/waffle appeal. Throw in that mac and cheese? OH GOD OH GOD MY GOD.
See, I like fried chicken, and I like waffles, but the idea of them being on the same plate just disturbs me. (Also, maple syrup + fried chicken = ew, in my head.) But I might try it, should it be offered, for lo! I am adventurous.
Mac & cheese, though, is a dealbreaker. It's one of those foods I decided I didn't like when I was five, and every time I try some I decide I'm still right. I agree that adding broccoli -- say, a 75-25 ratio of noodles to broccoli -- would make it more edible. Also, the noodles should be spirals or penne, because I hate the way macaroni looks.
Hi, I'm a freak.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Matt, you have not actually had naan, I'm afraid.
I swear, I don't think I've ever had bread that I didn't like, even the weird Himalayan steamed bun that was basically flavorless.

But often they aren't on the same plate. Sometimes they are, but usually we get chicken + gravy on one plate and the waffle on the other.

Carb slut. It's amazing you were able to stick to the high protein diet.

I think Matt needs a naan intervention. I love naan when it is crisp out of the tandoor.Mmm... I want Indian food now.

What Dana said. They should lock people up for calling something like that "naan".

True for me as well. The ethiopian crepe-y tortilla things did give me pause for a bit, but I decided I liked them after all.

That's why it's so good for me -- left to my own devices, I will eat 90% carbs. And 10% cheese.
