Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Curry flavour CRISPS are one of the pinnacles of UK civilisation.

I can't wrap my mind around this concept.

Chips (what you colonials call "fries) and curry sauce are another.

This, on the other hand, sounds pretty good.

Growing up, in my family, we called both chips. I distinctly remember my first trip to McDonald's trying to order chips, and the counter-person kept telling me we don't serve chips here. My friend's mom finally had to say, "She means fries."

My father has the interseting habit of refering to any American he likes as 'a crisp off the old block'. Not really relevent, but there you go.

I don't like anything with curry in.

Sister! Well not rice pudding. But definitely put curry on dead sheep. And add to tomato soup, and chicken soup, and potato salad and...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

But definitely put curry on dead sheep.

I had a lamb curry for lunch just yesterday, at the local pseudo-English pub (along with hot chips and malt vinegar).

I realise I'm imposing my opinoins, but- yuck! A vegetarian curry-haters nightmare.

Yeah lamb curry is what I was thinking of. And OK Curry flavored crisps sound good to me. As do "chips" (fries) with curry sauce...

And all you vegetarian curry haters can't squick me. People made a long list of food dislikes, and I happen to enjoy every single food on everyone's list. I have very few food hates.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, one could curry lamb. If one were ... disinclined to curry a goat or wait until the sheep had grown up right tasty.

That reminds me. I think I may be meeting friends at a Jamaican resteraunt this weekend. Curried goat is definitely one of the things I should try, right?

Although I like grapefruit juice, I usually dislike grapefruit sodas. (Aha, a food hate.) So skip the Ting, or try it just for the experience?
