What do these people want? (Oct 29 2003 07:43 GMT) - You may be aware of the fact that I like hot and spicy food. One of my problems is that I live in a country where the majority of people don't like hot and spicy food. The blander the better is the rule, and unfortunately this is having its effects even on Indian restaurants, where, with only two or three exceptions, you simply can't get a decent hot curry. An Indian restaurant owner recently almost apologized to me for his lunch buffet, which, he said, is made according to the lowest common denominator. If I wanted hotter and spicier, I should always say so in advance. |
