i’m still kind of disturbed by how closely this movie worked with the air force. disney’s monopolistic scummery had always been something that made me uneasy about them, but now they’re taking money from the armed forces to make them seem good? that is straight up propaganda and we should all know better at this point Read more

I went to Japan 12 years ago and still dream about the Ebi Fillet-o from McDonalds there. So good! Read more

Everything else I’d ever had from that bakery was transcendent, so I was pretty comfortable concluding that hot cross buns are just a really, really bad idea. Read more

One of my absolute favorite things when I lived in Japan was the ebi fillet-o. It’s a shame it hasn’t made its way to America. Read more

Strongly considering making my next vacation a trip to India.  Read more

I wish they would just bring stuff like this to NA. I would legit eat these. Read more

Goddamnit, McDonald’s, you bring this heavenly burger to Australia this instant. You’ll have this vegetarian buying it from you more times a week than is healthy for anyone. Read more

One of the most magical things Indian cuisine has given us is the onion bahji. They come in a few different varieties - sometimes they’re little patties, sometimes crispy strips - but they’re always fantastic. Read more

I’m sure I have a mango chutney recipe and/or video rattling around somewhere. That stuff is the literal food of the Gods. Read more

Turkish Delight is a bit of a let-down unless it’s coated in chocolate and served to a dame you’ve just dug out of the Arabian sands...

Paneer is also incredibly easy - and fun! - to make. I will say though, India has one special little trick up her sleeve when it comes to take-away food...well, three, actually. The first is the legendary samosa (legendary as far as I’m concerned in that they’re so nibblesome, no matter what time of day it is), the

We have made paneer many a Meatless Monday.  I would love to have a chance to try a fast food version of it on a burger any day of the week. Read more
