Randomness is an art!



Kicking it off with Asian food!

OK, we all love a curry every now and again, and many can argue Asian cuisine
(curry in particular) has muscled it’s way to into the list of top ten British national dishes. But what is it that makes us go through the whole traumatic experience of having a curry, sometimes on a weekly basis?  

Firstly there’s the burning tounge sensation that feels like one has been licking a lump of hot coal or chewing on stinging nettles, (then you try and extinguish your pain with some coke but find it only exasperates your dire situation!)

Then there’s Runny Nose Syndrome, which can be quite embarrassing if you’re out with the lady in your first weeks together, or even worse, meeting your in laws for the first time! You try and steal a wipe of the nose each time they busy themselves with trying to fish out the meat pieces from the dish in front of them; but to no avail as your nose continues to leak like a rusting Russian submarine.

What makes matters worse is when you’re at a really posh place where they don’t do serviettes and they give you a great big napkin instead. I mean, how are you supposed to wipe your nose with that?it’s a bit like using your sleeve, you just don’t do it!

Finally there are the aftershocks. Going to the loo to finally relieve yourself isn’t as straight forward after you’ve had a curry, and you’ll find yourself needing the companionship of a fire extinguisher to help cool the severe punishment to your derriere (french for ones rear end)

 That all being said, here’s the first quote of randomness regarding this topic:

 ”Asian food has all the nutritional benefits of Mercury and the dishes look as though they have been specially designed and prepared by someone who has the dexterity of a Rhinoceros and the artistic skills of a 60ft Tyrannosaurus Rex.”
                                                                              ( Random et al 2008 )

P.S Mercury is an extremely unhealthy substance! ;-)

    Very good analysis of the four stages of curry consumption. [Burning, leaking, wiping, relieving].

    Saying that, I thoroughly disagree with the quote above for three specific reasons.

    1) To lump all Asian food together is like lumping all European food together. Italian, French, German and English cuisine is very different to each other.

    2) Most ‘Asian’ food served in restaurants bears little resemblance to Asian food served at home.

    2) The skill of Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati and South Indian chefs is world renowned. To say they are unskilled is equivalent to judging European cuisine by Deep Fried Mars Bars, saying it has no class.

    Hey guys, the comments I made are made in jest and not necessarily my true opinions. On the contrary im quite an avid fan of the Asian Cuisine, but this shouldn’t stop me from commenting at the expense of its dishes.

    Look forward to the next bit of randomness, tommorow.

    Peace out.

  7. lol!!!!

    That’s so true about the runny nose syndrome.

    I myself can recall the many times that has happened to me, and each time, you try to furtively wipe your nose with any item you can get a hold of that in some way shape or form resembles a handkerchief.

    Im not married yet, but id hate that to happen on a night out with your newly wed. I think i’ll have to make sure that we go strictly vegetarian in the first few outings.

    I still haven’t been able to discover why that happens. Any ideas?

    i think i agree with the quote, there is no place for this kind of food on my plate.

    I admit to enjoying the odd Asian dish however, i usually feel very unhealthy after – and in need of some exercise.

    nice blog, i like the idea
