In Sri Lanka we eat very hot and spicy dishes so much so that an English visitor had declared that Sri Lankans use water for ablutions instead of toilet paper cos of the danger of the paper catching fire
Good work Huggerman and I am sure that the saying that everything is big in Texas applies here as well....eh????
Ahh thats it: this is the JAMBU I described as found in Sri Lanka. the name "little water pear" is apt cos it is about 99% water (In my opinion). A friend told me that this fruit together with the vastly popular Rambuttan had been introduced to Sri Lanka by the Portuguese who colonised this Island, way back when!!
Actually Boban, a curry is a favourite dish of those on the Indian sub continent, including Sri Lanka. It is more or less a viscous liquid made using meat, fish or a veg as a base.
So if any Chinese tries to eat a curry (our version)with chopsticks, that would be a sight indeed.
Two fleas had an arrangement to meet every winter in Miami for a vacation.
Last year when one flea got to Miami, he's shivering and shaking.
The other flea asks him," why are you shaking so badly?"
The first flea says, "I rode down here from New Jersey in the moustache of a guy on A Harley."
The other flea responds saying," That's the worst way to travel. Try what I do. Go to the New Jersey airport bar.
Have a few drinks. While you are there, look for a nice stewardess.
Crawl up her leg and nestle in where it’s warm and cosy. It’s the best way to travel that I can think of."
The first flea thanks the second flea and says he will give it a try next winter. A year goes by.....When the first flea shows up in Miami he is shivering and shaking again. The second flea says, "Didn't you try what I told you?"
"Yes," says the first flea, "I did exactly as you said. I went to the New Jersey airport bar. I had a few drinks.
Finally, this nice young stewardess came in. I crawled right up to her warm cosy spot. It was so nice and warm that I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was back in the moustache of a guy on a Harley[/quote
