Um. So - what? The top 100 foodstuffs an omnivore should reat before they die?
Here;s the ones I haven't eaten (that I know of)
I fucking love Aloo gobi.
i "Why "cheese fondue?" Why not just cheese sauce / queso?" rock
*I was inadvertently served a whole insect once in my mexican rice, but I didn't eat it. At least, not that one.
**though I've had other kinds of masala.

Phaal is a degree of spicy, not a particular dish. Maybe I'll bite the bullet tomorrow at Roti Grill.
