Last girl I dated was a trip. Started off well enough, then... well, I remember having to break up with her about five times because the first four times I explained it was over she would just respond with, "I disagree." I didn't really know how to respond to that having never heard anything like that before lol.
Seriously? Did she really say those words 'i disagree' or are you paraphrasing. Holy shit if not, seems like out of a movie. :lol
 
My mom makes an epic chicken biryani. Seriously, I'm hungry just thinking about it.

Think of that only thicker and with actual chicken parts.
 
If you guys want Indian food recommendations, this is my go-to

Vegetable korma over white rice

Chicken 65

And freshly-baked naan bread

You will probably not even finish all of it because it's so filling, but you're going to try, anyway, because it's so good.

My ex called it the "the conversation stopper" because all talking stopped so we could eat.

Did you make a thread about this? I read about this happening here on GAF before.
 
My favorites are Indian/Burmese, Thai and Peruvian cuisines.

I'm Indian, so obviously Indian is #1 for me (though South Indian is better. I think North Indian is too greasy and rich)

Then after that probably Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese, in no particular order.
 
I remember when ever I made sambusas for school no one ever knew what I was talking about. So then I started saying "theyre pretty much samosas" and they all understood lol
Haha this transfers a lot, I remember the times in elementary where the kids were like 'so you're indian' when middle eastern, lol. Either that or they said "Cereal's a country?" when I told them 'Syria'. SMH.

haha.. thats funny. "I'm not eating anything called sambusa... oh, you mean samosa? SURE! I'll take two"

You should have told them it's right next to Turkey, but Hungary tried to take them both over.
 
Indian Food Question for all the Brown peeps in the thread:

How many of you eat Thayir Sadam/Dahi Sadam?

It's seriously my soul food. My Sri Lankan brother in law is the only person I know more addicted to thayir sadam than I am.

For those that don't know, thayir sadam is steamed rice mixed with curd/yogurt. In the west, it's easiest to mix with a mixture of plain yogurt and buttermilk.

I've never tried it but now I'm going to.
 
The one thing I miss the most since i've left the states (food wise) is chinese food. And Whataburger.

Seriously, those corn puff things with combo chicken, god I miss it. They sell it here in a restaurant far away, for super expensive, but the taste isn't even really the same.

CHERISH THAT SHIT FOOD people.

Yeah no one ever heard of Yemen either until it started making headlines lmao.
People always could tell that I was Middle Eastern until I went to high school, then I was mistaken for South Asian all the time lol
 
Oh, are we sharing horror stories with our exes now?

Me and mine dated for about 3 months in '07. Then around the middle of November, she asked me if she could fly back to Texas to have Thanksgiving with her relatives. Since I'm not a heartless monster, I said "sure thing, have fun!"

I didn't hear from her again until January, when she sent me a message on MySpace (which was all the rage at the time) saying that she was ending the relationship, but wouldn't tell me why. I figured something was up when I checked her profile in December and noticed that everything related to me that she had put up had mysteriously disappeared.

Fast forward to November '08, and she sends me a message apologizing for everything. I asked her why she did it in the first place, and all she could say was that she "had issues." She still lives in Texas, and we still talk, because I'm too nice of a guy to burn bridges. :|

"Having issues". It's like "It's not you it's me" without all the details.

I've never tried it but now I'm going to.

Really? Man, it's a staple in my family.

Vietnamese food is incredible. You haven't lived until you've had a well prepared bowl of Pho. I make my own Japanese recipes. One that I make and I'm particularly fond of is my Tonkatsu which is breaded and fried pork cutlets over rice. Its a simple dish, but when done right is so good.
 
I really like Indian food but I can't seem to stomach it all if I eat a lot of it. I get cramps for the rest of the day ;/
Fuck it though, I'll still eat it. My diversity club took us to an Indian buffet a while back and it was amazing.

My favorite is Thai though ;p

Yeah, don't want to derail this thread but when 9/11 happened the jokes in elemntary/JH definitely started coming out of the bag. It was mostly play, but it got to me sometimes.

Thankfully (maybe that's wrong), I look quite white, lol.

Lol, pretty sure the concept of a 'turkey' being a country when I was in elementary school was pretty vague as well, haha.

Most Indian food in restaurants is North Indian (which is all greasy, fried and rich). I'm not actually a huge fan of North Indian food.

South Indian food is far far better.

Nah, I refrain from making Girl-Age threads. However, for some reason I think I remember reading that shit too now. I need to go back and find that thread just to make sure the OP wasn't dating my ex lmao.

What the fuck bro. How can any of you deal with this? No closure nothing? God damn, maybe i'm a nosey bitch but i'm the freak who would've stalked her house to see wtf was going on if she did that to me.

I'm not sure how some of it was made :/ Most of it was all curry though rofl

Back in middle school when it happened, a lot of that stuff was coming to me from a genuine position. Plus got a few threats too. Hurt quite a bit.

Ain't that the truth.

I didn't do it because I didn't wanna be "that guy" in case she had shitty internet or something where she was staying. I spent pretty much all of December giving her the benefit of the doubt (which included no happy birthday from her either). When she sent me the message in November, I was practically in shock.
 
Yeah I'm about to have to bail out of this thread if ya'll keep posting food pics. I got curry chicken and rice I'm trying to save for the morning but that's not going to happen if I keep getting tempted. This is worse than The Contest threads lol
 
OK, you all remember that 'due date' I posted a while back for the whole avatars dealio? There still seems to be frequent (every other page or so) new people joining up, so F that deadline.

Question is, should I wait 'till the end of the month to make the final collage, or what? I'm not sure if this will really last a whole month, I fear... it's been nearly two weeks so far and it feels like a lifetime, lol.

Ain't that the truth.

Wow, people I don't even fucking know know how to tell me happy birthday. Seriously bro, consider yourself lucky. I don't know her or want to act as if I do, but what an ass.

Yeah, definitely not some happy memories. :\ Luckily I was more of a kid at the time so it wasn't too bad, but I can only imagine for other people...
 
lol are you serious? Is my local Indian Restaurant trolling me?!

Tikka masala was created by British Indian immigrants, but it's been incorporated into menus at Indians restaurants.

It's the national food of England, now.

I was in high school.

Some kid tried to beat me with a pipe. He didn't make contact that time, but he got me good a few other times with his fists.

What's funny is I was going through my whole atheistic phase at the time so I didn't even self-identify as muslim!

CHERISH THAT SHIT FOOD people.

I miss mozzarella sticks, they don't have it here in Brazil :(

Oh ok, well I guess it has happened to somebody else then, you're not alone! :lol.

Yeah, I know it and she knows it too. Truth be told, I don't really regret keeping her as a friend now. But it was a lot easier to make that decision due to her being halfway across the country from me.

That's fucking terrible.

Never got that bad for me. Though I was nearly jumped one time and I managed to talk my way out of it.
 
Alright RP Gaf.... THE MAN cant keep me here past 5pm, so see you fools later.
Yeah, same here. Gotta go to bed, it's 2AM here and I don't want to blink twice and see the sun rising without feeling four hours pass by.

This real pic January has got me confused. I can't tell between pictures of users and pictures of people that users put as their avatars.
Umm, is that you in your avatar or not? You're confusing me now!

I knew this was going to be a problem from the start. Like this one girl who was in some other thread going on about how she thought she was the "most unattractive person in the world" and how nobody ever hit on her, and I was tempted to comment on how she looked like Hayden Panettiere (hawt), but decided against it because for all I know she's using a web cam photo of Hayden Panettiere.

That would have been awkward. A little.
 
Might as well wait until the end of January after we are done making various avatars of ourselves doing stupid things.
