Now I'm hungry again....guess I could have another piece of pizza with my brandy.

That was a bit disorienting. It's 10:16 in the morning here - brandy is the last thing on my mind. Sorry to cause some late night munchies!

No problem.

Saag paneer and garlic naan -- wonderful, but then how could one go wrong with spicy spinach, cheese, and garlic bread?

Having only had caught-and-flown-hundreds-of-miles-inland crab, trying fresh-out-of-the-ocean crab is high on my list of things to try when I visit the coast.

Spicy caesar? Sounds intriguing.

Ah, the spicy caesar is a funny one. I think everyone should try it, if only to have a decent reason to not like it. I hate people wrinkling up their noses before even trying it. It happens to be one of my very favourite drinks (though I've only ever known Canadians to say this). It's basically a bloody mary, but spicier, and the tomato juice is actually Mott's Clamato (tomato juice mixed with a splash of clam juice). Garnish with a spicy pickled bean, and you have yourself a drink that (it seems) only a Canadian could love.
