Indian? Don't talk to me about Indian. Just got back from there. Didn't eat anything but bags of crisps, bottled water and fruit juice, pepsi etc. And I still got poisoned. On the mend now and nearly ready for my KFC. Mmmmm...

Orange juice and lemonade
Poppadoms / pickle tray (loving that lime pickle)
Mixed kebabs
Half a lager (I'm driving)
Persian Chicken Biryani
(I never have room for dessert)
Coffee and mints

Chicken Mad-Ass, possibly a (V)InDaLoo, with pilau ride and a peshwari naan, washed down with lager. and then some more lager Spotty dog

Thing is, if you actually ate the local food you probably would have been fine
Not so. When I went there 3 years ago I had nothing but the hotel food - the cooked stuff only, thinking it would be safe. I was seriously sick for a week. When I got home the doc requested the statutory sample. The results came back informing him I had a disease that had to be reported to the health authority, and it was a parasite normally found only in animals. In spite of all my precautions this time it still got me, but nowhere near so bad.
lol... now that is unlucky. Which part of India did you go to by chance? I think us Indians have a genetic tolerance towards that sort of thing lol. I'll eat anything.

Yes my brother went last year and he will eat anything and has stomach acids that will melt stainless steel. He got poisening straight away, parts have very poor hygene standards. He even went to one train station where they left dead bodies at the end of the station for collection from a train that passed through.
He got his food poisening from KFC, Rich indians cook from fresh or buy pre packed imports.
I love a good indian, had one the other night it was some sort of tikka that had a hint of mint - very yummy, forget its name though.

That was my first ever taste of indian food for me. 18 years old and into the local indian restaurant after an evening in the pub. A mate said that it would be nice and mild for my first try. One bit of the sauce on the end of my fork and that was it!
Mind you, my mate ordered the same and was eating it like it was a bowl of cornflakes! :shake:

I used to eat them quite regularly, but i got IBS a few years ago so tend to steer clear now as i don't want to take any chances, but i do sometimes miss them

I regularly used to have a phall but after having a prawn phall a few years ago I have never had one since, I now either have a Lamb Chun Chun (same sort of spice heat as a vindaloo but with a different flavour) or a chicken or lamb vindaloo.
Prawn dishes tend to be hotter than their meat counterparts for some reason, so be careful ordering, a prawn madras will usually be as hot as a meat vindaloo, prawn vindaloo as hot as a meat phall and the prawn phall I had was a trip to the hospital with 'thermal shock' my body just could not take the chilli heat!

Interesting i didn't realise that, coming from B,ham i've tasted most
, although i've never really liked prawns in Indian dishes as they tend to over cook them, Chinese and Thai prawn dishes for me, they take a lot of beating.always wanted to , local place has started to do it on new menu so I will get around to it soon! there is also a curry house around us (never been to) heard they do a dish called the 'red bullet' which is said to be hotter.

The first trip was to Chennai. This recent one was to Calcutta. I was extremely careful on this recent one - showering at hottest temp that I could stand, keeping my eyes and mouth tightly shut and minimising water on my face etc. For the first five days I ate a couple of various cereal bars that I had taken as emergency food and to give away to the street kids. Then I got sick of them and had crisps. I honestly didn't feel hungry at any time, just a need for liquids. Bottled water, checking the seal, bottled and canned fruit juices, pepsi etc. It was only on my last day (after 10 days) that things started to go wrong, if you know what I mean, but as I was eating very little there wasn't enough 'evidence' to cause concern. It was only after eating properly, first on the return flight, then first day home, that it became apparent.
I'm sure most Indian people do have a resilience, but a couple of Indian ladies who I work with say they both still get in to some sort of stomach trouble every time they go back. And I had the misfortune to witness a couple of events in Calcutta last week which indicated even the locals aren't immune.
