I'm going to take a break from the politics and do this food thing... it's via Keera (though it's taken me a while to follow up!). Big Stupid Tommy has taken a whack at it as well.

The Chicken Tikka Masala at The Sitar on Lee Highway is actually really good...though I recommend the mild or the medium, because their Hot will vaporize the taste buds....though nothing will clear your sinuses more completely....
I had a chicken tikka sandwich on the train home. Yep. That's what I had. Not bad. I'd love to know what I've eaten in Germany. May have filled in a few gaps there. :-)
