Different Cultural food!

I love Turkish food and mediterranean foods.

I live in the south. We eat grease and sugar. With lemon.

With a side of something unrecognizeable and deep fried.

In Florida, we eat similiar things to most Americans, although I've never seen Conch or Gator meat anywhere else...

We also smoke tobacco straight out of the field (at least my grandma did one time xD) and live for hundreds of years.

Also, corn on the cob.

PS: Pasties are things strippers wear. :/

The South has Paula Dean. Paula's home cooking!

I plan on taking the Paula Dean Tour in Savannah one day.

Savannah is an awesome city and you will enjoy it. This is my prediction. I am also psychic.

Savannah is a beautiful city and has great beaches and warm ocean water.

I'll wait for Neel to come here and tell you about the Indian food though.

I was hoping for more anticipation to build up.
Such are the trappings of being a narcisstic jackass.

First things first:
Draw distinction between North and South Indian food.
South Indian food is mushy grainy stuff like dhosa and idli, and are thus inferior. You can get sambhar though, which is a spicy lentil soup and would be the best soup in the history of mankind if it didn't come from South India.

Now that's out of the way, we can talk about how awesome North Indian cuisine is. This is the stuff you're most likely to try in a restaurant, because everyone knows you can't make money off of South Indian food, because it's terrible.
Unfortunately, most people try the meat dishes, which although are excellent, really require little more effort than throwing spices together in a tomato based concotion and dropping chunks of meat in it.
The better side of Indian food lies in the infinite ways they make vegetarian food interesting and delicious. Dishes range from the spicy (bengan bhartha - something about eggplant) to the sweet (navratran korma - oh my god it's so good) to the filling (stuffed okra!) to stuff I can make (aloo bhaji - simple and tasty).
In fact, if you want some cheap and easy Indian food to make, I can give you a starter. The only thing that may be difficult is gathering the spices. Ask your local Indian female where to find them. You'll need:

turmeric powder
coarse ground cumin
coarse ground coriander
fine ground red chilli (not that weak sauce crushed red pepper crap)
mustard seeds

and of course salt, black pepper, whatever else you want, etc.

Yeah, you could get more, but you really don't need to. So, put a pot on the stove and put a bit of oil in it. Throw on some mustard seeds and flame the pot around med-high until the seeds start popping. Throw in some chopped onion, some garlic and ginger paste, and lightly brown the onions. If you're feeling adventurous, add chopped tomatoes. Then throw in ANY (yes, that's right, ANY) chopped vegetable and the spices. If it's a dry-type vegetable, add water. Then stir every once in a while and keep covered. Done.

Don't you go warping my mind any more than you already have. You've done quite enough damage in #tot, thankyou very much Megan.
