Spice is Nice!

For those of you that know me particularly well you will be fully aware that my tolerance to spice is pretty much non existent - spring onions and peppers were literally my limit.Since our arrival we have yet to receive a meal that is not packed with chilies....... HOT! HOT! HOT!

To begin with I found it quite a struggle and had to stock up on cereal and such things at the supermarket, but this would not do for the duration of my 3 month stay in India..... I am now a changed woman.

Eating only a small amount of the chili packed breakfasts, lunches and dinners my taste buds have been set a tingling and have changed at an alarming rate. I am wafting own full plates of rice, chapattis, poppadoms and an array of vegetable curry's. Alongside this we have not eaten any meat since landing in Chennai.....probably the longest I have ever been without it. But I am fully embracing the vegetables and fruit (coconut and banana trees line the streets here). Anyway, bit of a pointless blog but many of you expressed your concerns about my 'spice issues' back home and this is just to let you all know......Spice is nice!
