Rasgullahs are sweet, and I can get them for free from the neighbourhood shop, if I want it.

Rasam, the life blood of the Tams, is however indubitably sour... Could that be a reason for their tartiness?

as expected, you dunno how many varieties of rasams are there - your exposure to rasam is, let me guess, the local "akbar" or "*hi" that serves rasam as an "appetizer". dear FP, there are quite a few rasams that don't use tamarind at all and aren't 'tarty'. in any case, no one makes a "sour" rasam.

on a related note, could an overdose of rasgullahs be the cause of certain brains being rather soft and spongy?

[achutank]

feverpitch, i know rasam


you sir, are no rasam knower

You can have your rasam as appetiser, main course, dessert. Then follow it with another three course dinner comprising of baby puke curd rice for every course. The aura of sourness will not leave you, nor the rock in place of the heart. A begger would be better off with a Shylock, than a Tam.

Just as there can never be enough of manna, so can there never be an overdose of rasgullahs. Your suggestion falls flat.

just coz you have fish and rasgullah for every meal, why do you assume the whole world does something similar? rasam is never had as an appetizer except by some ignorant folks from other parts of india. well, with you exhibiting "camel and the tent" tendencies, i don't blame one for being a shylock with you!

Just as there can never be enough of manna, so can there never be an overdose of rasgullahs. Your suggestion falls flat.

hehe, you consider curdled milk, extracted off all its nutrients, soaked in sugar syrup 'manna'? well, such 'simple' folks do exist!

FP,

Though I am a non-vegetarian, as a Southie I do love my Rasams and Sambhars. And, both of these are not unique to Tamil land but to all of South India. And they come in dozens of different varieties. Of course, I have had some "rasam" in Indian Restaurants abroad and it was like tamarind water with some pepper added to it. In north india, it is propbably the same.

Trust me. I have tried a variety of rasams, and I've liked what I had. But why should I let that come in the way of a great argument? 

This, however is quite unlike most Tamilians I know [except those settled in Kolkata, and there are quite a few], who seem to be quite immersed in their own food and culture, and quite unwilling to try anything, esp non-veg. Which is the antithesis of the average Malayali, whom I find to be in general the most adaptive of all South Indians.

I mean, would the average Tamilian try cooking Bengali or Gujarati cuisine at home, even as a change [I'm sure that in the age of globalization, there will be a few who might try Italiano   or Francoise  or even Madrasi Chinese  , but I would be hard pressed to believe that they would touch anything remotely desi AND non Tamil even with a bargepole]? I can vouch for it that MOST average middle class urban Bengali homes have some bastardized version of sambhar, iddly, dosai, upma, uthapam etc AT HOME quite regularly.

Does that mean that Tamil cuisine is proven to be so superior to the rest that it needs no further confirmation. If so, who might be the judge, and what could be the parameters of judgement?

i think you are mixing up "vegetarianism" and tamilians. there is only a very small percentage of tamilians, namely the brahmins(well, there cd be a few other castes as well..) who do not consume meat. the rest of the tamilian cuisine include a variety of meat dishes. are you familiar with the chettinaadu cuisine? one reason why "brahmins" may not eat a lot of north indian dishes could be coz of the use of garlic/onions.

i dunno where you met your tamilians, all the tamilians i know eat chappati and poori and kurma and biriyani quite regularly. these aren't tamilian or south indian in their origins. unfortunately, the average urban bengali or any other "north" indian seem to be aware of only the south indian tiffins, i.e. idly, dosai, uthappam. little do they know about the other preparations from the south, say, a kootu or a eriseri or a molaguttal. i think an average tamilian eats as much of "non-tamil indian fare" as does your cosmopolitan, open-minded bengali. not to mention the assorted desserts from the north - wonder how many bengalis would have tasted or even know what an aDa pradhaman is?

Does that mean that Tamil cuisine is proven to be so superior to the rest that it needs no further confirmation. If so, who might be the judge, and what could be the parameters of judgement?

it is nothing about superiority - it is merely a matter of habit and convenience. oh, as for eating  gujarati dishes, there is a much tastier version of kadhi in the south and many more steamed dishes than a dhokla, say, a aRisi kozhakattai or a kuzhiappam!

I love chettinad cuisine. And I've eaten enough Tam Biriyani with mustard seeds and curry leaves and coconut oil to know that with slight modifications, Muslim cuisine has had a pretty big influence on Tam cuisine, as on other cuisines. Which is why what we might call muslim cuisine is well adapted within everyday Tam home cooking.

BTW, not ever dish made north of the Vindhyas need garlic and onions.

Exactly. Habit and convenience.

I never went into the reasons. I was merely concerned with the results.

[pipsqueak]

BTW, not ever dish made north of the Vindhyas need garlic and onions.

i know that. but many dishes do use it whereas an orthodox brahmin cuisine does not ever use it. sadly, more and more kids in the south prefer aloo gobi and paneer tikka to simple steamed vegetables. and traditional sweets like laDDu, jaangiri etc. are finding it hard to survive against the curdled milk preparations from your land. 

you seem to consider eating dosai/idly as being "open-minded" - to me, that shows how limited your(in fact, largely true of many non-southindians) knowledge of south indian cuisine is. if that is your measure, almost every tamilian is alo "open-minded".

i am sure that more tamilians make a kadhi or a dhokla, various varieties fo daal than the number of peopel yonder who make aviyal/kottu/pachadi and vaTTa kozhambu!

Exactly. Habit and convenience.


I never went into the reasons. I was merely concerned with the results.

and you tell me that is isn't true of other cultures? pray, tell me honestly, how much south indian cooking does an average bengali household do? forget the idly/dosai/sambhar nonsense -that is nullified by the chappati/puri/daal routine in the south. tell me the things that are made outside of these.

[colonel]

...er, fever's a dab hand at sambar, trust me. and what was that other noxious bit you cooked, FP?

[pipsqueak]

...er, fever's a dab hand at sambar, trust me. and what was that other noxious bit you cooked, FP?

ah, really? how many varieties of sambar can he cook?  what are the various spice combinations for each? dumping toor daal, assorted vegetables in tamarind water with a spoonful of some readymade powder does not make a 'sambar'. yeah, some people think that's all there is to it and revel in their 'open-mindedness'. 

[feverpitch]

Try telling that to Bong Brahmins!

Better late than never. I'm glad your country folks have at last learnt to accept the superiority of Bengali mishti.

Since when has eating roti and dal become Gujju or Bong staples?

I did say bastardized versions.

Are there any? 

[pipsqueak]

so? namboodiris, the kerala brahmins also eat fish. your point is?

Better late than never. I'm glad your country folks have at last learnt to accept the superiority of Bengali mishti. 

well, most of the whole world crave for french fries and burgers as well. doesn't say much about them, does it? 

Since when has eating roti and dal become Gujju or Bong staples?

err..could you stick to one argument? your point was that tamilians don't eat non-tamilian cuisines like the bengalis who eat idly, dosai! i give you counter-examples for that. and now you change your query? so your point is that tamilians don't eat bengali(and gujarati) food? ah, your true gripe comes out! did you miss what i said about desserts, khadi, dhokla and daal? btw, khuskhus(poppy seeds) is used in a variety of ways in SI cuisine. aloo posto/luchis are ALSO made, but called by different names.

I did say bastardized versions.

yeah, but still limited to the popular tiffins. i mean, it is like saying "oh, i make samosas, pakoras, kichidi' and so i am well-versed in north-indian cuisine. if you tell me that you have a full-fledged SI meal with kozhambu, kootu, poriyal, pachadi, rasam, maanGa toKKu and sakkara pongal, i will beleive that yes, bengalis do indeed appreciate the finer tastes of life.

Are there any? 

must you expose yourself so? 

[feverpitch]

Point is that TamBrahms are extremely stuck up.

I'm not talking about 'most of the world'. Besides, french fries and burgers have been popularized by big MNC corporate houses. Bengali sweets are still cottage industry [thank heavens!], and they still rule!

Google has its uses. BTW, my original point was that Tams are stuck up. I am happy to see u disprove me. Now I know Tams have been bowled over by Bong sweets.

To each his own. I mean, there are Koreans who claim dog meat to be their gift from heaven.

Are there any? 

must you expose yourself so? 

Yes I must--save my finer tastes for things not made out of tamarind pulp, sour curd, smelly over ripe bananas and coconut oil.

[pipsqueak]

Point is that TamBrahms are extremely stuck up.

why? coz they don't eat fish? again, this WAS the tradition. things have changed, you would notice if you bother to actually interact with a few "urban" (whatever be your definition of that word) tamil brahmins and checkl. if your gripe is with 'vegetarianism', that isn't restricted to tam brahms and is a more universal belief. start by criticizing the 'vegans'.

I'm not talking about 'most of the world'. Besides, french fries and burgers have been popularized by big MNC corporate houses. Bengali sweets are still cottage industry [thank heavens!], and they still rule!

my point is that just because something is gaining in popularity, it is by no means a measure of its "superiority". if anything, it shows that tamilians are OPEN to trying new things. wonder if bengalis would show the same "openness" towards tasting a "neyyappam". or would you hide under the cloak of "our sweets are superior" and be what was that you said, "frog in the well'? 

Google has its uses. BTW, my original point was that Tams are stuck up. I am happy to see u disprove me. Now I know Tams have been bowled over by Bong sweets. 

ah, is that how you spew your wisdom? using google, i mean? why not concede that i happen to be knowledgeable about indian cuisine and the various regional delicacies? would that contradict your set notion about a "tam brahm' and break your argument?

To each his own. I mean, there are Koreans who claim dog meat to be their gift from heaven.

...and some think curdled milk dunk in sugar syrup is manna!

Yes I must--save my finer tastes for things not made out of tamarind pulp, sour curd, smelly over ripe bananas and coconut oil.

yeah, reserve it for curdled milk, cooked-beyond-recognition mush, and yes, stinky fish charred in mustard oil

Aha, Parochialism to Tamil dishes.......everything in one thread. What a thread !!  If we ever have Gangulian get-together, I hope MT will prepare some delicious dishes she's talking about.

Seems like some of our esteemed moral guardians have completely 'lost it now'. I prefer asking them to take a hike, but you may want to teach them the finer nuances of banter.
Anyway, enjoy your sour and fermented drivel. I need to wash down the bitters with some sugar syrup and dollops of curdled milk.

i am having a whale of a time arguing and who are these people complaining?? please let me have my share of fun on the DG and for the record, i don't find anything FP has said to me about myself, my caste, my community, my tastes OFFENSIVE or ban-worthy! can't people have some good-natured fun any more? i would appreciate it if i am allowed to decide what offends me.

Erm, the complainant was merely making a point to the Mods that according to the new and fancy rules, FP's post would be taboo. But apparently there are loopholes even in the new rules ( asking the other main parties in the discussions if they were offended, not just if ANYONE was offended) - well it was good to know that via the complaint experiment.

The original instinct of the complainant was to partake of the banter too, but decided to test the waters of the new "dont dive in, PM the mods , the ZERO TOLERANCE rules will be enforced" world

MT,
Seems like some of our esteemed moral guardians have completely 'lost it now'. I prefer asking them to take a hike, but you may want to teach them the finer nuances of banter.
Anyway, enjoy your sour and fermented drivel. I need to wash down the bitters with some sugar syrup and dollops of curdled milk.



PS: Moral Guardians are never mods. Mods are official. MG's are unofficial purveyors of culture and mental health.

stuff and nonsense! whatever has happened to sense of humour and some good-natured ribbing? disgusted with the moderation but that's what DG has turned into thanks to all the whining.

This is like living in India nowadays. Someone or the other may feel offended by you. So Miss Shetty and Mr. Gere.........plz find a room for yourselves.

yeah right. all these people who "complain'' are the ones who need to find a cocoon for themselves and coat themselves with aloe vera ! ban me now 

The complainant claimed that his rasam tasted stale after going thru these posts.

Seems like nothing ever offends u - does not mean it will not offend others also!

PS: I did not complain on this, but neverthless understand if someone got upset.

hehe, why not simply say that we are on prowl to "get" FP and the mods at the slightest opportunity?
