You can't eat plastic. I think we've all tried paint or glue, if inadvertently...

Saying that, a guy I worked with said he used to eat poly cement. Cue several of us trying to edge away, without looking like it...

Not food, but a hotel I stayed at in Bangkok had an English pub. It really was like back home until I ordered at the bar; it was table service. Not an authentic experience when you aren't elbowing someone out of the way who tries to push in front - the British love of queues is abandonded when the purchase of alcohol is concerned. The need to make things at least somewhat familiar seems to be a universal trait.

"Let's go out for an English."

"What's the blandest thing you've got on the menu?"

As for the word Balti, I heard it was invented in Birmingham and actually the word "Balti" meant bucket. This is while I was living there for uni so who knows the truth of it!

Many moons ago when eating curry at a local restaurant after the pub I would always have a Lamb Phal. On more then one occaision the chef came out to see who it was eating his Phal 

Went up Brick Lane not to long ago with Dave and Nick from the site, had a good curry there
