Talking about food, I just saw a restaurant offer a “fried chicken salad” for lunch. I can just imagine the virtuous feeling the customers get from being able to say, “Oh, I just had a salad today.”

Well, as long as it technically has a vegetable on it…

Heh, I love these heuristics for figuring out if food is virtuous our not. To diverge from that restaurant and your blogpost quite a bit, the dichotomy seems to be healthy, made-from-scratch food vs unhealthy, convenient food, which results in a bunch of middle class (therefore most socially insecure) women competing amongst each other over how “healthy” and “green” (read: time-consuming) the food they feed to their families can get. Me, I’d rather get a shaorma (pita bread, raw vegetables and roasted chicken – one can skip the fries and, in the better shaorma places, get sauces that don’t come from a bottle and taste better than ketchup anyway) and spend the time I freed on either self-improvement or raw hedonism.

I really love shawarma. It seems to be sold everywhere in theworld these days except this area where I live. 😦

It really is the best street food. I’ve never had proper shaorma in a place that wasn’t run by Middle Eastern immigrants or Turks though, so if you live in Whitebread Smalltown America I can see how obtaining it would be a problem 😦

Don’t look to me as a role model — I’m about to pop ’round for onion bhajis and a chip shop curry …
I KNOW … *broadly beaming grin*… I’ll have them put it on a salad.
It won’t faze them a bit, I suspect — they’ll just think I’m five sheets to the wind like most of the other customers right now …

If you are in London, you’ll have the best Indian food ever. I’m envious.

Fried chicken salad..? American food is far, far more weird than any English Indian food I’ve ever tasted…. if that makes any sense.
