 ML> samba parade! [...] in downtown Finland
 JW> That's new to me.

Started off from the Helsinki cathedral and went south
from there. Traffic was cut off except for the trams and
cop cars. Watching the tram occupants' faces as they
faced a detour caused by scantily etc. clad ladies was
as much fun as watching the ladies themselves.

 ML> scantily but extravagantly clad ladies
 JW> Fun to Google!

I Googled this term and didn't find anything interesting.
With quotes, nothing at all.

I do so much prefer south Indian food.

Fair enough, though fire eating is quite comprehensible
given the state of hyderabad, er, hygiene in south India.

Tindaloo isn't really food at all. Perhaps joke is the
appropriate description. I've wondered at times when I've
ordered something extra hot and gotten it grainy with
ground hot pepper. Sometimes it borders on bad tasting,
with bitterness and stale hot pepper being the dominant
aspects. On the other hand I've gotten fond of salt-boiled
potatoes in oil and grainy ground hot pepper.

By the way, something called phall is said to be the hottest
food in the world, supposedly coming from Sri Lanka (even
farther south); and one of the hottest versions was apparently
served at a Ceylonese restaurant in of all places St. Paul,
Minnesota. When I went to said city I couldn't find the
restaurant and settled for a moderately spicy meal at an
Africa restaurant in Minneapolis instead.

  Recipe by Mary Carrol From the Best of Vegetarian Times recipe cards

  Helpful hints:  Freeze cheese balls at least a few hours before
  baking. Freezing allows cheese to harden so balls hold their shape in
  the oven. Unbaked cheese balls may be kept in the freezer in a
  tightly covered container for up to 2 weeks.

  VT's note:  These spicy little morsels are so easy to assemble that
  making them is almost as much fun as eating them!  Mix them up,
  freeze and they're ready when you are. Posted by Lisa Greenwood
