It’s All Relative
By One good thing about food allergy illnesses as compared to food poisoning: the former is excruciatingly unpleasant for about 3 hours and then you’re more or less free to resume some semblance of a vacation, whereas the latter is bad for days. (The First [and Second, and Third…] Vomit In Paris was a landmark, however, for being the first issue I’ve ever had with Indian food. Frankly, I don’t even understand where the nuts were (and certainly the waiter was playing dumb)–the palaak paneer? The side of basmati? The Chai? What kind of sane person puts nuts in any of those foods? Christ, even in Seattle–where if I recall correctly they would offer to put pesto into your Coke–they would never dream of putting nuts in that.)
In happier news, I sure am happy to see Charles Pierce with a regular blogging gig.
