Named for the Punjabi village of Nakodari, where Glaswegian restaurateur Johnnie Ginda says the dish was invented, it’s one of the most unusual Valentine’s Day dishes I’ve ever seen.  It’s a combination of two potent aphrodisiacs, guaranteed to get your significant other’s pulse racing.  It’ll also probably get their nose running, their forehead sweating, and their mouth burning.  It’s a chocolate and curry combination!

The dish is actually hot king prawn and chocolate curry, with a side of chocolate and strawberry naan bread.  The chocolate curry was perfected by Ginda’s grandfather, and has been passed down in the family for some 35 years before it landed on the menu at Mr. Ginda’s restaurant in Dennistoun, Scotland.  I’d imagine it took a lot of work to get that flavor combination to work.

While I like the idea of spicy chocolate, I’m not so keen on the idea of king prawn and chocolate.  It doesn’t seem like a combination that will work as well as, say, chicken would.  Then again, I don’t like prawns.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
