Curry is the devil.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

So, I woke up this morning after midnight with my throat ON FIRE. I was nauseous. It felt like there was acid bubbling up and every time I'd cough, it would get worse. And it was difficult not to cough. I took a few pills, drank soda, tried everything. It was terrible. I was up and down all night. Went to work this morning and stayed an hour. So now I'm home. Apparently I'm one of those people incapable of eating curry. Not that what I had was very impressive, so I don't think I'm going to mind never eating it again. So I'm home sick. What are you up to? :evilgrin:

3. Oh, my.

Maybe you're allergic to it. I love curry-it's never done me wrong.

5. This is what happens when...

You trust a Bangladeshi make your Indian food. :evilgrin: (I already told her this to her face, and she laughed, so no one go getting all twitchy.)

10. You poor thing.

I love curry and hot food. If I had your G/I system I'd be very unhappy.

11. Acid Reflux Disease is terrible.

Although this is the first flare up I've had in a while. And I eat Pizza a lot. :shrug:

7. You can still have curry but you need to take an acid inhibitor first!

Or, you could just avoid curry. I'd rather be whipped.

8. The Curry chicken I had was not that great.

I could take it or leave it.

12. Thai curry? Indian curry? Japanese curry?

If Thai: Red curry? Green curry? Masaman?
If Indian: Vindaloo? Garam masala? ?

C'mon...you can't dismiss them all with one experience.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. No idea...

But the thing is if one effects me that way, don't you think they're all going to kick my ass?

14. No, because there are hot curries and sweet curries, curries made with coconut milk

and curries made without coconut milk. Some have peppers, some don't. Some are dairy, some are meat, some are vegan.

There's about as much similarity between Thai and Indian curries as there is between any two other foods with complex flavor profiles. :shrug:

20. There's really no such thing as curry, anyway

The British made up the word. Probably after misunderstanding "kari" a word for sauce, stew or gravy. Indian chefs rarely (if ever) use the word. ;-)

16. I don't think they have much in common.

Real curry comes in lots of different regional styles, each with its own mix of spices. Generic "curry powder" is only for Westerners who refuse to allow anything foreign in their kitchens.


Anyway, your reaction might have been to just one of the herbs in the curry. If that's the case, then there's a chance that curry prepared in a different style might not be a problem for you.

15. Eat some yogurt when you feel up to eating something.

That always helps when I have curry belly. Hope you feel better soon.

17. I thought you meant TIM Curry:

B-)

18. GOOD catch

19. Curry is good for you.

Wards off cancer. Wards off alzheimers. EAT IT!

21. How heavy was the cilantro?

I know a lot of people who get the same symptoms from it and some 'curries' go heavy on the cilantro.

22. You poor thing!

I can't imagine life without curry, all kinds, especially Thai. I eat curry dishes several times a week. It lets me know I'm still alive.
