One of the capital mistakes of my life thus far is eating Mexican food in Glasgow, Scotland. Never again!

Amusingly enough, I have been told by several people that the Indian food is better in England than it is is India. The reason is because not only does the UK have a lot of citizens of Indian/Pakistani origin… the quality of the ingredients they work with is actually better than you’d find in India. It does make sense when you think of it that way.

Are you sure you don’t get better Indian food in India? :) I didn’t pick Mexican… Shabbir did. If it was up to me, I would have eaten somewhere more regional. I think he wanted to show me that Dubai was so filled with foreign culture that it even had a Mexican restaurant.

Heh, for some reason the Arab gentleman in traditional dress with a winter athletic jacket over it got a chuckle out of me.

… and a Mexican restaurant? That’s like eating at McDonald’s when overseas. :-) Last time I went to England with my friend Louie, our last night in Manchester was spent at an Indian restaurant. We COULD have eaten somewhere else, but hell… you don’t get better Indian anywhere else. :-)

There was a point to that last paragraph, but I seem to have misplaced it.
