Box copy is full of lies.

To switch things up at lunch, I bought a box of Truly Indian’s Aloo Matar, which is, according to the back of the box, ‘the paragon of authenticity’.

It smells like Chef Boy-Ar-Indian and sort of looks like it was ejected from Satan’s asshole. Blech.

Should I eat it? Please support your case with reasons why this should or should not be ingested.

    Yes, so you have a work-safe point to compare flavors to rather than using the phrase “dead chippendale dancer bung.”

      I feel that dead chippendale dancer bung is totally work appropriate if it’s a valid flavor comparison.

    if you’re anything like me, (which, i’m guessing you’re not – you’re totally awesomer) you get raging, mega-huge migraines if you skip meals (so, no anorexia for me) and wind up barfing as a result of said migraine.

    welcome to my tuesday afternoon. yesterday was a fun day.

    Just eat it. Avoid the migraine barfs. If you barf, you’ll know it’s because you ate the food. haha….

      I get headachey nausea dizzy-spins when I don’t eat. I forced a couple of bites down to avoid said headachey nausea dizzy-spins, but it was truly nasty, and if my stomach could talk, it’d be screaming “WHAT DID YOU JUST DOOOOOOOOOOO???!”

    Please eat it, it is difficult to convey a cautionary tale unless you actually go through with the dangerous action.

      Cautionary tale: It is disgusting and now my stomach hurts but if I hurl, I’ll have to look at the part I didn’t throw away again.

    Welcome to the world of Indian cuisine. Now stop be a pussy and get it eaten!

    Oh, and put some toilet paper in the fridge overnight – you’ll be glad you did come morning…

      I normally like Indian. This? This was not Indian. This was chundersludge.

      1. lemur68 April 2, 2008 at 11:48 pm

        Chutneysludge.

          No, no, chutney is delicious. I cannot associate it with the filth that is ‘Truly Indian’.

      2. kettle_whistle April 3, 2008 at 12:03 am

        Hmm, now I am intrigued. Indian food is pretty much considered British cuisine by the average joe here – figure that out.

        *notes down ‘chundersludge’ for future reference*

          It’s pretty clear why the Brits would be eager to claim any cuisine other than their own. 😉

          *boils everything*

          Would you like some branston pickle with that?

    i’m glad you slurped it down. challenge is good at lunchtime.

    1. admin April 2, 2008 at 9:49 pm

      I’d prefer to be less challenged in the future.

    It’s called Aloo Matar. How can it be good?

    1. admin April 4, 2008 at 9:11 pm

      Sadly, you’re right. 🙁 🙁 🙁
