I loved having Indian take-aways on a Friday night in Liverpool, but it's so different in the real India.
You can get samosas in any pub in England today, pretty much. So, "Gunga Din" has come back.
Everybody tries so hard to pair wines with Indian food, and it has never been a natural marriage.
I eat only simple Indian home food - sabzi, roti, dal, chawal, ghee. There are so many benefits of having ghee. My grandmother is 84 and she is still fit and looks beautiful.
I love Indian food and Thai food; those are, like, my favorites. I also like Japanese and some Italian.
Everyone knows about hot dogs and the Big Apple. But for me, New York City street food is all about the Biryani Cart.
I think there is a real misconception about Indian food being super spicy. And I know that's because when you go into an Indian restaurant, it is pretty spicy. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, my husband can't handle a lot of heat. I've had to temper my cooking so that he can eat with me.
I really like rustic mediterranean cooking. And I like trying out curry takeaways.
I cannot starve myself. I'm a foodie! I make fabulous pastas, Indian food, parathas and club sandwiches!
I like Taiwanese food, of course. I like baguettes, especially the ones that my dad buys. Vancouver has a lot of variety, with pizza, hot dogs, Italian, Indian, seafood - a great combination of culture.
I am not a stickler for Indian food, but by the third day or so I start looking for something familiar to eat. I have travelled a lot, and I always try out local food.
A lot of people have this misconception that Indian food means heavy curries and complicated procedures.
One Indian-inspired favourite of mine is mashed potato mixed with lemon juice, breadcrumbs, coriander and chilli, shaped into patties, fried and served with chutney and yoghurt.
Everyone associates Hyderabad with biryani, so when I say I was born here, the first thing people ask is - 'When will you make Hyderabadi khana for us?' Whenever I make biryani, my friends come over.
I am a very bad cook. I can never make proper Indian food.
Indian food has been huge in the UK forever and ever, but that's because it has a historical rooting. America, I think is really ripe for it. There's been so much interest in Indian culture.
My late wife Olympia was Goan and I've been to India many times. I love the food there. We used to do our shopping in Southall, where you can find cheap but wonderful fruit like mangoes, vegetables and spices. I didn't do much of the cooking, as Olympia did a lot - I was the under-chef and did some of the chopping.
I'm a curry and rice girl.
Being a Punjabi, I like Indian food.
I need my fill of Indian home cooking.
I can make a mean Kachchi Biryani, and sometimes I bake it, too.
I was raised by the Indian community, and those families are still very close to us. We used to go to each others' houses one Sunday a month, so we got to know everyone well. Also, we love Indian food and can't get enough of it.
In the evening, we either go to the cinema or stay in and get a takeaway - my favourites are Chinese or Indian.
The food we ate was Indian, and both my mother and father were very deep into the ancient philosophy of India, so it could well have been an Indian household.
Every time you are on a tour you miss Indian food.
