Naan bread? Learn the Hindi language, people!

What's that Lassie? A whole well of it?

That's very, very good.

Your effort was not wasted :-D

I like H(er) M(ajesty's) Lemonade

The sweetest times that e'er I spent were spent a-drinking lassis, oh.

Bang into lassi

Cup of lassi and some poori makes one hell of a breakfast!

Hopefully last day before i start saying “naan bread”

Fingers crossed. I will welcome you with a Top Gear themed party and a barbour jacket with your name picked out in diamante.

Are you getting a blue passport?

Thats like saying passport passport

Will you anglicise your name to Hammy?

Am not sure if congratulations is the right word as you become a member of a nation of intolerant bigots. But I do welcome your addition to our number as your presence will help dilute the cuntery.

Is that short for Gammony?

Oof. Hated that place. Happy shouting at people through plexiglass day.

In a pandemic, 'Home Office' is a bit like saying 'office office'.

@amey welcome to the fold, you damned crazy fool. Literally damned.

Lunar house, what a shithole. Took 10 years to process asylum application and get my Colombian passport pack. Welcome to the two passport club!!!

Enjoyed that, cheers.

thank @youramericanlover

Sort of interesting, but isn't it common knowledge that what is called 'curry' here is a poor approximation of the panoply of Indian foods? At least common knowledge to LRB readers.

On a divergent note, what are the prospects of getting decent fish and chips or cornish pasty in Delhi?

poor, I mean no way you can get that

masala fish and chips common in goa being coastal and gets lots of western tourists

it was sort of rhetorical, as I have visited a dozen times, but then again I have never been dumb enough to try and get 'english' food.

I didn't know a lot of it. And the LRB has a global readership so might be lots of uniformed readers and tastebuds. Even being a top academic at Yale doesn't get you access to Hullabaloo on Deptford High Street
