...moral lapse on animal testing of drugs that can fight aids and other diseases--I'm quite likely to be on the other side of the lunch counter. My vegan phase was great, but after three weeks I broke under the torture of a grilled-cheese sandwich (with bacon!). Chili and steaks and sausages weren't far behind. Ambivalent, I often still order the veggie plate...
...flat metal plate divided into sections, thalis are a traditional Indian meal comprised of vegetable curries, a lentil soup, Indian pickles, flat bread, a dessert and a crispy popadam. My Sindhi special featured a delicate green curry of walnut-sized eggplants flavored with cardamom, a spicy red concoction of chili and okra, and dry roasted pumpkin with ginger and cumin. The dessert was gulab jamun, two deep-fried balls of milk dough soaked in syrup. I finished off my meal with lassi, a frothy, sweetened yogurt drink flavored with rose petals. As I got up to pay the bill...
...wipe out the Maoists. I spoke to several young girls held prisoner in Nepalgunj jail accused of belonging to the guerrillas' political wing.

The grilled chicken, roasted red pepper, mozzarella, romano (their best seller at $8 or $15) was a bigger hit. A healthy dash of chive oil finishes it off and really helps bring together the sizable chunks of chicken breast, well-roasted red peppers and sea of melted cheese...
Gone is the era when a meal in a department store meant a scoop of chicken salad on a plastic tray in a room reminiscent of your grandmother's conservatory. These days, shoppers at Selfridges in London are feasting on roast duck, salmon ravioli and pumpkin chili cakes in the store's Premier restaurant, which has a nice view over bustling Oxford Street. At Harrods, the clientele in the Georgian Restaurant is tucking into terrine of foie gras with cèpes, fillet of red mullet and wild game pudding whipped up by a chef who used to work...
