Fenugreek - Fun food for fragrant fabulous fucking

[raulgmanzo]

I use fenugreek (methi) in seed, and powder form now and then in cooking. It is very healthy, a reputation for improving sexual function in men, treating arthritis and improving lactation in women. It also tastes quite nice in a variety of dishes.

 

So while shopping on Devon Ave ( maybe the best Desi/IndoPak restaurant/shopping area in America ) I was excited to buy a pile of very inexpensive fenugreek greens and did a bunch of experimenting. Stir fries, soup, chicken, you name it.

 

Anyone who has cooked with fenugreek may have noticed that at certain temperatures it emits a maple syrup smell. But what I didn't realize until ingesting so much recently and engaging in some vigorous sexual activity is that it can make ones perspiration (and urine actually) smell a bit like maple syrup. Isn't food fun?

 

Though I suppose everyone in New York already knew that about fenugreek.

Justaguy,

 

Last summer Raul re introduced me to Indian cuisine. Can you recommend any good (not fancy) Indian restaurants in DC we might go to this coming weekend?

 

Thank you

It’s not in DC but close if you have a car. Dishes of India: http://www.dishesofndia.com

 

It’s not fancy, but the food is excellent and the service is superb. The rogan josh is one of the best renditions of this dish I’ve ever had. They won’t tell me what’s special about their recipe. I’ve tried a few times to duplicate it. Close but not the same. The assorted bread basket is a lot, but what you want for a group and the breads are excellent. A mango lassi to wash it all down with the way to go.

One of the best Indian restaurants on the aforementioned Devon Ave, Udupi Palace, has a branch/affiliate called The Indian Kitchen in Tahoma Park.

Great food and metro accessible. Definitely try the palak chaat - flash fried spinach with some crazy mix of yogurts and chutneys. It's what everyone raves about.

Indian Shmindian, much as I LOVE Indian food I don't think DC is the place for Desi dining.

 

BUT Ethiopian is a different story. Washington D.C. may have the largest Ethiopian community in the U.S. and is known to have some great Ethiopian eateries.

 

I think U st and 9th will be a must visit along with Silver Springs and South Arlington someday if I have time.

Think I'll post a separate thread asking about some other suspected locations in DC

I'm definately giving this a try! Any effect on the taste of cum? Like pineapple juice is purported to have?
