Indian Chemistry

Indian food is delicious because it combines ingredients whose flavors have little or nothing in common, the opposite of Western methods.  Kudos to the folks who thought of doing science to analyze why it is so yummy.  The flavor pyramids are fascinating.  Also, has anyone else noticed the mushrooms are Pagan?

Okay, that works.  I am now trying to figure out if I can get my internal database to run backwards and match foods for minimum overlap instead of searching for little bits that hook into each other like when I put the Earl Grey into the white peach ice cream.

*giggle* Of course the mushrooms are Pagan - the vast majority of the organism is invisible!

Also some of them can work magic. So can other plants.

Hell, now I want to see a study about the overlaps between other medicinal and entheogenic plants to see how the lines go.
