Why do England struggle to produce undisputedly great players?

Some of the Malaysian stuff I had was just glutinous sludge. Literally, that is exactly what it was.

Loved most of the savoury food over there, but dear god.

Yea and thats why Malaysia are dire at cricket too

Indian sweets are a mixed bag. Some of the south indian stuff is horrendous but the Bengalis know what they are doing.

I've found out in the last few years that we (Bengalis) have a lot in common with the French: lazy, bad employees, analytical and mathematical bent of mind, very creative with an excellent history in poetry art and culture, know about desserts

Cakes in Asia are horrendous. Just throwing that out there.

In fact sweet stuff from Asia on the whole is pretty terrible. Easily the worst bit of my trip to Malaysia earlier in the year.

Yeah agreed wrt South East Asian cuisine.

India has some fantastic sweets across the board.

With food like that, I'm surprised you are managing to stay sober for a month

Only bengali sweets tbh. Most of the rest is rubbish.

Could rename that thread to 'British Fine Cuisine' and I wouldn't notice the difference tbh

We don't exactly like eating sweets down south. We have our own variations of kheer called "Payasam", which is drunk instead. And it usually has raisins, cashews, almonds, pistachios etc in it. Its like a chewy drink.

I had a friend of Pakistan once who used to describe lassi as the Indian version of a Yop (for reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yop).

Says about all you need to know about both beverages really.

I know. Mallu here. Most of that stuff is just barely ok.

Also, how come anyone hasn't mentioned how awful the food in Chennai is yet? My trip there was absolutely horrid from a culinary perspective. And all other perspectives come to think of it. But most definitely from a culinary perspective.

I for one think jalebis are massively overrated.

There are multiple flavors of lassi. If you are **** talking Mango Lassi without trying it, you need a smack on the head.

I mean, it's the Indian version of Yop the same way Warne was Australia's version of Chris Schofield.
