I recently bought some poppadums aka pappads aka appalams aka North Indian pappads aka South Indian pappads aka poppadoms aka poppadums aka pappadams aka whatever.
I think I've managed to learn how to fry them correctly in oil (that is, very very quickly). Now I wonder what you are supposed to serve them with? They didn't quite work well when served with nothing.
I'm guessing no one knows, but I hope I'm proven wrong.
Any food item that expands more impressively than popcorn when cooked is worth a thread in any case.
>They didn't quite work well when served with nothing.
yyyhyyy.....
At the very least ulundhu appalam (some of the spicier papad are often stuffed with equally killing vegetables) are actually intended to be a side-dish to be served with a main dish, e.g. the various curries or rice dishes. Very popular in the western hemisphere are papad with chutney or the somewhat dubious papad/tomato raita combination.
Whoa, Bubu giving cooking advice? This feels a bit like getting advice on how to take care of injured birds from Psaiyan...
>yyyhyyy.....
Well, the packaging did say they work as snacks too.
Thanks in any case, I'll see if I can improve my mad poppadum skills to the point of them actually tasting good.
Do you Scandinavians all know each other in real life or something?
Most of the ones that frequent wakachan do. Just lurk in #iichan and it would feel as if you are in a scandinavian bar somedays, minus the aquavit.

well, Alexander asking for cooking advice is like Kekkonen asking for cute-kitten-petting advice. Also that advice didn't come from my mouth, I hopped over to Lal Raos (bossmaster of JAIPUR JESTER ROYAL RAJ TREASURE TOMB down the road) to ask...

ironically, this is pretty much the only internjet I frequent where I don't know everyone in real-life, so no.
Also, even though it's unclear which is the correct term in English (since bastardisations can become official), the term "Nordic" is a better term for the Nordic countries. Scandinavian geographically refers to either Sweden/Norway or Sweden/Norway/Denmark. In the local languages "scandinavian" frequently has this same, limited meaning.
"Nordic", on the other hand, refers to Denmark/Finland/Iceland/Norway/Iceland and (rarely) even the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
In short, if you want to include Finland, "Nordic & (the) Nordic Countries" are the preferred terms - at least if you ask me, that is. ; )
The official term for that is "fennoscandinavian" or "fennoscandian".
I thought you lot were talking about popodums????
Nordics need spicy Indian cooking to stave off the long winter chills.
I thought the correct term was "crotobaltoslavonian".
>I thought the correct term was "crotobaltoslavonian".
I can truthfully say that I've used the variation "fennocrotobaltoslavonian" on some occasions (obviously only when I've wanted to include Finland and not use the wrong term).
Bah, let's just call them all vikings.
>Bah, let's just call them all vikings.
I hate you, but you still win.
I prefer "Scandawhovian".
