Arthur Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So, you're just about to have lunch at the hotel, to be shortly followed by two seven hour flights. Is the Seafood Vindaloo a wise choice? Discuss amongst yourselves, I'll give you a definitive answer tomorrow...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 A definite 'No' I would have thought! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Can the seafood be tasted through vindaloo sauce? You do not mention where you are. If the hotel is The Dorchester or Claridges, you might be ok, but if it is The Deevana in Phuket you may wish to refrain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Having once endured a relatively short flight in the near vicinity of an unknown 'someone' suffering pretty extreme intestinal gas problems, I'd go for asking your fellow passenger's of their opinion on the vindaloo advisory.

Is the Seafood Vindaloo a wise choice? Discuss amongst yourselves, I'll give you a definitive answer tomorrow...... We don't have enough data to decide. The other options might be even worse. But given that it is 7-hour flights, I would expect to get fed on the plane and, as grim as airline food can be, would probably give the vindaloo a miss.

Arthur Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well, thanks for the considered discussion chaps, most enlightening. Now home after a journey approaching 24 hours in total. The hotel was a small 4 star hotel in Mauritius where the food had been very good so I approached the 'experiment' with a degree of optimism. Bit of a Mars/Venus thing going on, my wife had a salady/fruity kind of lunch, Seafood Vindaloo for me despite her incredulity, 'you're not really going to have that are you'. It's a man thing. Result, total success......almost. Have to say that after a journey of 6,000 miles, I did have 'the pedal to the metal' for the last couple of miles...... So, wise choice? This time, yes, but, you're playing with fire, bit like Russian Roulette, one day there'll be a bullet in the chamber, Your Choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah, long journey in total. 3 hours between leaving the hotel and take off, 7 hours in the air, 4 hours between flights at Dubai, 7 hours in the air again, 3 hours Gatwick to home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'm not sure that playing Russian Roulette in that way would be appreciated by my digestive system. But, each to his own I suppose. I tend to take the view that if I treat it kindly most of the time, it will return the complement when I over indulge. However, I can get the almost immediate effects associated with dodgy prawn vindaloo by a far more simple eating choice - just by eating cheese, any cheese; but especially uncooked. Presumably the bacteria in cheese and my inner pipework do not get on at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lurker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 With cheese I am fine. But yoghurt does something similar to me; I've given up eating it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
