what the hell is a vindaloo? and is the "ring of fire" worth it?

Answer 1

Vindaloo is a popular Indian dish. It was first brought to Goa by the Portuguese and soon became a pleasing Goan meal often served during very special occasions. Historically this was a pork dish cooked with plenty of wine vinegar and garlic, known as "Vinha d'Alho", however it soon received the Goan treatment of adding plentiful amounts of spice and chili. Restaurants often serve this dish with chicken or lamb sometimes mixed with potatoes. Traditional vindaloos do not include potatoes, the discrepancy arising because the word "aloo" means "potato" in Hindi.

The dish has gained popularity in Britain, and has become a common fixture at Indian restaurants and curry houses. In colloquial English it is often referred to as a "Vindy" and is well known for its heat, being one of the hotter curries available.

I think it is yummy, but then I like really hot spicy food. And it doesn't tend to affect me too much!! :)

Answer 2

Vindaloo is a hot Indian dish, usually chicken or lamb. It is Portugese in origin but was spiced up a bit in India. The ring of fire is an area around the Pacific Ocean that has active volcanoes. It is also a song by Johnny Cash. As to its' worth, who knows?

Answer 3

A Vindaloo is a REALLY hot curry that only people who have eaten curry for years (like me, as I've been eating it since I was 6 years old, and I'm now 21) can eat.

I've never heard if the "Ring of Fire" when it comes to Vindaloo, but I have, whenever I've eaten one, dropped fire bombs.

Answer 4

A vindaloo is very hot curry. I'm sure what you mean by "ring of fire", if it means having your mouth full of extremely spicy food then that is probably it. If you like spicy food and can handle really hot food then go for it, but only if you are up to it.
