I've never had came milk but in all honestly I would be willing try. From all reports it seems to be higher in protein quality and the taste could not be all that bad. I have had goats milk and I was a bit reluctant but it tastes amazingly rich and sweet. I'm a bit cheese fanatic so if camel...

I've had jackfruit too and I must agree in not yet hanging too well with the smell. It does not smell all that bad but it gives a queasy kind of feeling. Sad to say I would not find myself buying one to say take home and try to pare it up for consumption. I simply would not know where to begin...

All in all I know Indian food tastes perfectly well with their mix of seasonings and spices. I think I would be willing to try a great variety of food stuff done with Indian cooking skills. That does not mean I'm all the way bizarre yet. My lady friend is asking me about trying snake, but I'm...

@Elizabetonth You would do extremely well in advertising/marketing. You were able to get me researching and trying to find this stuff in the US. My taste buds literally felt like they were dancing as I read your description of jalebi. I have never had it but now, because of you, it is surely on...

I don't particularly like tofu and that has prevented me from trying many tofu dishes I've come close to. I have seem curried tofu and not just in India. It is kind of international by now. I know quite a number of seventh day Adventists who enjoy this meal because they say it's flavorful while...

I was hoping to come back and get some more information on the color coded milk:D. I'm trying to research it online but nothing there much either. I've also heard of camel milk and I heard it's very good and not fatty at all. I would like to try to at least say I know the flavor it has. I'm...

I absolutely agree. The world we live in callas for action like that. Alienation is no way forward. Judging and criticisms of other people culture can only lead to a less satisfying world and limited opportunities. Ignorance is not bliss. I also do not believe in imposing one's culture and...

I'm totally in with the people who think of the food too. Nowhere else in world mixes spices as well as Indian dishes. I've had the joy of watching the preparations and then tasting various dishes and the amazement still lingers. Early in my life I only thought Indians were great at curry, but...

I've never tried the milk in India, mainly because I'm not milky kind of guy. I don't recall seeing a color-coded scheme though but it would very interesting to find out what they mean. Maybe milk from different animals like goats, sheep and cows milk. I'm just assuming. It would be nice to get...

I also agree that every meal in India has its own experience of flavors mixed together. I find interesting that India made hot and spicy into a cool thing. Curry comes to mind because it's very popular around the world, but when you get real Indian means incorporating other herbs and spices like...

While every country has their own culture and colors and smells and noises as laid out by @Sheba, India stands out because they somehow make all these traits seem much more alive than most cultures do. The language itself is so colorful and seems to blend in everything like food, music, dress...

Curried goat is a fantastic dish if you get it cooked the right way. I know goat meat to be called mutton and lamb meat is simply that - lamb. I've had lamb before , well seasoned in a kebab style but I did not really enjoy it as it was tasty but more on the chewy side so I had achy jaws and...

First thing thing that comes to my mind is Diwali - The Festival of Lights. It comes to mind mainly because my first travel to India was with an Indian friend of mine living in the US. We had regular visits to Diwali celebrations in the US before he decided it time to take a trip to his...

I think @amelia88 is also right about it depends where you will be traveling when you go to India. @briannagodess has noted some pretty good established stores also. There are markets that you will be able to find all sorts of herbs and spices. If you have difficulty finding everything under...

I'm not an expert on 'overcoming shyness' but I can tell you that early in my life I was more reserved than shy. I was usually the last to speak and I sat at the back of everything from classes to church. Traveling helped to build my confidence and I know other people who have had the experience...
