    That's too bad, Niamh. It stinks to lose nice neighbors. I have lost a great neighbor before, she was one of my closest friends.

    I thought you might have meant mince, Niamh, but then I thought maybe mice pies were actually some sort of delicacy in Ireland.

    yes traditionally it is served on a bed of blood pudding!

    (unlike mice pies which dont exist, black and white blood pudding does.)

    Damn i've made myself hungry for white pudding on toast with a poached egg.......

    I had the white pudding in a mixed grill. Rather, I had a weensy bite of it, and I completely ignored the blood pudding.

    Sorry, Niamh, I think it is partly a culture thing. In the States, the term pudding is exclusively used for specific type of sweet dessert.

    This is different from what you describe as a savory dish served alongside meats and such. If I remember correctly, pudding is also a term that can describe most type of desserts as well.

    Hey not diverting you all from the coffee discussions, I just had to share some wedding pictures. We were talking about significance of the colour red and henna for the Indian brides.

    Here is what a newly wed will look like -- This couple actually is a celebrity, but mostly the newly weds look like them. The brides do not wear such heavy saris all the time, but, as she is newly married she wants to look her best. Also, notice the henna painted hands. They are at a temple.






    Okay, now we can go back to coffee discussions

    Oh yes, she is an actress Aishwarya Rai (now Bachchan). The movie you are talking about is -- Mistress of Spices. She did play the lead role in that movie.

    Yes, that was the movie.
    She is very beautiful and i have seen the movie recently, that's why i remembered, because the movie was not that great.
