I have realised that the spice in food makes your taste buds go numb, so that you cannot discern the flavour/taste that a "non-Indian" tongue can. As a result, most of the non-Indian food tastes bland to an Indian tongue and hence the need to "Indianise" the food. Also, I believe that people here tend to enjoy the raw taste of vegetables, which I can never enjoy.

Quite true - eating habits are as distinct as culture and the hardest to change -- hence the need to Indianize ..
I am quite sure that whites would appreciate Indian food more if it were less spicy .. read non Indianized .
M_R ~ The menu in Indian Mc Donalds and for that reason all major food chains including Pizza Hut is different in India as compared to outside ..... I believe they have the Indianized version .
Reminded about it I recall in the Middle East , to appreciate local customs most of the food chains ... Mc Donald / KFC ... you name it were using halal meat ... I believe they adhere themselves to the local customs .....
I would prefer an aloo tikki to a soy patty any day .. maybe because I am more used to it ... blame it on the indian palate .
I think my hubby would agree with you guys.
However sometimes things just dont 'mix'. For example - I went to a dosa place once that had a 'shahi paneer - dosa'. Really. it doesnt work..lol
The non-indians that I know(and grew up with) always preferred spicier food than even I did. They want authentic food. Of course there are those that dont know Indian food beyond butter chicken. .haha.
Fido - i LOVED the indian mcdonalds mcveggie burger. I ate it every second day hahah.... i was so sad coming back that i brought back the menu with me
just as a memory. Plus it was neat to go to a restaurant that is so revered by the cool crowds in India, where as here its considered for young children.I can understand the need to indianize things,i just find it funny. Sometimes I find other food very bland, but there are distinct spices that match the foods that can increase the enjoyment of eating it (ie/ Pasta with more black pepper, or stronger herbs to bring flavours out.)

We have convection/microwave oven. If we are not in hurry time thn we coock the burger at covention at 250C for almost 10 min. (Flip it after 5 min.) If have to do it qick thn we use Microwave at high for 3 min. (Flip it after 1.5 min). Burger cooked in both ways taste good, coventionally cooked burger is always bit crispy. It applies to any burger availble in the market.

How credible is this inline information?
And how does more estrogen results into less testosterone?

Soy increases estrogen
Please go through some of the following websites from google.

I am no doctor but this is just from what I have read
An increase in Estrogen results in a decrease in Testosterone levels
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/149981.html
There are also other medical websites confirming this.
Please confirm this with your doctor as well.
