oh my. I did not know this. I guess i have something in common with Kobe. At it sounds like wiki's actually talking about me:

Being able to buy it cheaply is another reason why manju have been famous and loved by Japanese people for a long time.

sadly, the curse of sushi is that price correlates with quality. so the places i recomend are expensive but you can thread carefully.

Not to mention that some of the sushi - uni, toro, awabi and hotategai come to mind - just tastes downright disgusting when not super-fresh, which of course translates to super-expensive.

All this talk about Alpana Singh being a snob ..... The bottle she is pouring on the cover of her book is in fact TWO BUCK CHUCK!!!

It doesn't have to be expensive to be good.

I like Mangrove Jack Shiraz at a desi dinner party--- yum yum and about $10/bottle

Whatever gets me sozzled quickest is what I like these days — a pint of strong lager chased by a triple malt whisky (the cheaper the better) — that’s just for starters, and then every kind of wine tastes good to me. Although I’d like to go for a meal with her and order a diet coke just for fun.

BandIndianGirl & Beige Siege get with eachother STAT!!

As I said before, Alpana’s book works and we weren’t even drinking wine!

Maybe after work today I’ll go down to the bookstore pick it up and then go over to the liquor store and get a six-pack of Fat Tire. Then Beige Siege and I can chat (discussing the finer points of the book), chug beer, dirty the keyboard with our Flaming Hot stained fingers and trade recipes on how to home brew bad Indian wine.

Re #15 Technophobicgeek:

Right on! I say props to the woman for ordering what she wants and being herself. I’d be far more impressed by this down-to-earth behaviour than someone getting carried away by a date ordering some crazily expensive wine. I totally agree with what some others have said — that would hardly impress me terribly .
