Dudefood Tuesday: Green dude Curry

Can a macho dude act like a child? And if so,, when?
The answer is obvious. Of course he can! Especially when the new Star Wars movie is released.
No dude should be ashamed when he leaves the cinema and rehearses his light saber moves when he is walking to his car.
By the way, that’s not childish. It’s only the more proof that you can save the galaxy with your Jedi skills as well. Science Fiction movies are Dudey!
The same goes for action movies.
You’re not giving in on dudeyness, when you talk like Rambo for three weeks after seeing a good Stallone movie.
Yes, there are a lot of actors who earned the certificate ‘genuine Dude’ big time.
For example, take actors like: Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Statham Willis, Owen, Cruise etc.
Each of them earned a place in the ‘All times Dude gallery’.

The actors from India, on the other hand, do look a lot less Dudey. It’s hard to see those actors as real men with their eye shadow and lipstick.
And especially when they do their happy and gay Bollywood dances, they don’t strike me as typically male. I find it hard to value men with clean shaven legs as real dudes. And speaking of which: the thought I can’t shake of when I talk about shaven legs: ‘Will they shave their bums as well?’
Nope, Bollywood movies aren’t high on Dudeyness.
Indian cuisine, on the other hand, can be very, very Dudey.
Especially the Indian curries are a good example of Dude Food; refined, spicy and jammed with flavor.

When you have eaten a good curry, it’s best to keep a moist washcloth nearby during your toilet visit.
Maybe there is a reason why shaven legs (and buttocks) rule in India.
Because the last thing you want is to have a fur coat between the butt cheeks after eating a spicey curry. It will catch fire for sure…
Enough of the dirty talk, let’s cook!
A green curry with chickpeas and some braised chicken. Yummy!
