"spicy" is just another relative term, I guess

After another long day slaving over a hot website, I gratefully accepted Raju's and Subho's invitation to join them for dinner in the evening. I was conscious that Subho had been below par for much of the day, and he asked as we were leaving the office if it was possible to find "other than spicy food" in Kochi. I thought of Gokul and its vegetarian delights as the obvious choice, on the basis that you could as spicy or as bland as you like. Imagine my surprise though when we arrived and, in the process of ordering, Subho says "Ah, chilli gobi - just what I need". I know my tastebuds are pretty "spicy" for a westerner and so I wouldn't think too much of chilli gobi normally, but after Subho's performance earlier I confess to surprise. Even more surprised was I when he polished it off and was satisfied that it was nice and "bland" for his needs. I told him that he was about to become part of blog lore and this is me keeping that promise.
