I grew up in a spicy area, Zubby! Kashmiri and Punjabi dishes are those with which I am most familiar, though there is always much to discover.
On the subject of bhindi, There seems to be some variation in how long the okra are cooked within dishes of the same name. My preference is always for them to retain a certain crunch after the currying process, yet the styles of certain eateries differ in this respect. Some places even batter them beforehand! |

Welcome to ANN, Heishi! I see that, regrettably, nobody welcomed you when you first introduced yourself, so it falls to me to rectify the oversight. Fun fact: you registered exactly 7 years and 1 day after I did. I see you've been posting at ANN despite the deplorable lack of welcome and I hope you continue to do so.

Well, thank you. I really appreciate it. I hope I have enough to describe myself here. I had to update this because I added Whiplash on my favorite movies list because I loved this movie! JK Simmons was THE reason to watch it, he is a beast in it! |

Hello hello!
I joined our fair forum on this very day, precisely nine years ago! With this in mind, I deem the occasion most apt to filing my own record here. I pray that you will permit the lateness with which it is submitted. Name: Stefan. (You would be forgiven for underestimating how frequently people decide to turn the ‘f’ in my name into a ‘ph’.) Sex: Male. Location: London, UK. (I rent a little room not far from the Thames, in a leafy peninsula wherein foxes and squirrels tussle with traffic.) Marital Status: In quantum-mechanical terms, you could say that I am occupying my ground-state. Age: I shall be twenty-eight in under three weeks’ time! Ethnicity: I am of Anglo-Polish descent. (For practical purposes, you may envisage this as being akin to eating kielbasa with Colman’s mustard. A most appetising entente.) Blood Type: I believe it may have a ‘B’ in it somewhere. (But then again it may not.) Pets: As a child, I accidentally brought unto my pet goldfish a mortal shock when I submerged my finger in its bowl. (That evening, I was convinced it would haunt me in retribution, and I am grateful to this day that it did not.) Drink/Smoke: I shall gladly partake in the consumption of fermented beverages during Christmas, but my regularly-ingested fluids are of quite a watery constitution. Conversely I greatly dislike the practice of imbibing smoke. Likes: Avocados are most palatable, albeit somewhat expensive in this day and age. (Waterfowl are naturally to my liking too. Not in a culinary sense though.) Dislikes: As much as I try to envisage situations from perspectives aside my own, I do grow quite disgruntled when slow walkers impede my path. Much am I loath to decelerate. (I may not be especially busy, but I do like to walk with quite a pace!) Favourite Anime: At present, my favourites are Metropolis, Voices of a Distant Star, Five Centimetres per Second, Wolf Children and The Place Promised In our Early Days, amidst several others. (Can you guess which upcoming film I am excited about?) Favourite Manga: I have read exactly two manga to any notable degree. Yotsuba& and Aishiteruze Baby. (Are they my favourite? By default, perhaps they count as such.) Favourite Console Games: I hold a certain fondness for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and more recently for Gran Turismo 6 until it destroyed my overheating, second-hand games console. (Maybe some of life’s experiences are indeed made all the sweeter by their transience.) Favourite PC Games: Doom and its brethren once took my fancy more than anything especially cerebral, I am afraid to say. (I have weaned myself away from them however—slaughter for its own sake seems an improper source for my amusements.) Favourite Bands: Rubber ones. Favourite Authors: Why, our dear ANN writers of course! (And Daryl by extension.) Fun facts about Zin5ki:
Favourite Quotes: This excerpt from a war memoir, in which a garrisoned soldier battles to stay alert, has resonated with me for many years:
Photos: Here I am with my trusty, shoulder-dwelling lobster. Should this not appeal to you, perhaps you would prefer something a little more striking. |

Welcome to ANN, Zin5ki! As a newbie, it behooves me to pass on a few rules that will make your time here more pleasurable. First, Blood- is to be worshipped as a living god. The tangible aspect of this is that you are expected to pay him large sums of money on a regular basis. Plus, you may - at any time - be called upon to lay down your life for his, which you will be expected to with both dispatch and a smile on your face.
So have fun! |

Zin5ki, nice to know more about you. I wouldn't have guessed you are younger than I am (I am your elder by a full 4 months difference)

I think there's probably a better place to introduce yourself, but I don't mind. I recommend making an anime list so people can keep track of what you've already seen and make recommendations based off your tastes. ^^ It's what I did. I have quite the selection. Go check out mine and feel free to watch any in the "Seen All" section that I've rated "Good" or higher. I think you'll like any of them.

Howdy ho! (I do believe that is the correct greeting to use when introducing oneself to people born and raised under the American flag, but feel free to correct me on that.)
I have found myself occasionally posting on the ANN forums for quite some time now, but hitherto I have not taken the effort to properly introduce myself to the site and its users. My excuse for this highly imprudent behaviour? Well, mostly laziness... that, and the fact that I have a history of finding it somewhat difficult to fully expressing myself to people online. For that reason, I hope you will excuse any possible awkardness on account of my less-than-perfect communication skills. Now, with all that out of the way, let's get down to the real meat of this post! Name: Not important. Origin of user name: Don't ask... thirteen year old me wasn't exactly a paragon of naming skills, but I have grown quite fond of the name, and so I have decided to stick with it. Sex: Male Sexuality: Bi Age: 21 Ethnicity: Swedish Currently living in: Sweden Blood type: Don't have the slightest clue. Pets: A dog. He may be older than time, but that doesn't stop him from being the cutest thing in the universe. Likes: Lots of stuff Dislikes: Lots of stuff Favourite food: Gee, I don't know... I possess somewhat of an obssession towards sashimi, so I guess I'll have to go with that. Favourite anime: Berserk (1997), Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Macross Plus, Wolf's Rain, FLCL, Gankutsuou, Revolutionary Girl Utena, The Vision of Escaflowne, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Akira, pretty much anything by Satoshi Kon and Hayao Miyazaki. I'm sure there's stuff that I'm forgetting, but that is about the gist of it. And yes, contrary to what these choices may lead you to believe, I do watch quite a lot of recent anime, it's just that most of the shows/films that I genuinely love tend to be from around 1995-2004. Favourite anime of all time would probably be Trust & Betrayal. Favourite manga: Berserk, Vagabond, Planetes, Vinland Saga, Pink, Riverside, and Lone Wolf & Cub. Favourite movies: Ben-Hur (1959), Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Dead Man, Boogie Nights, Blade Runner, The Elephant Man, Mullholland Drive, Alien, The Thing (1982), Big Trouble in Little China, Evil Dead II, Ed Wood, Once Upon a Time in America, Reservoir Dogs, Almost Famous, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Brain Dead, Festen... and a whole lot of other great films. Least favourite films: Cool World and swedish film Sökarna are, as of yet, the only films to succeed in making me feel physically ill, so there you go. Favourite music: I like to think that I'm a fairly open-minded person in regards to music, but my favourite genres of music would probably be 70s progressive rock, psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, heavy metal, thrash metal, black metal, folk, new wave, alternative rock, sludge metal, doom metal, art rock and 70s glam rock. As of late, I've mostly been listening to Stevie Wonder, Kreator, The Beatles, The Who, Genesis, Brand X, Led Zeppelin, Kate Bush, Budgie and Kyuss. Favourite series: I, Claudius, Rome, Brideshead Revisited, The Sopranos, Rick & Morty, Black Adder, and Deadwood. Drinking/smoking: Never really saw the appeal of smoking, but I really do love to drink when in the company of friends. Especially red wine, which I find to be an absolutely delightful beverage. Favourite video/computer games: Final Fantasy Tactics, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, Persona 4, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, and Dragon Age: Origins. Favourite novels: Frankenstein, Dune, A Confederacy of Dunces, Steppenwolf, and The Buddha of Suburbia. Fun fact: Foreigners often think that I'm British due to my posh accent and above-average vocabulary. Not entirely sure if that really qualifies as a 'fun fact', but there you go... I hate to cut this short but I really need to get going soon, so I hope that this batch of information has given you a somewhat adequate insight into my person. And if not... well, I can always expand into greater detail at some other point in time. Happy to make your acquaintances!

XakonXIV - very nice to make your cyber-acquaitance and a belated welcome to ANN! I've seen many of the titles on your Favourite list and we clear share some opinions.
It's a real pity what happened in Sweden last night, though. (Sorry, couldn't resist!) |

Name: PlebianWeeb
Gender: Male Age: 25 Location: Belgium Marital status: In a relationship Religion: Atheist Drink/Smoke: Neither, dislike alcohol and smoking. Favorite music: Disney, Metal, Dancehall and Rock Favorite sports: I play baseball, I snowboard and surf. Favorite games: Shadow of the Colossus Favorite anime: TENGEN TOPPA GUREN LAGANN, One Piece, FMAB, Attack on Titan Favorite manga: Likes: All of the above Dislikes: All the negative aspects of anything that exists. Also, peanuts. Fun facts about me; I'm starting a youtube channel, I have 3 videos so far, all of them under 10 views. That's mostly because they're uninteresting gaming videos, I won't shamelessly plug my channel here because that's not why I registered. I might link it after a few years when I actually have decent content. I'm only mentioning it as a fun fact. |
