My position is that it is self-important and contrived, cloying and pretentious. You are welcome to borrow that if you like.

Thank you. This is all I needed to know. I will adopt that, or I may need to take a contrary position, just because. I will let you know.

Actually, the Mughlai region refers to a much wider swath of India than that. It is generally understood to describe a type of cuisine that finds its home from the Khyber, which links Pakistan and Afghanistan, clear across the Country of India, and into Bangladesh, and South to Tamil Nadu.

But thanks for trying.

Mughlai is still not a region, but rather a reference to the Mughal dynasty and their cultural influence. If you referred to a "Mughlai region" anywhere in South Asia, they'd look at you with a puzzled look.

Find me any significant historical, political or geographical reference to a "Mughlai region"?

Did I tell you that my first language is Urdu?

i was copying dtb. i am fairly sure she did it intentionally, so you actually double whiffed.

Are you describing Flower or the album?

So, Icky Thump. 8 our of 10 from Pitchfork. 3 out of 10 from Village Voice. I just don't know where to come down, and I don't have time to listen for myself.

An A- from AV Club. I'll buy it. FWIW, I would happily accept unsolicited fellatio from Meg. And possibly from Jack.

yeah, but you don't run in crust circles. taking a position on these guys is a real fine line for flower, and he still probably doesn't have his bearings set for the new pose. I feel for the guy.

Splendid. Be forewarned, though -- I learned from reading the NYT at the Starbucks that indie-darling Ryan Adams is *not* amused when you drunkenly shout out a request for "Summer of '69" during his shows.

He does have a hot red-headed girlfriend, though, so I guess that a lack of self-deprecation is a winning strategy after all.

It's not Julia Roberts, is it?

I saw Whiskytown once, and caught Ry-Ry on a good night. They were fantastic. Which makes me reluctant to ever see him again. Having seen one great show, I figure I'm due for either mumbling way-stoned Ryan or beligerent back-to-the-audience and gone-after-three-songs Ryan next time.

Regional cuisines
North India
Punjabi – Mughlai –
Rajasthani – Kashmiri –
Pahadi – Bhojpuri –
Benarasi – Bihari



Here

Generally, in the lexicon of cooking, the term "regional" is not necesssarily confined to geography. Another example would be "Mediterranean cuisine," which includes such foods as gyros or doner, a type of cooking that developed organically throughout the geographic area stretching from the Fertile Crescent to the Balkans.

Did I happen to mention that I have devoted some time to the study of cooking and cuisine?

Is there a joke I'm whiffing on here, or is this just incredibly dull?
