[CH] Vehicle for Dave's, and cilantro yet again

Finally got resubscribed to this list after a small hiatus... I wondered
what was missing from my life :)
Anyway, a couple of things... First up, I've found the perfect medium for
eating Dave's: Patak's Brinjal pickle. It covers the burnt cat flavour very
nicely, and the spiciness really does fantastic things with all that heat.
Tried it out one day when I needed a fix but wasn't quite up to Dave's on
bread by itself. This stuff is fantastic even without chile augmentation, I
only wish I didn't have to travel 100 miles to the only place that sells it.
Hey cool, I've started sweating round the eyes just from thinking about
Dave's! The sympathetic nervous system is a truly amazing thing.
Secondly, I've been bravely eating fresh cilantro at every opportunity, and
I'm happy to report that you do indeed get used to the stuff. I can't quite
say that I really like it yet, but I can certainly appreciate that it's a
necessary part of an awful lot of foods, so the genetic-cilantro-haters myth
definitely goes out the window.
