Just a guess: the Philippines being an archipelago, they eat a lot of fish

Fish is awesome; especially Tuna! I eat soo much tuna I am a walking mercury repository.

I don't know how they don't get bored with it (they have it when they get home too). I realise each curry is different but it all smells the bloody same.

They sometimes do mix it up a bit with KFC (spicy) and Chindian (spicy) but most of the time it's curry, all washed down with tea sooo sugary it makes my teeth itch. Yeah, I tried it once. Must've had a full tin of that Rainbow muck in it.
The smell is from the cumin which is in practically every Indian dish. What's worse is if you order take-away pizza and the chef is from, well, India do not be surprised if it smells like curry as obviously it has cumin on it...

If you're ever stuck in a crowd of clean looking yet somehow still smelly Indian workers on the metro, this is why. The BO = cumin.

Here we go.

I don't really care. I mix it up between fruit shit and veggie shit and I quite like them. They're definitely good for me as the alternative for the last 10-15 years has been no breakfast. So it's an improvement.
