My wife would'nt touch it with a bargepole, but I love it and iv'e drunk it all over India, and yes, it goes down very well on long train journeys. Alan
I too am a fan of chai, it's quite sweet but goes down well with a nice egg pattie or samosa from the Chai boy!!

I bought a box of 40 masala chai tea bags in Tesco yesterday - I prefer mine with milk rather than black. With all the spices it contains I am certain it is good for the metabolism and it makes a change from ordinary tea. I like it 
......, what is chai ?
Why do you think we Brits call tea - char?
It's one of the dozens of words that have been borrowed from Hindi and assimilated into the English language.
For example bungalow, jodhpurs, blighty etc.......
Here's a question for you - what is the origin of "blighty?"
Something to do with hindi or Urdu word Bilayati meaning foreign.....referred to as Blighty which was slang word used by British troops in WW1 ???
could it be the word blighty was what the soliders prayed for so they could get home and get treated.?
The Hindu word blighty means STRANGER.

I thought that "bungalow" was an british building term .
As in builders that ran out of bricks on a house and foreman says " well, bungalow roof on it then"

In Australia a bungalow is a shack or shed,my sister -inlaw lives in a 1 storey house
and would be really upset if it was termed as a bungalow

Iv'e also heard that builders term for bungalow, and also it's use to describe a well endowed but stupid man 
But the word is from India

Could also have been the samosa man! We used to get the most wonderful vegetable samosa - still hot. Mmmmmmm!

Never tried them, don't fancy that at all and I'm quite adventurous. After seeing them at markets all hanging in the sun, fat melting and full of who knows what... ehm.... no.
Did like the eggs though. Something I never eat in UK but would have for lunch a few times.... egg and chips with REAL potatoes cooked from scratch in high quality peanut oil! Delicious!

I had the true Goan sausage a few years back cooked on Palolem beach by a local, they were gorgeous, very similar to choritzo. The sausages served at breakfast are not the same type of spicey sausage, they don't look so good!!
