Spice? Nice!!

Lalasharni

I've found (for me at any rate) that a spicy/strong flavoured meal is far more satisfying than a plain meal, even if the calorific count is considerably lower. Has anyone else experienced this?

My absolute favourites:

Smoked mackerel salad
hot vegetable chili (made with onion,sweet potato and green beans)
Any vegetable curry
chicken Tandoori with a side of raw onion, chopped tomato and cilantro
Fish baked with Ras al Hanout
Heavy peppered steak

Even a roast Sunday lunch which I love does not have the same satisfaction value of any of the above.

Anyone else come in on this?
