Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors | 
pickThis book is very much about British colonial history, because much of the development of curries (from Collingham's chosen perspective, at least) happened in reaction to British rule.
I haven't had a lot of curry, especially not traditionally cooked curries, so I sometimes struggled to imagine the dishes and tastes she was explaining, but now I have some new things to try.
Moving toward my second line in #BookSpinBingo!
I have seen this little train at Jai Vilas!
...for delivering after-dinner drinks and sweets: Then he pressed a button—and the train started. It is a lovely silver train, every detail perfect, run by electricity and has seven trucks—Brandy—Port—cigars—cigarettes—sweets—nuts—and chocolates. If you lift the glass lining to the truck or a decanter the train stops automatically. It is the nicest toy—and perfect for a State Banquet!
Hot spicy food was condemned as overly stimulating and likely to arouse dangerous passions and lusts.
1. We try and meal plan but usually the longest we can go between shopping trips is 3 days. We have a pint-sized apartment refrigerator and it hardly holds anything.
2. Ranch. That stuff is magic
3. Bake. My husband is the cook!
4. Usually at least fruit, but I like at things so often other things too
5. The tagged one. It's a history of the Indian subcontinent told through food. So good!!

Congratulations to @MaleficentBookDragon on hitting a fun milestone! #1234giveaway
It was tough but I‘m going with these four for my #tbr choices.
pick#riotgrams #foodthemedbook @bookriot I really need to reread this one because all I remember about it is that I loved it and that it's a history of the Indian subcontinent told through its cuisine. I don't actually remember the history though, so I've got to find a copy so I can reacquaint myself with it! 5 🌟
So much for not buying new books unless I had earned an Amazon gift card from Bing or Swagbucks to pay for it...🙄🙄🙄. I only had $1.31 in gift card funds left, but I purchased these 3 from the cooking-related & cookbook one day mega sale on Amazon right now. This history of Indian cooking looks particularly interesting. Adding it to the TBR, hopefully will be able to get to it soon! Http://TinyURL.com/Litsycookbooks
