sounds like a slug? bengalis like eating slugs? ewwww

[color=magenta]no it isnt slug, sometimes its made from mangoes, its called "sorti" bu it isnt insects of nothin come on someone bengali help me out here[/color]

[quote="Exquisite"][color=magenta]no it isnt slug, [/color][/quote]

ok dear.

I believe u :roll:

[size=7]enjoy your slug[/size]. :twisted:

[color=magenta]seriously we dont eat slug, its like this chutney thng somethng called bori, plz someone help me[/color]

Do people even eat slugs ? :shock:

Sorti,is it quite dark in colour deep brownish red? It comes in sheets the size of a paan leaf or bit bigger and it;s kind of sweet in taste? That's made of mango as far as i know, and there's a type made from tamarind usually used in cooking. The mango one is norm eaten without cooking. Lots of pregnant women swear it's good for you. I think it's quite nice. In fact you can get this stuff in supermarkets in dried fruit section if u look hard enough, but it'll cost a lot and won't be as good as the bengali stuff.

It also comes in a string like form, like sour string sweets. I don't really like that form of it. It tends to be a bit more bitter.

As for Bori..do you mean bor-roy? Black dried berries of some sort? when you bite into them they're deep red? Often bitter sweet and used in fish curries as a delicacy. An acquired taste i'm not mad about these but i can eat them if forced. Again preggy bengas crave for this one...my sis did she'll kill me if she knew i'd told u guys loool.

P/s The French prob eat slugs they eat frogs afterall.

[color=magenta]yesssssssssssss,i love you soooooooooooooo much sis, thank you u described it perfectly, i love it ever so much thank you for such a fantastic description[/color]

np 😃 love you too sis!

Tenga and bor-roy yes, we got a suitcase full of that when we came from back home. Very cheap if you buy in bulk. It looks disgusting and is very strong in taste, people who eat it first time won't like it. I've got some if anyone wants it.

What's sorti?

[color=magenta]yeahhhhhhhhh, i want, i want, iv been dying for some, i remember we in school we used to mke tenga chutney n hav it in school.

Sorti, is made from mango, basically they mash the mangoes up,n they spread it out on a flat surface, n leave it to dry when the first layer has tried they put another layer on n carry it on for a few times, its that thng that looks like floor tiles, wiv so many layers you can peel off, its more sweet tasting,

last time we went back home we had a whole luggage full of it, n staff at heathrow get freaked n only let us tke a bit back [/color]

exquisite you're very bengalifyed arent ya?

have you spent significant time in desh or summat cos you quite into your stuff innit.

I dunno what the hell your on abt so am gonna let the other bengalis talk to you abt rotting mangoes, eating black slugs and breaking the law by engaging in a smuggling ring :twisted:

[color=magenta]lolz every bengali knows hootkey, whther or not they like is another thng you should see my mothers friends when someone gts hootkey they all crowd around it, but it takes alot of hard work to do, drying the lil fish, n we didnt smuggle anythng, they say somethng abt foreign goods n their limits dad was annoyed i found it hilarious daddy got a fine[/color]

lool i reckon she's into her bengali stuff as Bro Med said, but she perhaps doesn't realise. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You love your food, your culture nowt wrong with it, it's not going against your faith 😉

hootki as exquisite calls it is bombay duck brother Med.

Oi muslimbro you a benga or what sorti also known as sorta. Bori also known as bor-roy. My bengali isn't great but i;m good at translating things lool.

I might want to warn you, that Med loves our food and he lampoons it aswell

[quote="(*_Shazan"]I might want to warn you, that Med loves our food and he lampoons it aswell[/quote]

that is a blatantly unashamed unslander on me :twisted: .

You take it back right now Shazan.

I dont dont like bengie food - its all rumour with substance I tell you.

(just had some paan masalah - maybe Im being negatively efffected hence my random post :oops: )

[quote="Exquisite"][color=magenta]yeahhhhhhhhh, i want, i want, iv been dying for some[/color][/quote]
It's not free you know 😉

Tip for ya: next time cover it up properly so the smell don't come out.

[quote="yashmaki"]Oi muslimbro you a benga or what sorti also known as sorta[/quote]
I'm very picky when it comes to food so I don't know some of the names you do.

Hootkey or Shootkey - I occasionally like eating it with aloo (potato) and mus (fish).

[quote="Exquisite"][color=magenta]no it isnt slug, sometimes its made from mangoes, its called "sorti" bu it isnt insects of nothin come on someone bengali help me out here[/color][/quote]

omg! I proper love that stuff! my auntie sent some over from BD with my mum and dad! its really nice but does anyone get a toothache after eating it? i do...its quite sticky and gets stuck in my teeth

Med, stop calling it slugs! ur really putting me off! i wont be able to eat it again! slugs really make me heave! eew!

can you explain to me why bengalis like to eat slugs? Is it because they are present in great abundance in the rivers, lakes and waterways of the homeland and hence are readily and easily available.

Imagine going to a deshis house and being offered a plate of greasy thick black slimy slug.

nassty. :twisted:

Ewwwwwwww!

People actually eat slugs?!

Ther so slimy and ugly!

Yuk!
