On Saturday, I am going to eat at a restaurant that serves Nepal types of dishes, Don't know what to expect, but looking forward to tasting food from this country.

1. Makes you feel like you are on top of the world.

2. Yup... lots of Indian and Thai cross-over influences. You'll probably like it.

Here's a menu from a popular Nepalese restaurant in nearby Boulder, CO that might give you some ideas

9. I like the menu

I can go for that type of food. Up until now, all I heard was to eat the dumplings. I am looking forward to a new food experience.

4. Yep. There was a movement of refugees after the 2015 earthquake

There are a couple of food trucks started up in my neighborhood parking lots.

Is it a buffet style or off the menu? Are you alone or with a group?

5. I spent a month in the Winchester, UK, area, back in the 1990s.

The group that I was with went to a Nepalese restaurant once a week -- wonderful food!

I found the food to be a blend of Chinese and Indian foods. Rice dishes, naan-like breads, spicy and flavorful. I wish I could find another back home.

6. What kinds of spices?

These days "spicy" tends to mean loaded with hot peppers. Since I cannot eat hot peppers, that cuts off a lot of foods for me.

I like "spicy" when it includes spices such as ginger, herbs, and other seasonings. Antyhing on the Scoville scale of heat is NOT on my menu.

7. I hate spicy hot food!

In my memory, the food at the Gurkha Kitchen was spicy flavorful! I would not have such pleasant memories if the food had been anywhere on the Scoville scale.

8. I know - but with Creole, Tex Mex, and Szechuan, hot peppers seem to have taken over

One of the reasons I am asking about the Nepalese food is that my husband and I will be traveling in the UK later this year. I know they have a different blend of ethnic foods than I have access to here in the American South. While I would like to try various foods, I do not want to end up regretting being adventurous.

I'm not allergic to hot peppers, just very sensitive to them and eating them is unpleasant for me for days and days - not something to have to deal with while on the road.

10. If they have momos, go for it.

They are delicious. They are a sort of dumpling. yum yum. I've had Tibetan and Bhutanese and I'm sure Nepalese will be similar and delicious.

11. Didn't go for Nepalese food on Saturday

It was cold with a foggy wet drizzle falling. To use a East Texas phrase, roads were "slick as snot". Wrecks everyhere.

So we stayed on our side of town and ate at Aqua Azul, my favorite Mexican sea food restaurant, in Grand Prairie. Grilled tilapia with garlic sauce and shrimp diablo. Served with their house rice which has chopped Spanish chorizo and tiny shrimp in it plus a slice of grilled garlic bread. Always good food at this place.
