    I had some Bangladeshi food tonight for dinner and it is some of the best stuff I have ever eaten? I have never tasted anything like this before. The exotic flavors used in the cooking are breathtaking. Has anyone else tried Bangladeshi food before? If you have, please tell me of a good Bangladeshi restaurant in Houston.

    never even heard of authentic bangladeshi food. is it like indian food, or more middle eastern? i love me some good Persian food, but i'm half Persian, so i'm probably a little biased.

    thai food has become my recent addiction.

    Same here, I've sampled just about every thai restaurant in the Houston area.

    If you want some good Persian food in Houston, check out Kasra on westheimer (right next to Yao's restaurant.) Damn good food.

    Yeah, I don't know what Bengali food is either. I always see Bengali cooks cooking standard fare pakistani/north indian food.

    Kasra is also my favorite persian restaurant, followed by bijan and darband kabobi.

    This food was actually homemade. They did have fish items, but I could not eat the fish because the fish was boned. From what I understand, the fish they eat in Bangladesh are not the same fish we eat here. Apparently, fillets are not common in Bangladesh. They actually de-bone the fish in the process of eating, which is not something that I am able to do.

    Fish with bones are the best! Ask your cat to show you how it is done.

    Have you ever eaten fish at a Chinese restaurant? For the most part, it comes with the head, tail and obviously, all the bones inside. it's REALLY good. :)

    The head is the best part. My relatives will often argue over who gets to eat the fish head.

    So educate me on how to eat a bony fish. Is there a technique to it? And exactly what part of a fish's head would you eat? If I am not mistaken, there isn't much meat on a fish's head.

    I assume Bengalis eat with their hands, so I don't see why you would need a technique.

    Being Bangladeshi, I can second Aggie's testimony on the food. Staple food is rice, lentils, and fish. Good sh*t.

    You'd think a fish eyeball would be rather soft........but there's something like a cherry pit inside of it. I went out with a Chinese co-worker in NYC and told him that I'd eat anything he would. Interesting night. Spicy, crispy squid is NOTHING like fresh fried calamari. Judging by the flavor, I have to assume that they through the squid on some deck out in the sun and let them rot----errr, I mean......dry in the sun for a week or two. Then they roast them slowly until most of the moisture is cooked out, and then they cover them with some sweet sauce--that isn't spicy in the least. Like I said, interesting night....
