Related to the cooking thing.. imo it fits very well on a flamenco forum. Food is very important in Spain as well as talking about it. It's probably the #1 conversation in spain... Right up there with Spain, in terms of the importance of food, are Malaysia and Singapore. I have spent many years living and working in Malaysia, and some of us foodies would argue that Malaysia and Singapore have the finest food in the world, in terms of taste and variety. Culture has something to do with it, as Malaysia and Singapore are a microcosm of Asia, with populations consisting of Malay, Chinese, and Indian. Each brings its own food to the table, but in many cases it has been influenced by the others. And then there is "Nonya" food, which is indigenous "Straits Chinese" food, a category in itself. The Straits Chinese were the original Chinese who settled in the areas of Malacca and Penang, and they intermarried with local Malay women. Their food is exquisitely delicious. As one who has played his guitar until the early morning hours, while sitting on the sea wall at Malacca (the old 15th century Malay entrepot, later taken by the Portuguese), after a night of eating and drinking with friends, allow me to join the "Flamenco Eating Society." Cheers, Bill
