I wanted some ‘Bombay Mix’ urgently (next day)! For those of you unfamiliar with this comestible, this is a savoury Indian snack with nuts, crisp vermicelli, sultanas, and the like.
I now sit here scoffing this dangerously addictive, widely-available, over-the-counter product, in the knowledge that in the wrong hands (actually MY hands), this stuff is deadly.
I have just consumed almost half a 200g bag in the space of 2 minutes, and am SO relieved I did not purchase the ‘PHATTAKA’ option from Amazon, since its name gives a clear indicator of its potency level in terms of chilli content.
In fact I am not a hardened addict, and have sufficient self-control (at the moment at least) to avoid the slippery slide to 100% reliance.
I still have insight! Thank God!
