[CH] Parrots and chiles - also a CH-related advert

Hi Max,

You'll have to get La Guacamaya hot sauce, which is a good, not so hot sauce
of - what were they? chilacate peppers? - and lemon.  Delightful, tangy
taste, but the best part in your case is that their label shows a large blue
and yellow parrot holding a chile in its claw in great glee.  It comes in
little bottles, but try to get the big plastic restaurant bottle so you can
have the largest parrot picture.

If I've got any of this wrong, I'm sorry.  We ran out of the last of our
Guacamaya some time ago and I haven't found a seller who would import this
to England.  

In other news, has anyone seen the new Vindaloo-Flavour Pot Noodle adverts
currently running in the UK?  A typical one shows two guys racing down a
hall in slow motion, kind of like Chariots of Fire.  One of them falls, the
other reaches his goal, which is the toilet.  The accompaniment?  Johnny
Cash and "Ring of Fire".  The pack shot of the noodles is captioned "Vinda"
and a picture of a toilet (called a "loo").  Can't imagine that this stuff
is edible but the commercial is nice.

Cheers,

Virginia
