After drink, Englishman abroad welcomes plug for Indian food

Usage examples of poppadom.

I order a pint of lager, two poppadoms, an onion bhaji, and a gin and tonic.

Space Corps towels were famous for two features: firstly, they were as thin as damp poppadoms and about half as absorbent.

They were having an intense and appropriately heated discussion on the problems of cold-spots (as evinced by the fact that their first attempts came out looking like braille roundels), and on the unfortunate instability of three poppadoms balanced together - caused not so much by the jerk they received when the turntable started up as by their movements while they cooked and swelled - but eventually my flatmates settled on the concept of standing the things up individually on the glass turntable, and so instigated what they termed a 'brain-storming session' in an attempt to find a suitable support mechanism.
