Something dear to the hearts of all British DMfM readers, is no doubt Indian cuisine.

For those of you in the US, still labouring under the misconception that British food is bland and tasteless, you should know that the British are obsessed with highly flavoured, and highly spicy hot Indian food. There's a massive Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi population in the UK, and like Mexican restaurants in Colorado, there's an Indian restaurant approximately every 100 yards along the streets of Britain.

Incidentally, just as a side note, if you're in Denver, the Indian restaurant that is nearest to British Indian one, is Little India, at 6th and Grant. If you ask them nicely, they'll make the curries good and hot, unlike a lot of Denver Indian restaurants who seem to tone down the heat. I've never understood why they tone it down. I mean, Coloradoans eat enough hot and spicy Mexican food, so it's not like they can't handle the heat.

Anyway, the point of mentioning Indian food, is to bring you the story of a chapatti that was baked in Bangalore, India, and has (allegedly) had the face of Jesus appear on it. The full story is available here.

Personally, I think it looks as much like John Lennon circa 1979 as it looks like the Son of God.

Given that this is a BBC News webpage, it may or may not still be available when you read this. The Beeb seems to have a habit of moving stories about (to different pages) after they've been there a while. If you don't see the story, just type in "chapatti" into their search box.

Thanks to John in Brizzle for the lead on this one.
