i don't know how much help this is but here is something i ran across that has a reference to sangati: http://www.fao.org/docrep/T0818E/T0818E0g.htm i think they mgiht be slightly off - it is a thick porridge i guess, but it includes rice.

thanks vikram - nope it's not sandige it's a very very soft mushy rice preparation used as a starch accompaniment for sambars and dhals. easy to chew, so good for babies and elders, i guess. and bland. My grandmother's house is outside of Bangalore - Madnapalli - near Rishi Valley School.

hee hee - i have - which is why this practice scares the bejeesus out of me.

i still eat this now. one of the few meals i can eat 5 days in a row. except i've gotten sophisticated and actually saute the tuna in olive oil, cayenne and garlic powder first. ummm......recently my roommate and i cleaned the pantry out as we were both broke and we ahd no food int he hosue. it was 3 day old baguette, broiled to softena nd toast it up, left over mushroom gravy, sauteed canned corned beef and onions (looks and smells a lot like dogfood - tastes pretty good) canned kipper snacks, and sardines. the corned beef and mushroom gravy tasted pretty good ont he toast. well so did the mushroom gravy and kipper snacks on toast. to me anyway. sardines - not so good.

thise drives me nuts: i've got this friend that simply cannot for the life of her, order something off a menu and let ti come as it is supposed to be. it doesn't matter if it's a fast food drive thru, takeout chinese or a real lvie sit-down restaurant. and it's not because of allergies - it's cuz she jsut wants it her way or soemthing. invariably the complicated orders get messed up, and then she sends it back. i constantly fear foreign substances in my meal when dining with her. another pet peeve - and thoroughly embarrassign to me is dining with someone who has no table manners - talks with their mouth full, holds a utensil like a truckdriver, chews with their mouth open, burps at the table, grabs stuff off of your plate, etc, etc - and it's a nice restaurant in particular, AND it's a female.

fry in my undies. or use white lily flour for anything other than biscuits.

mine would be salting and the joys of broiling with a gas stove. the broiling bit really has changed things for me the past couple weeks.

i eat 4 at mine... then again i have 6 feeding times a day. kinda like an infant.

some sort of rice concotion....like a soft mushy ball of rice, but reddish -i'm not sure if it's a different grain of rice, or if some other grain is combined. it has no flavoring.....except that brown rice taste - fiber i guess.

abc4all - thanks for the reply, i'm having difficulty making the leap from eggs that have gotten immunofactors from their mothers to using those eggs in humans...could you explain how this works within the digestive tract of a human being? (i'm a big fan of neutraceutical, and alternative medicine, but still am not sure - also an abstract can't tell me what i really need to know as far as the studies are concerned.)

*lol* me either - i was trying to extrapolate in a positive way. so basically they're just eggs. from chickens with super duper immune systems (altho i hesitate to call them healthy). edit - altho it does say ont he site that "the oral administration of such eggs passively transfers specific immunoglobins that are prophylactic or therapeautic in nature and provide differing degrees of gastrointestinal protection.....against the specific pathogens." maybe not a very far cry for those pathogens that are int he digestive tract - ie listeria, salmonella and e. coli but a bit of a stretch in my mind when it comes to strep or staph infections.

so at best these eggs are good for raw use, since you don't have to worry about getting salmonella from them. at least that's my take on it. i would be curious about the rabbits diet as well - i wonder what was fed to them in the first place, because, and correct if i'm wrong, rabbits are herbivores in the first place no? so if they had high cholesterol levels, and were given an egg, which would be unnatural for them to eat in the first place, and also has cholesterol of it's own, their bodies should down-regulate cholesterol production of it's own, since dietary cholesterol is present. so that could account for a drop in serum cholesterol. i'm just being critical of the study tho - no way to tell for sure if that's accurate - i do agree an animals tudy of that type doesn't translate well to human beings - especially when you consider the herbivore v omnivore issue.

What's nanotech orange juice? The eggs we used to work with in the lab were purchased, already inocculated with a material that caused them to develop antibodies to a common animal disease. The eggs were processed (long, complicated procedure I did many times) and the antibodies were harvested and manufactured into test kits for the disease. So it can and does work growing antibodies in eggs. The other questions are not answerable at this point, and I feel probably never will be. ahh - your way makes much more sense - to harvest the antibodies from the eggs. not eating them in hops of absorbing the antibodies. nanotechnology is soemthing i haven't delved into in any depth myself, but was explained to me by someone studying it as: teeny tiny robots that can do all sorts of things in the body. (like fight cancer and other systemic diseases) it's the hush hush future of modern medicine in the belief of my friends and acquaintances who are up on it. it's fascinating stuff, but i haven't had the time to delve really - here's a link that you might find interesting tho.... http://www.foresight.org/Nanomedicine/

or in reading the very hazy attached article - maybe the eggs have soem sort of nutritional "immune system toners" as it were? i really wish the "security department" hadn't got rid of the hyperimmune webpage. *lol*

i would think not, since it's going through the digestive system. i mean..conferring immunity to eggs via inoculation isn't exactly the same as nanotech orange juice.... if the the eggs themselves can't be kept warmer than room temperature, once they get inside the digestive tract, i'm guessing, all hope is lost. edit - that doesn't even make sense from an immunological standpoint - unless one has a ulcers or leaky gut syndrome or some other inflammatory bowel condition in which sweeper cells could create antibodies from the eggs. (at least that's if i understand the immuen system correctly) without solid data i would have to call the hyperimmune egg idea bunk. unless it means since the egg is hyperimmune if they grow into chickens they won't need antibiotics. in which case i'm all for it, but i'm thinking that's not the case.

what are these eggs immune to? i'm sort of confused because i have no idea what these are.

wow sounds like everyone got a piece of your butt.

gallbladder disease would work.

that's one hell of a butt...

i'm really trying to see some butt over here, but it's quite difficult.

this i would liek to taste.

too obscure?

well i'd never seen it before moving to Atlanta, but it's all over the menus around here. (either as "Chicken Makhni (Butter Chicken)" or "Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhni)" - i even got a recipe book somewhere that refers to it as such - which is strange - that was the one that yielded a yellow sauce. From last nights menu - Chicken Tikka Masala was discribed as pieces of Chicken Tikka in a sauce of spices and cream. Chicken Makhni was described as pieces of tandoori chicken in a sauce of tomato and butter. another interesting trend i've noticed is a lot of Indian places now have Indian Chinese items on the menu, if not a few totally dedicated to Indian chinese. lots of mushroom and chicken 65 .

hee hee...God Bless the South!! (altho i believe there are dry counties in Alabama)

what is methi? (fenugreek?) thank you tho - i've got most all of that at home, so i will try to doctor it up - i think it may have been "dumbed" down for the palates in the area. believe it or not it used to be known (and still maybe known) as on of the best Indian restaurants in Atlanta.
