Birthday treats

Most people in this company, when celebrating a birthday or the like, bring in cakes and snacks.

Today, however, it's bhajis and samosas and crisps.

Of the hot variety. Even the crisps, of which a colleague just took one which he ate without sufficient care. He was then spotted rushing off to the water fountain to cool his mouth down.

ETA: Homemade, except for the crisps.

We sometimes go to Haji's C&C, which does excellent potato puff things with a healthy amount of chilli on them.
I took some into work once, but people were strangely suspicious.

One of these items is a potato thingy.

And it does have a healthy amount of chilli paste in it. It appears to be a chunk or two of potato, about half an inch thick, with hot chilli paste spread thickly on it like jam, coated in batter and deep fried.

(And when I say 'hot', hotter than is to be found in normal supermarkets.)
